Which side of a copper coin is positive and which side is negative?

Although divination is a very basic thing in the prediction of six hexagrams, because the ancients talked about the advantages and disadvantages of coins, they always only talked about the difference between words and the back, that is, literal and non-literal, but they did not say which is yin and which is yang, which led to modern people's respective understanding of the concepts of yin and yang. It seems to be a simple question which side of a copper coin is the front and which side is the back. In fact, it represents many things. Not long ago, I argued with Mr. Guan Naiqiao for a long time because of this matter. Here, I found some convincing related materials on the Internet and shared them with my friends. I also want to find some background knowledge for you before Mr. Pang Yulong's six-year course begins. Judging from the method of divination, the definition of yin and yang in divination is as follows: once, the word "single". The "▅ ▅ ▅" in the painting is from Shaoyang. The word "two backs" is called "demolition", and painting "▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅9 Three backs, without words, are called "heavy" and the painting "▅▅▅▅▅ O" is Lao Yang, which is a change. These three words without the back are called "Jiao", while painting "Today's people learn easily, mostly from this book. The sages of Yi-ology used a fixed format long ago, and today people dare not disagree. Therefore, if the seven hexagrams of ancient bronze money are used, the arrangement method is not controversial, but why should they be arranged like this? However, there are various understandings, mainly the differences in understanding of positive and negative yin and yang. Some people say that "Yang's back is Yin's right", while others say that "Yin's back is Yang's right", because modern habits say that positive and negative are not used to talking about Yin and Yang, but in fact, many people have begun to study whether the positive side represents the positive side or the negative side, which is really like the big seal of the six countries, and the more it is pulled, the more chaotic it is. Some people even hold another view that divination is the product of thought and is naturally dominated by people's subjective thoughts. I think what is positive is positive, and everything should be decided by people's thoughts. The differences between these concepts are reflected in the arrangement of hexagrams in modern coins. According to different understandings, using modern coins to shake divination can actually discharge several different divination images. Which one is correct? Everyone has his own opinion. They all say that their methods are the most correct, and divination is proof. Once, a famous Yi scholar told me about divination with dry copper coins. He said, "Divination with dry copper coins is the cleverest. The coins written in ancient books refer to "dry copper coins". The side with Chinese characters is the word, and the side without words and patterns is the back. Of course, the word side is positive and the back side is negative. Don't you think treason and betrayal are the same thing? Therefore, this word represents the positive side and the back side represents the negative side. However, he didn't know that the copper coin in his hand was actually two sides of the word. The "pattern" he thought was actually Manchu. The method of shaking money did not begin in the Qing Dynasty, and there were no copper coins before. How did the ancients start divination? Copper coins in the Ming Dynasty have words on one side and no words on the other. Does the meaning of "Hui" in ancient times really mean "opposite"? Is there no other explanation? For example, it means "the other side"? As far as I ching theory is concerned, if this word represents a positive side, then these three words are all positive and have no negative side. How does the Book of Changes express "Laoyin"? What is even more strange is that it will become "shaoyang", and everything that is yang can become "shaoyang"? Is it rejuvenation? Obviously, this is an illogical explanation. A scholar told me with certainty that I think words definitely represent the dark side, oh! I'm all ears now! Then explain: "You see, one word with two backs is a small yin, that is to say, a reverse side has two fronts, and the reverse side is a minority, so it is called" small yin ",which is easy to understand. "Ha ha, I almost fainted! What is the real meaning of the word "less"? After all, there are great differences between ancient and modern concepts, so we can't explain the views of the ancients with the concepts of modern people. Modern people's point of view is that the word goes north and south, and the word looks from the left, and zero is the beginning of the day; However, the ancient people's idea was to go up and down, and the words were seen from the right, and midnight (23: 00) was the beginning of the day. Since you want to follow ancient divination methods and theories, is it reasonable to understand and explain it with modern people's ideas? Maybe someone wants to say, can't we do it in a way that everyone agrees with? You see, even coin appraisers say that ancient money with words is positive and ancient money without words is negative. Why take it seriously? Yes, but after all, they are not people who study Yi-ology and archaeology. Are the knowledge and customs of Yi people recognized by most people correct? After knowing Yi, I always feel a little ironic during the Spring Festival. In every corner of today's public opinion, the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse were actually divided at 0: 00 on the first day of New Year's Eve, not on the day of beginning of spring. Every New Year's Eve at 24 o'clock, the host of the Spring Festival Evening will shout: The Year of the Pig is here! Then it boiled all around, and TV stations rushed to report how many babies were born as "pig heads". Congratulations! ! Everyone is shouting, but they don't know that the real Year of the Pig will come a few days before "beginning of spring". These babies born at good times are actually dogs. If you have a slight objection, you will be ridiculed immediately: "Are you a pig? Not counting the year of the pig is zero? I don't agree with the view that the nature of Yin and Yang is determined by people's subjective thoughts. I think which side is the positive side is the positive side. Is everything in the objective world like this? I think you are a woman. Are you a woman? Hehe, it's a bit like calling a deer a horse. Having said so much, only one sentence is the most useful. If you are not a person who is keen on "obsessing over the dead end", you must make great efforts to find out which side of "Zi and Bei" is Yang and which side is Yin, and you must use real money for divination, so if you don't understand, just play dumb and don't worry about which side of "Zi and Bei" is right or wrong. Just take the ancient copper coins and arrange divination according to the instructions of ancient books, regardless of whether divination is supported literally or not. The objective definition of Yin and Yang: Which statement is correct? In fact, the key to the definition of yin and yang of coins is not the quality of "word and back", nor the dominance of subjective concepts. The key is to observe the objective essence of things. Without objective environmental conditions, there is no "easy" space. The sky is clear, the earth is cloudy, the sky is vast and empty, and the animals and plants on the ground are full of entities; At four o'clock a day, the land is bound by it; Therefore, the essence of Yin and Yang is that the deficiency of Yin is real, the simplicity of Yin is complex, the manifestation of Yin is hidden, the rigidity of Yin is soft, Yin is internal, Yin is male, Yin is female, heaven and earth are combined to give birth to everything, and men and women are combined to give birth to offspring. Why does the Book of Changes take dry divination as the first and Kun divination as the second? Why are only two of the sixty-four hexagrams, Gankun, enjoying the special treatment of "using nine and using six"? It can be said that "heaven and earth" is the general basis for the mutual change of yin and yang in the Book of Changes, and it is also the origin of the rules of the Book of Changes. Coins are no exception, and we must follow the essential law of this thing. Therefore, coins should be distinguished according to the principle of "simplicity is a positive side and complexity is a negative side". Based on this, the conclusion is completely consistent. As follows: ★ Song and Ming coins (with words on one side and no words on the other): there are words on the "word" side and words on the "back" side. Distinguish yin and yang with the principle of excess and deficiency. The imaginary back (without words) represents the positive side, and the real words (with words) represent the negative side. The three positive faces are "Lao Yang", and when the yang is exhausted, it becomes "Shaoyin", so the three back faces of ancient books are "Lao Yang"; The negative one is "old yin", while the negative one is "less yang", so the word "old yin" is used in ancient books. ★ Qing Dynasty coins (one side is Chinese and the other is Manchu): Chinese is the "character" side, and Manchu is the "back" side. Distinguish yin and yang by the principle of simplicity and complexity. The back with simple texture (full text) represents the front, and the literal with complex texture (Chinese) represents the back. The three positive faces are "Lao Yang", and when the yang is exhausted, it becomes "Shaoyin", so the three back faces of ancient books are "Lao Yang"; The negative one is "old yin", while the negative one is "less yang", so the word "old yin" is used in ancient books. Therefore, it can be inferred that regardless of ancient and modern coins, the principle of "simplicity is positive and complexity is negative" should be used to objectively distinguish between yin and yang. Understand this truth, the distinction between yin and yang of coins becomes very clear. For example, if a foreign coin is placed in front of you, what principle do you use to distinguish between yin and yang? Pattern? Numbers? Your own subjective thoughts? Or something else? It's simple. For all coins, you don't have to care what graphics or patterns they are, or whether you can read them, just compare the two sides. The relatively complex shape is the female side, and the relatively simple side is the male side. Another example is suppose that you have three circular metal pieces in your hand, both sides of which are smooth and grain-free. How can you turn it into a tool for divination? How to define yin and yang? The answer is to mark any side of three metals, then the marked side becomes tangible, and the tangible side is real, while the other side is still smooth and intangible, and the intangible side is virtual. The virtual is positive, but the real is negative, thus objectively defining Yin and Yang, which can be used as a divination tool. Postscript: Some people say that it is not necessary to use Gan Long Bao Tong for divination. When I asked Mr. Pang Yulong about the six-skill method, I also took out the fake money I bought in the market. 20 1 1 In March, my teacher brought me three copper coins issued by the Ministry of Industry before going to Shanghai. Seriously, it's true or false, and it can be used when necessary. Think about the society now, there are enough fakes. Do you still want to lie to yourself when you ask the truth?
