Cultural explanation: What does Sanyang Kaitai mean?

From ancient times to the present, China has always paid attention to etiquette. Today, the word national cultural etiquette still runs through all aspects of our lives. In ancient times, great attention was paid to etiquette from many words used to wish things well. Sanyang Kaitai to be introduced today is one of them.

With the arrival of spring, prosperity begins-the new year indicates prosperity.

According to the Book of Changes, the winter solstice is "the first sun is born", December is "the second sun is born" and the first month is "the third sun opens Thailand". "Three yang" means that the yin gradually disappears, the yang gradually grows, winter goes and spring comes, and everything recovers. "Kaitai" means good luck and prosperity, which means good luck is coming. The rise of human yang has a similar gradual process, and human health is called "three yang qi tai", that is, exercise must yang, be good at yang, and enjoy yang.

In ancient China, Yang was homophonic with sheep, and sheep was Yang. Literally, "three suns" is interpreted as three suns, namely the early sun, the positive sun and the late sun. Chaoyang is bright, and its platform is bright; Zhengyang Zhongtian, whose platform is Xuan Lang; The setting sun is brilliant, and its platform shoots. They are all full of energy.

What does "Three Yang Kaitai" mean?

Every hexagram in Zhouyi consists of six yang hexagrams or yin hexagrams. The first hexagram is yang hexagram, and the second hexagram is yin hexagram. Complex divination represents the November of the lunar calendar.

The winter solstice in November of the lunar calendar is a turning point from extreme yin to yang, so the combination of yin and yang is very vivid: there is only one yang in the complex divination position on the earth, which means that it is a state of "winter solstice and one sun". Before the winter solstice in November, the Kungua, which represents October, was the six hexagrams. Then when I repeat divination, I turn to Yang again, just like from the deep sleep of the earth, a ray of Yang first appears and another Yang begins.

Since winter, although the nature is still dominated by yin, the yang has begun to sprout, so it is also called "winter returns to the yang". After divination, it represents November, and the yang is deep and eager to try. The second hexagram changes from yin to yang, while only one hexagram brings yang. In this divination, it is obvious that there is a little more sun on the earth, which is an improvement compared with the conversion of cathode to sun in winter.

When the spirit of the sun grows again and spring breaks out again, it will be the Spring Festival of the first month, so the Thai hexagram represents the first month of the lunar calendar.

There are three species of Yang and Yin San, and the balance of Yin and Yang is good.

Three yang hexagram represents dry, that is, heaven, and three yin hexagram represents Kun, that is, earth.
