Inquire about the auspicious day of spring cattle in the yellow calendar

In 2022, the year of the New Year in Shu Tong, jubao floor, and the beginning of Gengzi in 2022, the plague was born, which made the ancient book Mother Earth appear in people's field of vision again. Many people marvel at the accuracy of its prediction, but many people say it is just a coincidence. In the era of traffic economy, the end of the world is always one of the most eye-catching topics, but what is described in the book coincides with the facts that happened in 2022 in many ways. Is this just a coincidence? What are the new predictions for 2022 in the book? In this issue, Uncle Bing is going to talk about the classic of Mother Earth, one of the three wonderful books of ancient prophecy.

Under the inheritance of China traditional culture, people have the habit of looking at the Gregorian calendar in advance. Whether it's a wedding, a funeral, or a housewarming, we must first turn to the Gregorian calendar and double it. It can be said that the Gregorian calendar covers everything, including not only astronomy, meteorology and seasons, but also some taboos that people should abide by in their daily lives. In addition to these rules and regulations of life, it also guides the farming opportunities of ancient farmers in China, so it is also called the lunar calendar.

The Mother Earth Sutra we are talking about today is juxtaposed with the Spring Cattle Map, which appears in the Buyu Sagger and the Laohuang Calendar produced in Hong Kong and Taiwan. "Spring Cattle Map" is an illustration used in ancient China to predict the weather, rainfall, dead branches, five elements, agricultural harvest and other factors. A cow and a petunia are painted on the screen, and poems are recorded on the left and right sides respectively, which will predict the weather and agricultural harvest of that year.

The Mother Earth Classic was originally published in a general book, also known as the Yellow Emperor Mother Earth Classic. Legend has it that it was written by Xuanyuan Huangdi, accompanied by the almanac "Huangli" created by Huangdi, and the cultural history of China has been circulated. As for the specific dynasty, what historical records have been recorded and circulated for many years, it has been submerged in the long river of history and cannot be verified. We can only know that this book once guided the life of our ancestors.

The word "Mother Earth" in the Classic of Mother Earth is recorded in the Book of Rites, which shows that Mother Earth carries everything in the sky and learns from the earth. It is to respect the heavens and the earth, so it is also good for the people. It is precisely because of the powerful energy of fertility, high yield and care that Mother Earth makes the world rich and fertile and people live and work in peace and contentment, so future generations come as "Mother Earth".

The Mother Earth Classic is a book based on the traditional branches and arranged in the cycle of sixty years. It is accompanied by predictive poems and Oracle Bone Inscriptions every year to predict natural disasters such as agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery, aquaculture, pests and diseases every year and guide people's agricultural life. The language in "The Classic of Mother Earth" is simple and straightforward, and it is a summary of the laws of nature from hardworking China in ancient times. You can also think of it as an ancient China person. We can't say that it is complete in exploring the laws of nature, because the agricultural situation and natural disasters in China do have certain periodicity, and this book has certain significance in disaster prevention and resilience.

Looking back on the past year, 2022 was miserable because of the sudden outbreak of the epidemic and various predictions. Today, there are still many people suffering from pneumonia in the world, and economic stagnation has caused heavy casualties. The floods in China have also made the residents in the Yangtze River Basin miserable. In the trade war, the aggressive American imperialists made China's economy worse. So all our sufferings this year are recorded in the Mother Earth Sutra?

In the Classic of the Mother Earth, the year of Gengzi in 2022 is like this. The poem says: Gengzi is too old, with many sudden deaths, many floods in spring and summer, and many in autumn and winter. There is still half-late rice in Gaotian, Qinhuai's feet are wandering, and Wu Chu's hands are plundering. Mulberry leaves must be cheap, but silkworms don't like them. See the silkworm can't see the silk, eager to use white. It is said that rats were consumed in the early years, and there was a deviation in height. It is more important to see the graves of Sandong and Houshan. Poetry is relatively easy to understand and can barely be compared with reality.

Many people died of the epidemic last year. There are frequent floods in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and there will be big floods in spring and summer. The flood in the Yangtze River basin also confirms this statement. However, there are still many predictions in poetry that have nothing to do with reality. Aside from too many predictions, it is hard to say that there were places like Qinhuai and Wu Chu in the Yellow Emperor period. This shows that The Mother Earth Sutra itself belongs to the Yellow Emperor, but it is not really from the Yellow Emperor. After all, some classical scholars, such as Li and Yuan Tiangang, who can't delve into it, are nominal and can't pass the exam, so they seem to have been circulated for a long time.

The Classic of the Earth makes 2022 Gengzi Year very pessimistic and negative. So, how does Mother Earth Classic predict the end of the world in 2022? Poetry says: In his later years, he was less ill, Wu Yuesang was good, Jingchu rice and wheat were rainy in spring and summer, and autumn and winter were very ten. Mulberry leaves are beautiful, silkworms are happy, and six animals are wandering around. Bu Yue said that Xin Chou Niu, led by Xin Chou Niu, was very poor, and the epidemic entered the Xin Chou Year, and his condition began to fade gradually. For agriculture, 2022 will be a good year.

However, there are two versions of the last sentence in the poem. One view is that there will be many causes of death in 2022, and those who survive will enter a brand-new good start, while the other view is that half of the surplus grain of the people's family can be kept, even if it is described in the book, obviously the second view is more reasonable. If you want to delve into this book,

In fact, there is a slight difference between modern and ancient times. As early as the theory of this disease in Huangdi Neijing, it was recorded that Jueyin did not abdicate, that is, the wind rose early, the rain did not fall, the season remained unchanged, and the people were ill. It has been pointed out that this is seasonal and popular, and there are environmental factors. It can be seen that the ancients have long recognized seasonal diseases and infectious diseases caused by some special emergencies.

In the subsequent process of understanding, such as Cao Zhi's Talk about Epidemic Qi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, not only the epidemic was discovered, but also the disease caused by environmental problems, which was ridiculous and useless to laugh at fools for expelling them. So what impact will the ancients have when they encounter it, and how do they deal with it?

Unlike today, we have established a relatively complete infectious disease system, the ancient environment is very different from today, with poor mobility and low population density. Therefore, if infectious diseases occur, they are mostly confined to a certain area, and it is difficult to cause a national epidemic. Even if there is a national epidemic, it is not necessarily caused by the same pathogen. But even so, the ancients often said thousands or even tens of thousands. Compared with tens of millions of people in ancient China, the disaster is very serious. Today, as far as China is concerned, a relatively complete infectious disease examination and approval system has been established, which is actually lower than that caused by ancient infectious diseases.

At present, the main causes of death are malignant tumors, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other chronic diseases. With ten times the population today, and far exceeding the mobility and population density of ancient times, these modern ones cannot be built by ancient standards, because they are completely preventable and controllable. According to the inquiry of relevant materials, we can find that the Mother Earth Sutra has many universal definitions and can only be used as a chat.

No matter what kind of point of view, it needs actual data to verify, not what others say. For this, we can refer to the accuracy of other predictions in Mother Earth Classic. For example, in Chen Bingnian (1976), meteorite shower fell from the northeast and Tangshan occurred. However, according to the Mother Earth Sutra, it was rainy in the spring of Tai sui, and beans and wheat lacked Qi Yan and fields. The prediction of agriculture in The Classic of Mother Earth is still inaccurate, not to mention others, such as the poverty of people during the war and the lack of food and clothing. However, according to The Classic of Mother Earth, the silkworm mother kept fighting for the silkworm leaves, butterflies spread their wings and her husband was worried about the harvest, which painted a picture of the peace of the Thai people. Is this accurate?

It can be seen that it is absurd to use mother's classics to predict the annual fortune. These remarks about the epidemic being doomed are even more stupid and bad. It's time for the exam, but they came out misleading. First, they raised their mother's classics to the height of the ancient books, and then pretended to be Oracle. A good calculus explanation makes ignorant people tremble with fear, instead of contributing.

The Classic of Mother Earth itself is only a general book made according to the law of historical periodicity, and its tendency also lies in the agricultural field. The law of historical periodicity refers to the cyclical phenomenon that everyone in the world will experience ups and downs and the collapse caused by extreme injustice, so as to achieve new relative fairness, and agriculture naturally conforms to this law.

Moreover, the classic of Mother Earth is based on sixty jiazi, which is the favorite operation of the book. There is also the Book of Confucius, which is a "book" written in the name of Confucius to predict the future. It is a series of sixties, which is predicted year by year. The exact date of this book is unknown. The early versions are Tongzhi, Guangxu and version.

Intriguingly, The Classic of Mother Earth itself is a general book about agriculture, and this 60-year-old book focuses on agriculture. It may be that China has carried out the idea of taking agriculture as the foundation since ancient times, but it is more likely that The Book of Mother Earth is the product of copying the Book of Mother Earth, and so on. According to the earliest Confucius book Tongzhi, Tongzhi

The level of civilization and science is different now, and there are better ways to deal with the changes in the world. Although the predictions are different, they are still true. In the real environment, we have to face this helplessness and tragedy, and we have to prevent and control disasters from time to time. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to reflect on yourself in the noisy life and return to yourself at the spiritual level, which is a better way to resolve this disaster.

The above is the relevant content of jubao floor's general book in 2022, which is about the sharing of history. I read the all-inclusive encyclopedia, I hope this will help everyone!
