20 19-04-26 what is heaven and what is earth (100,000 why? )
Gaseous and physical space bodies are what we want to talk about.
(1) How did heaven and earth come into being?
There is a cloud in the Book of Changes: "Wind and thunder meet, fire and water are incompatible, mountains and rivers are ventilated, and Gan Kun succeeds." It tells that there are two completely different homomorphic substances in the universe, which are mixed together under different external forces because of homomorphism, but their essence is different: one is the lazy state of the active substance, and the other is the active state of the lazy substance. This is "the wind and thunder meet", and it is also a record of "chaos" in ancient times or in the Old Testament.
The Book of Changes begins by saying, "Heaven and earth are one, not two". This is telling us that heaven and earth are one thing. For example, if the sky is vaporized water, then the earth is liquid or even solid water ice. They all come from the earth and are essentially one thing. For another example, when thunder and lightning strike, cloud hosting will produce nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and the soil is also rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. So, in essence, heaven and earth can be the same thing. However, the sky exists in a state of lively vaporization, and the earth exists in an inherent state of laziness.
With the passage of time, these two homomorphic substances in the entangled state return to their respective natures, lazy to lazy (water) and lively to lively (fire), which is "fire and water don't shoot each other." (One of the intangible movement modes of tangible substances: birds of a feather flock together), the height (atmosphere) reached by the most active gaseous substances is called "sky", that is, the upper space formed by the most active part of hot gaseous substances coming out of the earth seems to be out of the gravity of the earth, and it is also a huge protective film and protective net around the earth.
In other words, this formed the initial state of the earth. The earth is lazy and the atmosphere is active (the atmosphere here refers to the space above the clouds). With the increase of the density of inert materials, energy will accumulate more and more. When the density reaches a certain level, energy will be converted into "heat energy".
Heat energy will radiate from the inside out. And lazy matter, in the process of heat energy diffusion from the inside out, is driven to be lively and then comes out, which is the spirit of the demon. This warm gas will slowly gush out from the interior of the earth through the uneven land and water surface.
When it meets the compressed and cool atmosphere above, it will condense into clouds. As a result, there is a third state between the atmosphere and the earth-refined gas layer (above the ground and below the clouds).
At this point, we have three states:
1 is the "atmosphere" formed together with the earth;
After the formation of the earth, the "fine gas layer" formed by the warm gas emitted from the interior of the earth; That is what we call the "space" between heaven and earth.
3. High-density solid layer "Earth"; .
Our ancients called the space above the clouds and atmosphere "sky".
The space under the cloud and the earth were called "land" by our ancients.
Recently, I have seen and heard people in China talking about the harmony between man and nature everywhere. It seems that foreigners have begun to talk about it. Knowing that the sky is overhead, the ground is under the feet, and people are standing in the middle is a vivid three-dimensional imagination of the harmony between man and nature. How can we "combine" all three?
(2) How does heaven and earth move?
The emergence of the power of heaven and earth has formed four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The perception in a day is: the temperature difference between waking up early and sleeping late, and everything follows this rhythm.
First of all, because of the participation of the "third party" of the sun. We know that our earth and everything derived from it are wrapped under the protection of the atmosphere. When it rotates, it rotates around the sun. There are three main forces:
1 solar energy and motion mode force
2. Thermal energy and motion patterns in the Earth's interior
And that gravitational pull of the earth and the sun and the resultant force of other star.
These three forces we ancient people called:
Tianyang: kinetic energy from the sun and the stars in the universe (the motion mode that bears this energy is called Sanyang)
Yang Di: Kinetic energy from the interior of the earth (the way of movement that undertakes this energy is called Yin San).
In ancient times, whether in Huangdi Neijing or Treatise on Febrile Diseases, we were studying the interaction of three yang and three yin, as well as our relationship and influence with everything.
The great movement pattern between heaven and earth begins with the sun that has a direct force on the earth.
When the sun moves from the tropic of Capricorn to the north, over the northern hemisphere, the sun's irradiation will make the atmosphere expand, and the atmosphere will expand, which will compress the fine gas layer (mixed layer) in our life and make it shrink and sink. The atmosphere will expand and compress the fine gas layer (mixed layer), and the mixed layer will be compressed or even occupied by the chill, and the temperature will turn from hot to cold, from summer solstice to winter solstice, so the earth will begin to enter autumn and winter. Therefore, everything between the atmosphere and the earth enters the three yang (shaoyang, Yangming and sun) mode, and energy from the sky and the universe enters everything.
When the sun is far away from the tropic of Capricorn, and in the northern hemisphere, the atmosphere is gradually away from the sun. Without the direct irradiation and heating of the sun, the atmosphere shrinks, the mixed layer space is released, the earth releases heat energy, everything begins to grow and develop, the temperature changes from cold to hot, "the sky (below clouds)" is released, and the volume gradually becomes larger. From the solstice of winter to the solstice of summer, the northern hemisphere begins to enter spring and summer, and everything stretches, grows and germinates, and enters Yin San.
Within a year, heaven and earth interact mutually, you enter and I retreat, and you retreat and I enter. Under the irradiation of the sun, the volume of the atmosphere will expand, and when the sun is not irradiated, it will shrink again. This constant expansion and contraction changes, resulting in changes throughout the year and changes in day and night. This cycle forms the alternation of the four seasons. The four seasons are like this, and so are the days and nights. This is the most basic frame of movement used by the ancients to feel and summarize the nature of being the same as everything in the world. This change of heaven and earth is like pushing hands in Tai Chi. There is a very vivid saying in Taoism called "Yin and Yang Fish"
The interaction between the sun and the earth is mainly used in the medium-density asthenosphere (mixed layer), which is the carrier of all life, and the representation in the asthenosphere is "rain, snow, wind, frost, fog and dew"
The appearance of one thing: just like a silkworm baby spinning silk, the silkworm baby spits out the damp heat in the body and condenses into silk when it meets the low temperature environment outside the body. Therefore, everything becomes everything because there must be an action from the sun to solidify this sticky essence pushed out by the sun. By extension, a person, a tree and an animal are all carriers of the energy of the sun and the earth.
Therefore, in our twenty-four solar terms and seventy-two climaxes, it is the expression and representation of weather, weather, sun and earth at all times, and the dynamics of phenology is the expression of the game between warm terrestrial essence and cold atmosphere.
How do animals and plants behave when the weather is bad?
For example, on the day of summer solstice, the antlers dissolved, and on the fifth day, Pinellia ternata was born: on the day of summer solstice, the atmosphere began to expand, oppressing the essence of the earth. The sika deer in Mao Mao is warm and dense, so it is endowed with high-density heating in the local atmosphere. At this time, the geogas is suppressed by the atmosphere, and the rising geogas is weak. If the antlers can't get this force, they will naturally leave.
On the fifth day, the bream began to sing. When the cold air in the front of the atmosphere cools down, snapper becomes cold. After gaining this power at the height of the tree, it will call more forcefully.
Pinellia ternata was born on the fifth day, and the lower end with the densest geoqi and geoessence was pressed back to the surface. Pinellia ternata is also relatively thick, so it is easy to get. At this time, high-density rhizomes grow better.
Such as light snow: on the day of light snow, the rainbow disappears, the weather rises on the fifth day, the atmosphere drops, and the fifth day is blocked, making it winter. The rainbow here is the rainbow we see, and the colors of the rainbow represent the different densities of the atmosphere. After the light snow, the geogas is pressed to a place close to the surface, so we can't see the geogas appearing in the high places. When the weather rises, the geogas drops, that is, when the weather front reaches the surface, it will be bounced back by the strong geogas squeezed by the surface. Next time, the geogas will be completely pressed back to the surface, that is, it will be blocked into winter and will completely return to the surface.
The whole 24 solar terms and 72 climaxes all show the changing state of weather and atmosphere through phenology.
Following the rhythm and way of the operation of heaven and earth is what we often call the "combination" of heaven and man.
