In China culture, gossip, like "Yin-Yang and Five Elements", is used as a tool to infer the relationship between various things in world time and space. Each six-pointed star represents something. Dry represents the sky, Kun represents the earth, Xun represents the wind, earthquake represents the thunder, ridge represents the water, far represents the fire, gen represents the mountain, and right represents the ze.
Gossip is like eight infinite invisible big pockets, which put everything in the universe. Eight trigrams are matched with each other to become sixty-four hexagrams, which are used to symbolize various natural phenomena and personnel phenomena, and are based on various people and things in today's society; The eight diagrams in traditional Chinese medicine refer to the eight parts around the palm. Gossip represents Yi-ology culture and permeates all fields of East Asian culture.
Extended data:
There are three main theories about the origin of gossip:
1, Fuxi painted eight diagrams in Guatai Mountain, and later there were Fuxi painting tables in Tianshui, Gansu and Henan. Guatai Mountain, also known as Guatai, is said to be the place where Fu began to draw gossip when observing astronomy and geography. Located at the northern end of Sanyang in western Sichuan, it now governs Weinan Town in Maiji District.
Of course, many modern scholars do not believe that future generations entrusted some inventions to ancient celebrities; In addition, it belongs to the Qingdun site in Hai 'an County, eastern Jiangsu Province in the late Neolithic period, and 1979 unearthed eight hexagrams. In the ancient environment with sparse population, numerous tribes and backward communication tools, it takes a long process for culture to spread to distant eastern Jiangsu.
2. Zhang's divination theory evolved into eight diagrams in many steps: his article "A Trial Interpretation of the Yi Gua in the Early Zhou Dynasty" studied a number of digital divination unearthed in the 20th century, and thought that there were a large number of divination (digital divination) at first, and then it was simplified into several divination numbers, and then it was simplified from these specific values to (one or six numbers in the Warring States Period).
From the end of the Warring States to the Qin and Han Dynasties, it evolved into an abstract binary symbol of Yin and Yang (common in later generations), and the philosophy of Yin and Yang originated very late. This theory has a great contradiction with the records of some ancient books and has a great influence.
3. Liu Linying's astronomical hexagrams evolved into the Eight Diagrams Theory: His "A New Solution to the Mystery of the Origin of the Book of Changes" expounded the six-hexagram system theory and thought that hexagrams originated from the prediction activities of astronomers' measuring tools. The original hexagram was a six-hexagram system, without divination and deviation, and later evolved into a gossip system. The important evidence is that the six-hexagram system (such as Yin San Sanyang) is the backbone theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which cannot be explained by gossip, but the moon divination in the six-hexagram system exists ".
Later, the paper "A Textual Research on the Use of Six Images in Digital divination in Shang and Zhou Dynasties" denied that Yi divination originated from divination theory, and demonstrated that the four images divination method before the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was based on six images. The complicated divination figures are only the figures of six images and their changes, while the six images of Yin and Yang are essentially
