Zhouyi

"Department of Rhetoric" up and down the chapter is divided into twelve chapters, Kong Yingda, "I Ching justice" and Zhu Xi, "I Ching Benyi" of the statement is more justified, according to its own words. The first seven chapters of the first chapter are all general essays, interpreting the I Ching from different perspectives. Such as the beginning: ? Heaven and earth, Qiankun fixed. High and low to Chen, noble and low position. The movement of the static is constant, just and soft breaks. Is the understanding and interpretation of the overall spirit of the I Ching. To wit: the sky is high and honorable, the earth is low and low, the position of Qiankun will be determined. Once the low and lofty positions are revealed in turn, things are in their place. The movement of the sky and the earth's static has a certain law, the nature of the masculine and feminine will be clearly distinguishable. This is an explanation of the origin of the I Ching and an understanding of the connection between nature and human activities. The opening sentences of the second chapter say: ? The sages set the trigrams to observe the image, the system of rhetoric and clear luck and misfortune, just and soft to push the changes. The sages set up gossip to observe the changes in heaven and earth to observe the changes in all things, set up on the trigrams rhetoric to explain the good and bad luck, with the yin lines and yang lines to push each other to change and produce changes. It is a further explanation of the gossip as well as the use.

The second chapter of the next chapter of the Department of Rhetoric said: "The ancient Bao Xi's king of the world. Ancient Bao Xi's king of the world, also, up to look at the image in the sky, down to look at the law in the ground, look at the birds and beasts of the text, and the ground of the appropriate, close to the body, and far from all things, in the beginning of the eight gossip, in order to pass the gods of Germany, in order to class the feelings of all things. This text is to explain how the gossip is generated, is the study of the I Ching's opening words, was repeatedly quoted by later generations, many people are familiar with. If one were to fully consider writing an article on the Yijing or a general treatise on it, it should be the opening phrase of the "Departmental Remarks" and should not appear in the second chapter of the next book. Therefore, I used to feel that "The Biography of the Departmental Remarks" was written by Confucius when he was reading the Book of Changes. The disciples did not dare to mobilize the position and keep the original appearance when transmitting the biography, hence the situation.

The I Ching? Ten Wings? was passed down from Confucius to his disciple Shang Qu, and then passed down from generation to generation. Unlike the Analects of Confucius, the Analects of Confucius was compiled collectively by the disciples, so the disciples had I thought in the ? Ten Wings? were the words of Confucius passed down directly by the disciples, who did not dare to change them at will. Therefore, I say that the "Department of Rhetoric" is not a general theory, but rather Confucius read the I Ching of the random record.

New wine in old bottles?

Confucius once said he was ? He penciled the Spring and Autumn Annals, which was actually revised on the basis of the original history book of Lu, the so-called ? The pen is penciled and chipped, and the so-called ? While for the Yi, he used the way of writing his own feelings as well as opinions without modifying the original text. Or general, or sub-talk, with the help of trigrams and lines to express their views on the universe, heaven and earth, human social relations, in the originally dry symbol system into the human life and ethics and other vivid and rich content, so that we see the figure of man.

The eighth chapter of "The Biography of the Department of Rhetoric" is basically a record of Confucius's interpretation of some individual lines, such as: ? The same person, first bawled and then laughed.? Zi said: ? The way of the gentleman, or out or in, or silent or speech, two people with the same heart, its profit breaks the gold; the words of the same heart, its odor like orchids.? The previous statement? The same person? The lines of the trigrams? First bawl and then laugh? , Confucius explained to this line that the gentleman treats people with reason, sometimes you can travel, sometimes you can live in peace, sometimes you can keep silent, sometimes you can talk about the wind. Two people are of one mind, like a sharp blade can cut iron like mud, two people have the same ideal of will, the words spoken as fragrant and fragrant as orchids. Emphasize the importance of working together. We often use ? Two people of one mind, its benefits break gold; the words of one mind, its odor like orchids? This idiom, but do not pay much attention to this is the words of Confucius.

? Laokian, the gentleman has the end, auspicious.? Zi said: ? Labor but not伐, have merit but not virtue, thick of the most also, the language to its merit under the people also. The word "virtue" means "prosperity," the word "ritual" means "respect," and the word "humble" means "to respect in order to save its position. The previous words are? Humble Gua? The previous words are the lines of "Humble Gua" (谦卦). This line should be the original existence, is earlier than the language of Confucius, followed by Confucius on the interpretation of this line. It says to the effect that it is a sign of extreme generosity to be industrious without boasting, to be meritorious without taking credit for it, and not to think of oneself as beneficent, the practice of shifting one's own merits to one's inferiors. Morality should be high, and courtesy should be humble. The meaning of humility is precisely to preserve one's own virtues and merits in a respectful manner. Confucius' interpretation enriches the original lines, humanizes them more, and adds to the pleasure of our reading.

At the end of the full text of the Lineage Chuan are these words: ? The person who will be rebellious, his speech is ashamed, the center of the doubt, his speech is branch, the words of the auspicious people are few, the words of the manic people are many, the words of the people who falsely say good things, the words of the tour, the words of the person who loses his guard, the words of the wrong. The translation is: ? The man who is about to defect has shame in his words; the man who has doubts in his heart has his words squeak and whimper and seem to branch out; the gentleman is concise in his speech; the man who is agitated and aggressive has many words; the man who slanders a good man has his words wander and ramble; and the man who has lost his integrity and defected has his words twisted and curved. The very deep life experience and rich human flavor into the interpretation of the I Ching trigrams and lines, which is the key to the I Ching was valued and passed down.

Zhou Yi read (3)

Previously, I had only heard of Zhou Yi, some people say that it is used to tell fortunes, and some say that the invention of computers is due to the idea of Zhou Yi, anyway, in my mind, Zhou Yi is esoteric, it is very profound learning. Recently, I listened to a wonderful explanation of "Zhouyi", and I was y touched, and I have a preliminary understanding of "Zhouyi".

"Zhouyi" is indeed the foundation of traditional Chinese culture, "the way of the Yi Dao is vast and all-encompassing," he said. Yi Dao vast, all-encompassing, beside astronomy, geography, music, military law, rhyme, arithmetic, to catch the fire outside the square, all can aid easy to say? The philosophical thinking in Zhou Yi can also inspire people. The philosophy of Zhouyi is also very inspiring. The philosophy of Zhouyi is also very inspiring. The cause of happiness and misfortune is the same as the cause of death. The idea of "too much rigidity will be broken, and softness will help rigidity" is a philosophical idea that I have read a lot. I have read a lot of philosophical ideas, especially the? The reason for the disaster and happiness is the cause of it. The first thing I've noticed is that I'm not sure what I'm talking about, but I'm not sure what I'm talking about.

At the end of last year, my friend had a drunk driving accident that killed a man, and was criminally detained, and then compensated for more than 20 million dollars to avoid imprisonment. After the accident, my friend often blamed himself, closed the door. But after a number of friends advised, the road of life is long, after encountering setbacks should also be uplifted, can not be down, my friend only gradually out of this gray days, but the impact of this matter may be a lifetime is also very difficult to forget.

As embodied in Zhou Yi?

As reflected in the Zhou Yi? The idea of "good times come with good fortune" is also reflected in Zhou Yi. The fact is that when you are in a difficult situation, you may not be able to cope with it. My friend usually made this mistake, people live too well, too smooth, failed to think of danger in times of peace and security, and as a result, there was such an accident, which was extremely traumatic for both the person and the person. When my friend was in a difficult situation, he was discouraged at first. At this time, he should also understand the concept of "Zhouyi", which says that the cause of misfortune and happiness is the same as the cause of death. At this point, he should understand the philosophy of Zhou Yi, which states that "misfortune and happiness are related to each other". At this time, we should understand the philosophical thinking of "Zhou Yi", and we should have hope for the future, and we should not be discouraged. The old man lost his mare, but it was a blessing in disguise.

If my friend can remember the lesson in the future life path, maybe there will be a better life.

"Zhou Yi" is indeed a heavenly book, esoteric and difficult to understand, but comprehend the idea of doing things, will be lifelong benefit. Learn by heart, understand by heart, from the "Zhou Yi" to find the truth of life, with the "Zhou Yi" philosophical thinking to guide life and work, the road of life may be much flatter. I will learn more about Zhouyi in the future, and I hope more people will understand Zhouyi.

There is a copy of the book "Zhou Yi" at home, and I can't help but be fascinated by it when I have nothing to do and read it casually.

At least 6000 years ago, our ancestor Fuxi's can be formed on the basis of the natural numbers of the river map such a cosmic pattern, and this model can be and astronomy, geography and calendar medical integration, his original genius let me incomparable admiration, I repeatedly pondered Fuxi original thinking, trying to enter his state.

Read "Zhou Yi", the first experience is that the Chinese people in ancient times immense respect for philosophers, such as Fuxi, he saw the Yellow River, the dragon horse negative river map jumped out of the water, so he realized? He then realized the mathematical model of the universe. The mathematical model of the universe. If this legend is true, then Fuxi was in a state of mental illness, which may have been temporary, caused by his hard thinking, and he had hallucinations. This kind of psychopath our ancestors respected him as an ancestor because he originated a mathematical model of the universe, and so did Dayu, who, on the basis of his epiphany to Luoshu, understood the truth of phases and used this philosophy to cure the great flood, and our ancestors respected him as a patriarch.

Read "Zhouyi", the second experience is how to establish their own model of the universe, not on the basis of the philosophy of the previous generation, philosophy has exclusivity, the establishment of their own model of the universe on the basis of the philosophy of the previous generation is unlikely to succeed, the study of the philosophical thinking of the previous generation, drawing on how he was philosophical original method of work is only at this point in time, is only a philosophical workers and enthusiasts, only. The real philosophers must have their own original model of the universe, Fuxi and Dayu created the Hetu Luoshu model of the universe on the basis of natural numbers, and this event inspired us to abstract and integrate modern mathematics and natural sciences as a path to build their own model of the universe.

Zhouyi (5)

The Six Towers? Three Strategies" says: ? Spring Road is born, all things glorious; summer Road long, all things become; fall Road convergence, all things surplus; all things seek. Born in the four seasons, the earth gives birth to all things, there are people in the world, and the benevolent saint shepherds them.

Changes in the heavens are closely related to changes in human society. The four seasons are repeated, just as the world is a rule of chaos; day and night, morning and evening alternation, like the regime with a volt. People's lives, like the tide has ups and downs; the sadness and joy of the world and clutch, just like the moon's yin and ying and yin and yang, the grass wither grass grows, the country together and the country divided; a surplus and a void, a yin and a yang. People are a part of nature, the human world is the embodiment of nature, this idea in the book of "Zhou Yi" has been centrally embodied. When you read a few pages of "Zhou Yi", you will be y attracted by the reasoning, for the wisdom of the Chinese ancient people and issued a heartfelt admiration.

Zhou Yi said: ? Qian Dao changes, each in the life, Paul and Taihe, is the Li Ching. The first out of the common people, all the countries are peaceful. The role of the qi of qian yang is endless, can make all the things each correct attributes and life expectancy, to maintain the peace of the qi, in order to reflect the righteousness of the road. The qi of qian-yang overrides all things and makes the world appear peaceful. When the sunlight is strong at noon, flowers, plants and trees are stretching their branches, and the green leaves are trying to carry out photosynthesis, and everywhere is full of vitality. At night, when the stars and the moon are in the sky, the branches and leaves are converged. At this time, day is Yang, night is Yin. Human society is the same, when the politics is clear, the ruler and ministers diligently when the wise, the people are rich, all the way to Xianning, the four oceans. When the political darkness, sycophants, when the burning of books, thieves and swarming, the people are suffering, warlords. At this time, the rule is Yang, chaos is Yin.

It is this idea that Zhou Yi conveys to us. The essence of Zhou Yi is also in these ideas. When ruling, do not be too complacent, because the summer is coming, the fall will not be far away; chaos, do not be too pessimistic, because the winter is here, the spring will not be far away. Even more, one need not fear death; death is something no one can escape. Just like the fruit ripe will fall, clear sky for a long time will rain, there is nothing to fear, everything is to follow the laws of nature in the normal operation.

"Zhou Yi" let us understand a lot. In the world, everything should follow the laws of nature. In line with nature, is worth promoting; against nature, is not desirable. Nowadays, human beings are trying to conquer nature and transform it. Humans think that technology has been very advanced, seems to be able to compete with nature. But human beings do not realize that in front of nature, human beings are always childish children, once nature retaliated against human beings, the disaster will be devastating.

To read "Zhou Yi" is to understand the relationship between nature and human beings. We actively study Zhouyi and promote its broad spirit, not only to show the world the wisdom of the Chinese ancients, but also for the future peace and happiness of mankind. Therefore, I think it is very meaningful to quietly and seriously study and research the Zhouyi!

Zhou Yi read (6)

In the modern development of science and technology today, the feudal system in the abolition, but there is a culture is the opposite of the trend of the times I Ching culture, with the progress of the modern people's thinking, began to explore the spiritual food left behind by the old ancestors. Zhu Xi said: do not know easy, no learning. Laozi get easy body, Mengzi's easy to use. But for this book of philosophical thinking concentrated on behalf of China's ancient times, we still have too many questions, if there is no Mr. Tsang's guidance, I may not be able to body, but also no use.

First of all, I clarified many years in the heart of the misunderstanding, before, always thought that the I Ching is used to fortune-telling, but Mr. Tsang gave me a very good explanation: I Ching in the words just to give you a reference to use, and is not counting your right and wrong fortune. The fortune-telling is always the same: when it is true, it is false. Sometimes they are not trustworthy. Calculated out of the Divine to give you a reference tool, with or without are available, according to their own personal environment to use just.

The I Ching tells us that there is a yin and a yang in everything, and this is true in the world, as well as in thinking. The so-called yin and yang is the relative positive and negative sides, you can not too yin, nor can the sun. You can't be too yin, nor can you be too sunny, because the opposite is true, and everything is about balance. Everything is both opposites and unity, each other and interchangeable.

Mr. Zeng said that the significance of learning the I Ching is to correct the specious concepts, the second is a mystical morality and the third is to seek common ground while reserving differences. What is Tao? Dao is the law of nature, everything is in the natural law of growth and maturity, and I Ching is based on the natural development of a set of systems, so now we have good and evil, beauty and ugliness, only in the natural to compare is the most appropriate.

Mr. Zeng talked about the three talents of heaven, earth, and man. In Yi Chuan, there is a picture of the three talents, the upper sun is the sky, the lower yin is the earth, and the human being is between the sky and the earth and the yin and the yang, and the border of the image is round, so it is also called the unity of the sky and the human being, which means that the human being and the universe are in harmony with each other.

The system of rhetoric has spoken of the changes in the eight trigrams: the eight trigrams into the column, the elephant in which carry on. Just and soft push each other, change in which carry on. Meaning: gossip into an array, everything in heaven and earth in which the change; gossip overlap into 64 hexagrams, three hundred and eighty-four hexagrams will be all in which; just lines of soft lines recursive push, the reason for change will be all in which. From this, we can see how vast Zhou Yi and its deep fear of philosophical thinking.

However, Mr. Tsang also said that each person only speak to a part of it, it is difficult to speak it all, so to study the I Ching must be more broadly inclusive, to respect each other above just a little bit of new and insights, not perfect. Not to mention the I Ching also want to people more three saints, the world three ancient it, at the moment their own feelings and what can be counted? It's not just a show of shame.

A chance encounter with the "Zhou Yi". Twenty years ago, an article said that the Chinese "Zhouyi", is the father of binary, if there is no "Zhouyi", the computer may have to be invented many years later. I was doing radio work, and binary was the basis of numerical control. In my knowledge, at that time, just listen to some old people said "Zhouyi" this book, understand that "Zhouyi" should be the book of fortune-telling, how can also be linked with the computer, binary? So, I looked for a book of "Zhouyi" to read. The relationship between Zhouyi and binary is very simple and immediately understood.

However, there are a lot of wonders and very deep philosophies that I still do not understand. In order to understand, and then read a lot of versions of "Zhouyi", although not too deep understanding, but because of reading many years, there are some points of experience, recorded here for everyone to share.

"Zhouyi" in the end what is a book, the world are studying and discussing. This book covers everything, astronomy, history, military, philosophy and so on are involved, as we now also have many people in the study of "Dream of the Red Chamber", the world view is different, resulting in different research results. I am not an expert in this area, I can not talk about research, but the text and philosophy of the book, I think it is very worthwhile for us to look and play.

Ancient people say: do not read the "Zhou Yi", can not be a general, this has its own certain reason and basis. Throughout our history, several famous strategists, such as Jiang Ziya, Zhang Liang, Zhu Geliang, including the modern great man - Mao Zedong, these people have a very deep research and attainments of the "Zhou Yi".

I read "Zhouyi", although I did not understand what, but also realized that some of the reason for people. Like the book of the first hexagram, ? Qian? Gua, Qian for the sky, said the gentleman to emulate the virtues of the sky to? Self-improvement? This is to warn us to do anything, we have to start to finish, do not give up halfway; also said? Do not use the submerged dragon? is to say that everything should not be strong head, can do it, can do it, can not do, do not do it, the common interpretation is that the gun is a big head;? Kun? Gua, Kun for the ground, is to emulate the virtues of the earth? Virtue? This is to teach us to be broad-minded, not calculating;? Heng? Gua, Confucius said in the Department of rhetoric? The way of husband and wife, can not be soon, so teach the constant? This is to teach us to know, how to do a good couple, the formation of husband and wife, we have to persevere? Heng? The way of the husband and wife is to be formed with perseverance. Copulate? The hexagram of a woman serving five husbands is about a woman's lechery, so that we should not marry this woman. Do not marry this woman. And? The idiom of "The extreme is the future" is also derived from the idiom of "The extreme is the future". This idiom, also comes from the origin of the "Zhouyi"; "Zhouyi" has? No Gua? and? Tai? Gua, is to say that things in the world? Can't end up in denial? When they reach a certain point, they must be transformed to the good side. Yin pole will be reversed, Yang pole will come? The reason is to tell us, anything as long as perseverance, there is hope for success; this is also in line with Marxist philosophical thinking, the quantitative change of things, it is necessary to achieve qualitative change. For people or do things, we have to master? Degree? The meaning of all things do not over? degree? The most important thing is that we should not overdo it. The degree of? After that, it must cause changes in the opposite direction.

In the book Zhouyi, the whole book runs through a ? The concept of "bit? concept. In particular, Confucius's system of words for this book, which is the first of its kind in the world, is a concept of "bit". The main point is that the relationship between heaven and earth is very important, and the relationship between heaven and earth is very important. The main point is that heaven is superior to earth, and the king has the right to be a ruler. The ruler has a ruler's position. position, and the minister has the minister's position. The king has a king's position and the minister has a minister's position. including each of the trigrams. The relationship between the two is the same as that between the two. The relationship between the two. Although this is the feudalism that we criticize, but in today's society, every moment, everywhere there is a relationship between the "bit" and the "bit", and there is a relationship between the "bit" and the "bit". The bit? The demand for a place in the world is everywhere and at all times. It is said that a person should be in a position of honor. The word "position" is used to describe a person's position in the world. Not to transgress the boundaries of one's position. The word "position" means to say what should be said and to do what should be done. The first thing to say is to say, to do to do, should not say never say nonsense, should not do never do, then it will be counterproductive. This is a very critical part of what we do and how we do it.

If someone sees "Zhouyi" purely as a book of fortune-telling, I think it is very wrong. Yes, Zhouyi deals with fortune-telling, but fortune-telling, or prediction, is a very small aspect of the book. I'm not against fortune telling, but you can't believe in all of it as a human being. Now sometimes I also count to play, that is on something, indecisive or very confused when I count myself, when the trigrams say very, I will be doubly confident to go to the things done, when the calculation is not good, I have to calmly consider the process of things and the results of the rational or to go to the end of the matter. Don't think that when the math is not good, then don't do things, that's not right. There are many things that we are ? valuable to participate? , in the process of participation, we can also learn a lot of things.
