Please help me understand the meaning of every word on the compass from a friend who knows Tai Chi gossip. thank you

gossip was put forward in the Book of Changes. It is said that it was invented by Fuxi and later revised by Zhou Wenwang.

The eight diagrams are: Gan, Kun, Gen, Xun, Zhen, Hui, Kan and Li. Each hexagram is composed of three hexagrams of yin and yang. For convenience, the ancient people sang rhymes to help them remember-Gan Sanlian, Kun Liuduan, Zhen Yangyu, Geng Covering Bowl, exchanging the deficiency, Xun Xiaduan, leaving the middle empty, and the ridge full.

gossip has many meanings, the most general and the simplest of which are eight: dry for the sky, Kun for the land, root for the mountain, worry for the wind, shock for the thunder, exchange for the ze, hurdle for the water and separation for the fire.

In fact, the arrangement of the Eight Diagrams is a picture of the space-time combination of the universe, especially the acquired Eight Diagrams, which is a picture of observing the space-time combination of the universe based on the human living space-the earth.

The eight maps of the day after tomorrow cooperate with the heavenly stems and earthly branches to form twenty-four directions, and one divination governs three mountains, forming a compass in geomantic omen. In fact, the twenty-four directions in the plate do not simply refer to directions, but to the combination of time and space, which means both space and time. Its invention is more scientific than the western compass (simply referring to orientation) and clock (simply referring to time).

for example, the words zi, noon, Mao and you indicate four directions (space) of north, south, east and west, and four times of : , 12: , 6: and 18: . Mao is the time and position of the sun, and Unitary is the time and position of the sun falling to the horizon.

The Eight Diagrams Compass is also equipped with sixty jiazi and twenty-four solar terms. It provides people with an image of the Shi Kongtu of the universe, which is easy to remember and apply. Not only is it commonly used in geomantic omen, but it is widely used in astrology to match the five senses of life palace, in choosing the date to match the orientation of the day, in forecasting to match the pattern, in Qigong to match the gas field, and in traditional Chinese medicine to match the acupoints of zang-fu organs.

you can produce a kind of gossip table, that is, the time-space table, which can indicate both the orientation and the time. Twenty-four hours are represented by twenty-four directions. Compasses are added to the hour hand, minute hand and second hand. This watch is of great benefit to those who study geomantic omen, life signs, date selection, prediction, qigong and traditional Chinese medicine.

On the right is Fuxi's innate eight diagrams

Compass is an important tool for geomantic operation, and its basic function is orientation. When we know the knowledge of Feng Shui and Qi Regulation < P >, we should first learn the basic method of compass orientation.

The scientific name of the compass is Compass, which was created in the era of Xuanyuan Huangdi, and was later made by previous generations. According to the Book of Changes and the principle of Heluo, and the principle of the sun, the moon, the five stars, the seven policies, and the astronomical stars, and the undulating forms of mountains, rivers and plains on the earth, it was modified and improved, and it was used to determine the orientation and survey the terrain. Most geomancers and sailors called it Luo < p

when it comes to the use of the compass, I believe it will take a lot of space if it is discussed in detail. Because it includes so many things about

, this article only talks about simple usage.

There are many kinds of compasses, such as ternary disk, triad disk, ternary triad dual-purpose disk, easy disk, mysterious disk and

unique disks of users of various schools. However, no matter what kind of compass it is, there must be a layer in the middle that is in the direction of twenty-four mountains.

From the north, it is Renzi Gui, Ugly Gen Yin, Jiamao Yi, Chen Xun Si, Bingwu Ding, Wei Kun Shen,

Geng You Xin, Xu Gan Hai and so on. * * * Twenty-four directions. If you have a compass, You can find that the relative degrees between the compass and the pointer

are as follows:

After knowing the direction of the Twenty-four Mountains, let's look at the shape of the compass.

as you can see from the shape of the compass, the center of the compass is a circular Tianchi (compass for orientation). Outside is a

movable turntable with a copper surface and gold lettering on a black background, which is called an inner disk or disc. The circles on the disk are full of words, and it is customary to call a circle a layer. One layer is 24 directions, and the outermost layer is a square disk, which is called the outer disk or square disk. The tray body is made of rosewood, which is the most durable, but its weight is heavier than that of ordinary wooden trays.

There are four small holes in the outer disk, and two fishwires or glue lines respectively cross through the small holes in the middle of the four sides, which are used to determine the sitting orientation.

The compass is mainly used for the magnetic needle in the center, and the inner disk outside Tianchi Lake is made of steel. The background color of Tianchi Lake is generally white, and there is a red straight line at the bottom. One end has two red dots on the left and right of the red line, and the red line is located in the north and south. The side with the red dots is the sub side (due north) and the other end is the noon side (due south), and there is a very sensitive magnetic needle on it. One end of the magnetic needle has a small hole.

When using the compass, hold the outer disk with your hands on the left and right, and separate your feet slightly. Put the compass in a position

between your chest and abdomen, and keep the compass horizontal, not high left and low right, or high front and low back. Then sit with your back

, face to face, and start to stand upright.

At this time, the crosshair silk thread on the compass should coincide with the front, back, left and right positions of the house

. If the crosshair is not in the right direction, the measured sitting direction will be deviated.

After fixing the position of the crosshair, move the inner disk with the thumbs of both hands. When the inner disk rotates, Tianchi will

rotate with it. Turn the inner disk until the magnetic needle stops and overlaps with the red line in Tianchi.

It is very important that the end of the magnetic needle with a small hole must coincide with the two little red dot on the red line, and the positions cannot be reversed. At this time, it shows that the fishing line (the horizontal one) sitting in the square intersects with each layer of the inner disk. All kinds of data and information we are looking for are displayed in the area that this fishing line crosses and covers.

However, there are more than ten or twenty layers on the compass. Which layer is the sitting direction? That's the floor of the 24 th Mountain.

it's near Tianchi. We use the "mountain" in the direction of the fishing line to indicate the direction, and the "mountain" in the direction of the fishing line to indicate the sitting.

for example, sitting on the mountain is a child, and sitting on the mountain is noon, so we call it sitting in the afternoon.

If you know that you are sitting backwards in your house, you can find the

orientation (or palace position) of the whole house by putting the compass at the center of the whole house.

Second, the application of the compass "three disks and three needles"

1. The site-used for vertical orientation-put a compass or compass on the Tai Chi point to measure all directions, and the Tai Chi point in Yangzhai

is in the house; The Yin House is at the center of the tomb top.

2. People's plate-used for removing sand-looking at peaks, buildings, trees, walls, piles, towers, chimneys, etc.

3. The sky plate-used to receive water-depends on the coming and going of water or the direction of the road. Such as water, rivers, ponds, wells, toilets

(turbid water), fish farming (moving water), doors and windows (moving water), roads or flat land (empty or fake water), etc.

three, the eight diagrams attribute water intake method:

1, dry Kunxun wood.

2. Ethyl-butyl-decyl soil.

3. Meridian, Mao, Yi, Jia, Geng, Bing and Ren belong to fire.

4. Ugliness is not gold.

5. Yinshen Sihai belongs to water.

four, eight diagrams attribute:

1, wooden clay is wealth.

2. aquatic wood is expensive.

3. seeing wood is flourishing.

4, wood fire for drainage.

5. Jin Kemu was killed.
