Do you know the Book of Changes? What is the Book of Changes?

What is the Book of Changes? This answer may only be understood by China people, but foreigners don't like it very much. No problem, but in some ways, but it can't be, because the Book of Changes is too big. In a big city like Beijing, which way did you come in? You all entered Beijing, but after you came in, you still have no idea. Everyone is right only in some parts, so it is difficult to make it clear. So why do people always have different opinions and different paranoia? This is because.

How was the Book of Changes completed? Generally speaking, we have two sentences. People are more sacred, and the world is three ancient. People have three saints: Fuxi, and then count Zhou Wenwang, the Duke of Zhou and his son as one, which is very reasonable. So, when was Confucius and Fuxi, in ancient times, Zhou Wenwang in the Middle Ages, and Confucius in modern times, or the ancient capital, the same. It took a very long time and experienced many saints, so it should be said that the Book of Changes belongs to collective creation. I think we in China have almost everything.

The Book of Changes is profound and all-encompassing. There are two sentences that everyone is very familiar with: "Its greatness is nothing more than its smallness" (Lv Chunqiu). It is so big that it has no outside, but so small that it has no inside. We like to talk about systems today. The largest system in the world is the Book of Changes. So what is the function of such a book? Some people will not believe me when I say it, and some people will be shocked, but I believe that after listening to the whole series, you will suddenly realize. The Book of Changes is a treasure house to unlock the life code of the universe. Do you think this conclusion is exaggerated? You said that so many scientists are trying to unlock the code of the universe. They still dare not say how such an ancient book can do such a great thing, so everyone will think in their hearts, has it been solved? If you don't untie it, isn't it empty? You talked for a long time, but it didn't work. What's the use? We boldly explained it to you and solved it. It has been more than 2500 years since Confucius untied the tie, but we have never used it much. You see, all the manifolds in the society are very small, so Confucius is very emotional, but we can't hear Confucius' feelings. He said, "Man can spread Taoism, but he can't spread Taoism" (The Analects of Wei Linggong). Confucius said: the password of the universe has been unlocked, but it is up to humans to carry it forward, not waiting for that password to unlock it for you. People can be wise, but people should make good use of this password. If they are unwise, you can't lie here and wait for it to give you some help. That is wrong. When we talk about Confucius, why should we have solved the code of the universe?

Since ancient times, human beings have been exploring the mysteries of the universe in various ways. But until today, when technology is highly developed, the universe is still a huge question mark for human beings. So how did our ancestors get the password to crack the universe thousands of years ago? )

Because we got three keys, the first key is called Fuxi Bagua Map, and almost every household has seen it and hung it, but we don't know what it is for. That's the golden key to unlock the cosmic code. How long have we had it? It's been 7000 years. But I didn't realize. I always thought it was interesting and could ward off evil spirits. Even foreigners follow us in a daze. Foreigners are gossiping now, but if you ask him, he says you are China's stuff, how do I know? Fuxi's gossip tells us the most basic secret of the universe, which is the so-called "Yin and Yang". You see, scientists have felt that objects must have the smallest basic elements. They have talked a lot, but they can't always say the word Yin and Yang. We have been talking about Yin and Yang, but we don't know it. This is the most basic element of all things in the universe. Yin and Yang are the most basic elements in the universe.

The second key is Wang Wen's 64 hexagrams. He told us that there are only 64 passwords in the universe. Everyone must think, why 64? Can't you be 63? Can't it be 82? Who said that? The Book of Changes talked a lot about numbers, but now people look at the numbers in the Book of Changes with mathematical concepts, and the differences between them are too great. Numbers are alive, numbers are alive, not dead. There is nothing wrong with the same numbers, but for westerners, they are one, two, one and two, but not for China people. I'm going to say a very important word now, which everyone often hears but doesn't care. What do one and two, two and one mean? When we talk about simple numbers, we will make it clear. Hexagrams are 64 codes of the universe, which are represented by numbers. Do you find that all safes now use numbers, and all passwords must be inseparable from numbers? But in the safe we use now, its numbers are dead, one is one, and the other is two, but the numbers of the universe are changing, and it is alive.

The third key is the ten wings that Confucius gave us. Confucius deleted the Book of Songs and deleted a large part of it. He will delete it. He made rituals and music. He wrote a very difficult book called Chunqiu, but when he saw the Book of Changes, he praised it respectfully, so he praised it, but he didn't delete it. After reading it, he was in awe of Zhouyi and was full of praise, so he added a cross wing to Zhouyi. We call it ten wings, and he hopes that Zhouyi can fly. It's a pity that his ideal has not been completed. After the Book of Changes flies, it looks like: the world is a family. It doesn't matter if we go to the global village in the western way now. Because it doesn't have to be me. As long as you can achieve human harmony, everyone will develop peacefully. In fact, we will not oppose it in any way. Therefore, the road below depends on ourselves. We have such a good treasure, but we are asleep and we can't wake up. Now is the time.

It can be said that the Book of Changes we saw today was jointly created by three ancient sages. Fuxi created eight diagrams, Zhou Wenwang created 64 hexagrams, which were later called Yijing, and Confucius wrote ten wings for Yijing. So who is Fuxi, the founder of the Book of Changes? Why did he create gossip? )

Let me ask you first, who is Fuxi? What kind of person is he? We can use a modern phrase to describe Fuxi. He is a man who really serves the people. He is called Fuxi. Foreigners don't know much about it. We all say that China people worship idols, while China people have never worshipped idols since ancient times. We just thank and commemorate those who were very enthusiastic and really provided the best service to the people, that's all. Look at the man we worship. He didn't serve the people before his death. I think it makes sense for me to say this sentence, that is, serving the people is an unchanging law at all times and in all countries. But some are true or false, some are well done, some are badly done, and some are really well done. He can't be written off after his death. Remember him forever. This is the way China people live forever. Without religion, people all over the world are pursuing eternal life, because I have lived for decades and I left. I am not reconciled. I must find a way to live forever. Westerners can't find any way. Finally, I only hope for religion, which is called "people who believe in me will live forever." China people don't need it. Because of you, the people of China live in everyone's heart, and you will never die. You see Confucius is not dead, he lives in our hearts, Fuxi is not dead, he lives in our hearts, how can Fuxi live in our hearts? Because he solved many problems for the people at that time, let's look back. At the beginning, we did not enter the agricultural society. Before the agricultural society appeared, what did we live on? By fishing and hunting, what do you fear most when you go out fishing and hunting? On the way, the weather changed dramatically, so I didn't have time to escape, and I might even die. So many people asked Fuxi, saying that I am going out tomorrow, what's the weather like? Fu is the stationmaster of the first weather report station in the world. That's right. Say you can leave at sunrise tomorrow, and go south tomorrow. If there is thunder, you should be careful, you will go to the northwest with heavy rain. At first, everyone was skeptical, but later everyone thought it was correct. The more people ask, the less time he has to deal with it. What should I do? So he said that starting from tomorrow, I will be on this tree, and I will hang such an image, and you will know what the weather will be like tomorrow. Fu Xishi told everyone, what is this? This is 2 12 years, and this is the history of mankind. There was no history at that time, as we know. The first password is called 2 12. What is 2 12? It's rain. To be honest, what it is and what it stands for are explained by the people behind it. Fu gained great trust from the people, and he gradually expanded his weather forecast, which has become a familiar gossip until today. Fuxi slowly introduced different divinatory symbols according to the needs of the people. Fuxi didn't tell it at first, what it was, what it was, because people told him too much, which was basically useless, so he just told everyone that you should remember a few numbers. What does 12 1 stand for, what does 122 stand for, what does 2 12 stand for, and what does 22 1 stand for? This is exactly the same as playing computer today, which is called the digital age. You see, when you send a telegram, you use numbers in this way, and the other party will know what you said. This word is based on this image. I have no objection to this at all, so it is called pictograph. It was originally a symbol of rain, but when it came, it became a water word. Later, from Fuxi's gossip, we slowly created many characters, which is a fact. But Fuxi's intention is to tell us the state of the whole universe. Let us know how to adapt and how to improve. This work is still in progress. Fuxi gossip tells human beings that the state of the universe allows human beings to know how to adapt and improve. Later, someone told him that you always taught us to memorize these numbers, and sometimes we made mistakes. You just told us that there must be some truth in this. He said, well, since you want to know the truth, I will tell you that as long as you understand this image (innate gossip), you will fully understand the truth. We must explain, what is Fuxi gossip? Fuxi gossip is what we often call a wordless gobbledygook Why is the Book of Changes called a wordless gobbledygook? Because fu didn't say anything at all. There is no text yet, so how can it have text? All the words, in fact, the whole Book of Changes does not exceed 4,000 words, but they are all added slowly after the words are produced, so at that time, there were only images without words, which was called a wordless gobbledygook without any restrictions. He can communicate with the world and the universe. After Fuxi figured it out, he began to draw hexagrams, so we have great respect for his paintings and call them Yi. The Book of Changes begins with an epoch-making science called "Big Bang" and goes on to talk about what the ultimate situation of mankind will be like. It's not fully developed yet. Why? Because we still have a long way to go. This wordless gobbledygook is a treasure house that human beings have to go on in the future.

(Fuxi Eight Diagrams, a wordless book, has been circulated for 7,000 years, which is enough to prove the eternal truth. Then, how did Fuxi discover the mystery of the universe and draw gossip in the wild primitive period? )

What is his method? The three methods used by Fuxi had a great influence on China. The first one is looking up. Everyone thinks it's easy. You will see the sky at first sight, and you will find that this is the exclusive right of human beings. Animals have no right to look up at the sky, which is unique to human beings. Everything has a celestial phenomenon. China people are good at leaning back, but they are not tall enough later. If you climb higher, you will see the sky. The second one looks down on your body, which means that even if you have taken care of others, you must take care of yourself. The whole Book of Changes is what I saw from myself, so later we said "everything is ready". I am a small universe. You see there are mountains in nature, and the mountains of people are mountains here. Everything in the universe can be found in you, so being a man is not simple. The third modern word is called wide angle. For example, we can't just look at one place. When you look at the sky, you can't just look at one place. You should see more. You have to cover everything, which is called careful consideration, and you don't lack anything. This is called Zhouyi. The word Zhouyi has nothing to do with the Zhou Dynasty, but everyone says it has something to do with the Zhou Dynasty, because it happens to be Zhou Wenwang. Zhou Wenwang is a man who is proficient in Yi Li. He won't crown a book with his surname. He wouldn't do such a thing. This is a taboo. Zhou is very thorough and thorough, and it is endless, so it is called Zhouyi.

Fu Xishi, why did he draw hexagrams? Why? Many people say that he promotes character education in order to shape characters, which is not quite right. If Fuxi created writing, his achievements would be very low, just like Cang Xie's. After Cang Xie created these characters, Cang Xie's fame could not be compared with Fuxi's. Fortunately, Fuxi didn't create words. We created words according to his footprints. He didn't make words because he knew that the whole system was images and numbers.

(Fuxi's gossip is composed of numbers and images, and modern high-tech electronic computers are also composed of numbers. From this point of view, Fu in China seven thousand years ago can be said to be the originator of computers. So what is the relationship between the ancient Book of Changes and modern science? )

Ok, let's talk about a modern saying, which is accepted by everyone. 0 10 1 constitutes an endless international network. Science, modernization, and international integration, our ancestors said seven thousand years ago that one yin and one yang would create the universe, which is exactly the same, with different words, because there was no such thing as yin and yang in the world at that time, but one yin and one yang could not be interpreted as one yin and one yang, which was a big mistake, so a small mistake and misunderstanding produced many disadvantages, so we must put all these details together this time. It lay there quietly. If you ignore it, it won't ignore you. If you ignore it, it won't refuse you. But how much you get is your own business, which doesn't help. This is nature, this is real nature.

The Book of Changes is a system that develops completely according to nature, so we in China learn from nature and learn from it. Besides, we should remember that it is most appropriate to test whether everything is good or bad, right or wrong. Everything that China people think is developed from nature. In a word, learn from nature and learn from nature. Don't be too arrogant. It is unnatural to act according to human preferences, so now everyone must pay great attention to science, right? Of course. Science is badly needed by human beings, but westerners lack the nature to guide them in science, which is the most important thing. It is the people of China who began to use the laws of nature to regulate modern science, make it on the right path, and help our people live a happy and healthy life. Our ancestors worked hard to develop this treasure book, but we didn't apply for intellectual property rights, and neither did we. We think it is suitable for everyone. Go ahead, I won't charge you anything. I think this is the way to be a man, and this is generosity.

The Book of Changes is a system that develops completely according to nature. Why did it later become the general source of China's philosophy? And why did Fuxi's symbols used to make weather forecasts become the password to crack the life of the universe? We modern people, what is the practical significance of learning the Book of Changes? )

According to today's statement, the Book of Changes can be said to be a natural science, but we know that after Confucius, in addition to the natural science part, this book has added another name: ethics. In addition to natural science, our Book of Changes is also combined with ethics. Together, these two things can represent the whole Book of Changes.

Fuxi used to tell everyone about the change of the weather with symbols, but later he gradually realized that it was not only the weather, but also many things directly related to life would develop from it. Is there any practical significance for modern people to learn the Book of Changes? I think this question is also very important. If studying for half a day is useless and time is so precious, we can talk a lot, but according to the habit of Yijing, we will only talk three at a time, so we will put forward the following three points for your reference.

First of all, it can correct many specious ideas. We have too many ideas that make our brains unclear, but we don't know them. Let me give you an example. As is very common today, everyone thinks this is correct, which is called self-confidence. Should people have confidence? This kind of words can't be answered by yes or no, in the Book of Changes: the favored son of heaven is prosperous. It includes self-confidence, but we talk about ourselves in China, only what we talk about, only self-awareness, only self-reflection, self-examination and self-discipline. We never talked about confidence. Nowadays, young people are too confident to be happy all their lives, because people have controllable parts and uncontrollable parts. The controllable part is in my hand and the uncontrollable part is in the sky. Therefore, the confidence of China people lies in God, not themselves. Let's take one more turn. You can try. We believe that God will bless people like us. If God doesn't bless people like us, who will he bless? That's all. If you take away God, people are confident. If you try, you will be arrogant and arrogant, and you will be too self-centered. Then your interpersonal relationship will be poor and you can't do anything well. At present, we can cite many so-called universal values, which are actually open to question. This will only make sense after learning the Book of Changes.

The second Book of Changes is mysterious and meaningful. The mystery is because science was not developed before, and we couldn't explain it scientifically, so we had to use Shinto packaging. Now that we are scientifically developed, we can interpret the mystery in the Book of Changes in a modern (scientific) way. But its morality, you can't replace it, so the morality of the Book of Changes will be greatly improved in 2 1 century.

The third globalization is an inevitable trend and no one can stop it. But now, as you can see, all global activities have met with fierce resistance. Why? Because it will cause a lot of questions, saying that after globalization, local culture will be completely eliminated, and no regional cultural hope will be eliminated. At this time, everyone will know that only something as broad and inclusive as the Book of Changes can solve our four words and seek common ground while reserving differences. We will respect the culture of each region, but we will find the biggest common ground among them to become the gene of Datong. Only the Book of Changes can do this. To understand the Book of Changes, we should start with Yin and Yang, which is Fu's greatest and most rare contribution, and we are familiar with it.

But we often use it wrongly. I saw all this I ching knowledge in official website, a prophet. For reference only, I hope I can help you.
