Fuxi Bagua was revised by Zhou Wenwang. Why are you doing this?

Fuxi created the Eight Diagrams, also called innate gossip. At that time, there were no words, and Fuxi lived in ancient times. King Wen discovered the gossip created by Fuxi in the Middle Ages, that is, the Shang Dynasty, when he was in prison in Zhou Wenwang. It was very interesting and magical, including everything in the world. So he wrote the words and rearranged the order. "As for why Wang Wen rearranged the gossip, it is said that Wang Wen joined his political thoughts at that time, which means he was anti-business" and wrote the Book of Changes.

The Book of Changes spread to modern times, that is, the time when Confucius lived. Confucius annotated the Book of Changes in classical Chinese. The Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes were created by the three of them, so they are also called "three saints" and "three ancient". That is to say, the gossip in the Book of Changes came into being after the Three Ancient Dynasties.

Why did King Wen modify Fuxi and innate gossip? Let's start with innate gossip. Fuxi era thought that' heaven and earth are all up and down', that is, the sky is above and the earth is below. The sky moves and the earth is quiet, that is, the movement is yang and the static is yin. The hexagrams are composed of'-'for yang'-'for yin, the stems are composed of three yang, and Kun is composed of three yin. Therefore, innate gossip regards gan as the heaven above and Kun as the place below. Innate gossip treats heaven and earth (heaven and earth, men and women). As the saying goes,' Qi will eventually change' means that when things come to an end (extreme), they will change to the opposite side, so it is cloudy in summer and yang in winter, which is particularly philosophical.

Gossip is divided into several days, and the gossip the day after tomorrow is also called Wang Wen's gossip, that is, the earthquake map is the starting point and ranks in the east. Clockwise, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui, Gan and Kan (due north); Root melon in northeast China. As a symbol of solar terms, the earthquake is the vernal equinox, Xun is the long summer, it is midsummer, Kun is beginning of autumn, it is the autumnal equinox, Gan is beginning of winter, beginning of winter is beginning of spring. The ordinal numbers are: Kanyi, Kuner, Zhensan, Xunsi, Wuzhonggong, Liu Gan, Duihui, Geba and Li Jiu.
