Strange books and strange books

Zhouyi is the earliest divination book in China. With its special system and expression, it laid a solid foundation for the establishment of technical mathematics in China. In the past, many scholars agreed that Zhouyi was born in the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty. Because there are two kinds of divination in the late Shang Dynasty and the early Zhou Dynasty, it can be basically determined that Zhouyi was born after King Zhao of Zhou, or in the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty at the earliest, but never in the late Shang Dynasty.

The eight-eight-sixty-four hexagrams recorded in Zhouyi were produced on the basis of digital hexagrams and painting hexagrams in Shang and Zhou Dynasties. There are two basic symbols in Yi Gua: "-"and "-",which is the first divination book with divination characters found in China so far.

The Zhouyi, which is popular now, consists of two parts. The first part is called the Book of Changes, that is, the Book of Changes itself, including sixty-four hexagrams, hexagrams, hexagrams names, hexagrams words, hexagrams names and hexagrams words. The second part is called Yi Zhuan, which includes ten articles on seven themes, namely Fu, Xiang, Cohesion, Classical Chinese, Divination, Preface and Miscellaneous Gua.

There are three kinds of arrangement order of the sixty-four hexagrams in Zhouyi, one is the order of the current popular version, the other is the order of the eight palaces in Fang Jing Yi Zhuan, and the other is the order of Zhouyi unearthed from the No.3 tomb of Mawangdui in Changsha.

According to the order of Zhouyi, the ancients had a verse:

Gankun Tunmeng needs a litigator. He is better than a small animal.

The same person is modest, willing to follow, and he is eager to see;

Instead of preparing for this, it is better to peel off and restore.

Xianhengdun and Dazhuang, Jin and his family have a panoramic view;

Solve the profit and loss, lift the trapped well;

Gen gradually returned to his sister's rich journey, and he was blessed in the festival.

Too small to help both at the same time, because this is for the next classic.

Luoshu

It is said that there was a three-year-old boy in ancient times who liked watching people play games.

Day after day, one day I read it and blurted it out.

"Isn't this Huturo's book?"

The player invited him to play * * *, and the child replied that it would take three days.

When I got home,

Hang Hutuluo's book on the wall and meditate behind closed doors.

In three days, I will be invincible.

Luo Shu was called Gui Shu in ancient times. It is said that a turtle came to Luoshui, and there is this image on its shell. The structure is that it carries nine shoes, one left, three right, four left, two four shoulders, six eight feet, five centers, five white circles are positive, and four black dots are negative (see figure).

The predecessors pointed out that the number of Luo Shu originally came from the ninth house, and the number of Luo Shu was 45 stars. Nine palaces and eight winds combined with eight winds and eight gossip, and the central palace, namely the Luoshu Palace, is the core of the surrounding eight palaces. The ancients observed the celestial phenomena and thought that the position of Polaris (Taiyi) had always lived in the north, which could be used as the standard for locating the center. According to bucket handle, Jiugong is to find out the brightest stars in nine directions from celestial bodies as a sign, so that bucket handle can find the position and quantity of the nine planets, that is, the position and quantity of Luoshu.

How can you go to the ninth house with the North Pole in the middle? It has been pointed out by predecessors that as the North Pole, it is used for Beidou, and the bucket is the emperor's car. It is said that Beidou is the car of the Arctic Emperor Star, and it is the image of the Arctic Emperor Star riding around the North Pole. If we can infer the meteorological changes at four o'clock and eight days according to the orientation of bucket handle's rotating finger, that is, nine represents different time series.

The number of nine palaces in Luo Shu is odd, called Yang number, and even, called Yin number, called two, four and sixty-eight. Yang number is dominant, ranking fourth, representing the weather; The number of yin is supplemented, and the number of yin is at the four corners, which represents the earth's gas; Secondary five, rustic, the ancestor of the five elements, is in the middle of the palace and sends four directions. From this, we can draw three points: first. The Jiugong in Luoshu was formed by observing Taiyi's car, the Beidou bucket handle, from the four corners of the center. Two. It is pointed out that the nine palaces in Luo Shu are closely related to the changes of Yin and Yang in the Eight Diagrams. Three. This paper expounds the seasonal transformation and meteorological changes of four seasons, eight festivals and twenty-four solar terms caused by "Taiyi entering the palace".

Turtle divination

Divination and divination are two earliest mathematical activities in the history of China. The earliest divination materials in history are Oracle Bone Inscriptions or divination symbols carved on it in Shang and Zhou Dynasties. At that time, before deciding on important matters, people burned tortoise shells or the shoulder blades of cattle, and inferred the good or ill luck of personnel according to the cracks burned. This profession was called turtle divination in ancient times.

The tortoise divination method has been lost for a long time, all because of the evil tortoise divination or the fact that local turtles don't produce turtles. Now only the tortoise divination method is briefly introduced as follows:

1. Choose a turtle.

It's better for the tortoise to be bigger, but not smaller. The best colors are yellow, white, bright and moist, which are not suitable for those who are gloomy and dim, nor for those who are old and withered.

Attack turtles

"The way to attack the tortoise is to remove its armor and keep its wall." There is a straight line from bottom to top in the middle of the tortoise shell, which is called "a thousand miles". There are five horizontal lines, and the blank between the three stripe lines in the middle can be outlined. Oriental A, B, C and Western D, with two walls in the middle, say that waist gold comes first, and those with straight lines above waist gold say that they are soaring to the sky, and whoever only occupies this side will be tested.

Burn the deed

Mix one or two pieces of carbon powder and lead powder with San Qian, and mix them with jujube paste to form a block, which is as thick as a rib and 34 minutes long. It is called Sanyi Pill. The method of burning turtle must be complete in five elements, with water in the bowl, money in it and a ruler on it, and then the turtle shell, with the lettering down and the meat up, burned with Sany Pill.

4. Occupy the tortoise

After burning the turtle, the turtle shell exploded loudly, called turtle language. Then sprinkle water on the lettering place, cracks will inevitably appear, and good or bad luck can be judged according to the transverse and longitudinal directions of the cracks. Then wrap the rope around the crack and provide it with incense. After three days, the cracks will recombine. If there is still sound in the turtle shell within three days, it is still unfinished and must be reoccupied.

5. Zhan Wei

After the tortoise shell was burned, cracks appeared, which were divided into three parts: body, head and feet. As the backbone of things, people who are upright, vigorous, generous and clear are lucky. The first is the beginning of things. Those who are straight are lucky. At the last moment, it's enough. There are dynamic and static, good or bad.

The above is a brief introduction to turtle divination, and there are specific classification methods. Because turtle divination is no longer used, I won't introduce it in detail. Interested people can refer to Biography of Qiuci in Historical Records and Detailed Interpretation of Divination by Xu Hu in the early Qing Dynasty.

Ancient coin occupation

Usually people use the ancient coins of Qianlong period in China. If you don't have ancient coins around, you can also use modern coins for divination. Because divination doesn't care about the quality of money, it needs pious psychological thinking.

Note: Three ancient coins must be the same.

Front: The side marked with monetary value.

Reverse: For the other side.

Ancient Chinese coins: the side marked with Chinese characters is the front.

Prediction method

1, with three ancient coins in your hand, you can only think about what you want, and you can't have distractions.

2. Throw three ancient coins in your hand on the table or the ground six times in a row seriously and devoutly (the table and the ground must be clean), which is divination. Write down several advantages and disadvantages at a time.

3. According to the year, month, day and time of the hexagrams.

Lingqijing

Lingqijing is the only book in China that describes ancient miscellaneous divination completely and systematically, which opens a way for the emergence and development of the most influential signing book in later generations.

Lingqi Classic is divided into two volumes, with a total of 125 hexagrams. Legend has it that Huang Shigong taught Sean. Later, Dong Fangshuo mastered this art and spread it all over the world. Lingqi Classic takes chess as a tool, divination becomes divination, and divination has a slogan. It marks the development of divination in China to a new stage. Before that, China's divination tools were all natural objects with aura, such as tortoise shells, yarrow and bamboo branches. The spirit organ is a spiritual thing created by human beings.

The divination method of Lingqi Jing is extremely simple. The divination tool is a chess piece with three different characters engraved on one side, including twelve * * *, four on the top, four on the middle and four on the bottom, and the non-facet is cymbals. In divination, you only need to throw twelve pieces at random to form hexagrams, and then judge the quality according to the words and notes in the book.

Specific professional procedures of Lingqi Classic;

1. Create mental chess

Twelve pieces are made of thunderbolt or catalpa, jujube and sandalwood, round, four pieces are engraved with characters, four pieces are engraved with Chinese characters, and four pieces are engraved with characters. Jiazi carved chess pieces, wrote Jiaxu day, carved day, filled Zhu day, entered the cabinet day, and Jia Yin's memorial day, which did not occupy June 50.

2. Sacrificial ceremony

Every year, on the seventh day of the first month of the first month, we fast and bathe, spread clean mats on the water's edge, arrange wine and fruit, and pay tribute to it with three glasses of wine. The seventh day of every month is also acceptable.

Step 3 spread your wings

Before the prophecy, wear a crown, burn incense, sit still, calm your mind and hold chess pieces. They say: the sky is clear and the ground is flat, the river is beautiful, a column of incense, ten sides disappear, and the drums are three links, which the gods listen to. "Meditation" Yao, Yao, Yao, Yao, Yao, Yao, Yao, Yao, Yao, Yao, Yao, Yao, Yao, Yao.

Various magic techniques used in fortune telling.

As the saying goes: if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will pass. People who move will bring good luck or bad luck. How can you be lucky or sick? The differences arising from the coordination of time and space are wonderful, free and auspicious; If you don't cooperate well, something bad will happen. Time, auspicious day, good morning. Space, orientation also. The combination of the two, the ancient Taoism also.

The emergence of Taoism has a close relationship with the military, and it has been called the study of emperors since ancient times. Its use has two aspects: first, magic, mainly metaphysics in Taoism, such as evasion, invisibility and smoke screen. , even call the wind and rain. Secondly, it is used to predict when and where to do good and when and where to do bad things.

The way to avoid armour is that armour is the image of the monarch of Taiyi, and it is the first of the ten tasks, and it is often hidden under the Six Instruments (Six Instruments, the Promise of Geng Xin and Gui Ren), so it is called armour avoidance. What I'm afraid of is Geng Jin. Jin Nengke, Geng is the first of the seven evil spirits. B is A's sister, A marries her sister G, and B and G can save A, so B is a surprise. C is the son of A, and C fire can help save A, so C is the second miracle. Ding is Jia's daughter, and she can also save Jia by fighting Geng Jin, so Ding is a three-skill.

The specific application of Taoism is carried out by setting tables and plates. The so-called arrangement and arrangement means arranging eight doors (stopping to hurt Du Jing), nine planets (Tian Peng, Tian Rui, Tian Chong, Tianfu, Tianniao, Tianxin, Tianzhu, Rentian and Tianying) and Jiushen in the Nine Palaces of Luoshu according to different years, seasons and hours, so as to judge the position. The so-called bureau, there are nine Yang dun bureau and nine Yin dun bureau * * * eighteen bureau. Unloading the steel plate is divided into eight steps:

1. Check dry branches during rehearsal.

2. Ding Yang Dun or Yin Dun?

dump rubbish

Arrange the sky board

5. Paijiugong

Arrange eight doors

7. Rank nine planets

8. Dionysus

Tao Te Ching was written in the Zhou Dynasty, and it was constantly revised by military strategists, politicians and experts of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. It is handed down from a secret version, and the text is abstruse and difficult to understand.

Dream interpretation culture

Everyone has to dream, dreams come with them, go with them, and stay with people all their lives. As long as the thinking ability of the human brain is still there, dreams will always exist. Dreams are not expensive *, regardless of age, generation, gender, and Chinese and foreign countries, but the content of dreams is different.

Dreams, like human figures, are both ordinary and mysterious, illusory and real. If the dream is an illusion, the characters and events in the dream are vivid after waking up; If the dream is a true expression, it's hard to find someone exactly like the person in the dream after waking up. Sometimes I think every day that night is a dream; Sometimes what you see in your dreams comes to you every day. At this point, the mystery of dreams has long been known by our ancestors, that is, dream culture has emerged.

Dream culture is an indispensable part of China ancient culture. Although it is difficult to be elegant, it is widely circulated among the people. Duke of Zhou is a book about dreams. In the history of art and mathematics, it is difficult to find the art of dream interpretation. It is listed here because dream culture is very popular among the people, and good or bad luck can be predicted from dreams.

According to the different contents of dreams, the ancients divided dreams into the following fifteen categories:

Straight dream means that whatever you dream will happen, and whoever you dream will see who you are. People's dreams are symbolic, some are hidden, some are explicit, and the latter is direct dreams. If you can't see your friends, dream at night and see you during the day. This is a straight dream.

Like a dream is a dream, which is expressed by symbolic means in the content of the dream. Everything we dream of is expressed by symbolic means. From dreams to heaven, people can't actually go to heaven. Here, heaven is symbolic. Such as heaven symbolizes masculinity, dignity and emperor; The earth symbolizes femininity, motherhood, fertility and so on.

A military attache's dream caused by stimulation in his sleep. "Yin is strong and dreams of floods; Yang Qiang dreams of fire; When you sleep with a belt, you will dream of snakes; When a bird grabs its hair, you will dream of flying. " This is because of dreams.

Dreaming is a dream with intention, and it is the product of inner spiritual activities. The usual saying of "dreaming about the sky" is dreaming.

Dreams caused by mental state are dreams that focus on God and make it close to dreaming.

Sexual dreams are dreams caused by people's different temperaments and likes and dislikes. Sexual dreams are not mainly about the reasons for dreaming, but about the dreamer's attitude towards dreams.

People dreaming of the same dream have different meanings to different people.

Dreams caused by climate factors are dreams. It is because of the external climate that people have some feelings and dreams.

When the dream is at four o'clock, the dream caused by seasonal factors is a time dream. "Spring dreams happen, Xia Meng is brilliant, and autumn and winter dreams are well hidden, which is called a dream."

Anti-dream anti-dream is the opposite dream, with auspicious cathode and fierce anode, which is called anti-dream. In folk dream interpretation, it is often said that dreams are contrary to facts. In ancient books, there are also many records of anti-dreams, and there are also allusions to pipe dreams in idioms. Tang Shen Ji's Book in the Pillow said that Lu Sheng enjoyed all the splendor in his dream, and when he woke up, the steamed pipe rice was not cooked yet, and only ended up with a sieve. It can be seen that anti-dreams occupy a large proportion in people's dreams.

Dreams are also dreams, and such dreams are also recorded in ancient books. People think that gods or ancestors will predict our good luck or bad luck through dreams.

Dreaming means that A's good or bad luck appears in B's dream, and B's good or bad luck appears in A's dream, or induces the same dream in different places. Sending dreams is a dream formed by induction between people.

Turning a dream into a dream means that the content of the dream is changeable and erratic.

Sick dreams are signs of human pathological changes. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is a dream caused by the imbalance of yin and yang and five elements.

Ghost dream is a nightmare, a dream, a terrible dream. Ghost MUBI is a dream caused by incorrect sleeping posture or some pathological changes in the body.

The traditional dream-occupying culture in China is the research result of dreams under the condition of underdeveloped ancient science and technology. The Mystery of the Dream Forest, written during the Chongzhen period in Ming Dynasty, is a masterpiece of study of dreams, which is a rare and precious material for the study of modern study of dreams. The Duke of Zhou, which is widely circulated among the people, is also one of the materials for us to study dreams. Gankun Tiandi is an excerpt from The Mystery of the Dream Forest, which introduces the basic principle of dream interpretation. At the same time, Duke Zhou was adapted into a "good dream and nightmare comparison table" for quick inquiry.
