The total source of traditional Chinese culture is none other than the three main texts: the Analects, the Tao Te Ching, and the I Ching. And the ideas of the Analects and the Tao Te Ching are actually derived from the I Ching. The earliest text found in China is the oracle bone inscriptions. And what is recorded in the oracle bone inscriptions are almost all words of divination. And the I Ching is a book of divination. The I Ching was written before Confucius and Lao Zi, so we can see that both Confucius and Lao Zi's ideas of being the most divine and the most holy benefited from the inspiration of the I Ching. For example, Confucius once said: lend me a few years, fifty and learn easy, can not be a great fault! Therefore, to talk about traditional Chinese culture, the I Ching alone will do.
The Classic, is the meaning of the classics, everyone must learn, everyone must be able to, the unchanging doctrine theory, is the classic. Then, what is "easy"? Easy, between the sun and the moon is also said! The word "easy" is the word "sun" above, and the word "moon" below. The sun and the moon alternate, the yin and the yang rotate, and this is "Yi". The I Ching is also known as "Zhou Yi", which means "easy to move from week to week". The truth of the I Ching is that everything in the world is two-sided, contradictory, but interdependent **** the same body. All are in motion, all have changes. These changes, at the same time, have a cyclical pattern. When the day is over, it is night that comes; when winter is over, it is inevitable that spring will come. In this way there is movement from week to week.
The "day," or daytime, is represented by "yang," and the "moon," or night, by "yin. The "day" or daytime is represented by "yang"; the "month" or night is represented by "yin"; and both yin and yang are regarded as one and the same ****. In other words, think of anything in the world as containing both yin and yang at the same time. There is a sun and a moon at the same time; there is a day and a night at the same time. A day plus a night makes a day. There is a man and a woman at the same time; there is an adult and a child at the same time. A man and a woman, a few old ones and a few young ones, make a family. This is true of natural phenomena and human beings, as well as of other living things: animals have males and females; plants have male and female flowers. Things are hard and soft at the same time; there is an exterior and a core at the same time; if there are advantages, there must be disadvantages; if there are gains, there must be losses. The ancients created the doctrine of yin and yang based on such a simple natural law and social phenomenon. All that is bright, masculine, minority, above, exterior, and exposed is categorized as yang; and all that is dark, soft, majority, below, kernel, and hidden is categorized as yin.
Yin and Yang are interdependent and intertransformative, a ****similarity of opposites and unity. If you use a simple graph to represent the yin and yang words, the most appropriate image than our country's Tai Chi diagram. I use in the forum avatar, is the Tai Chi diagram, you can take a closer look. The two fish-like figures in the Tai Chi diagram, one white and one black, are known as the yin and yang fish. Tai Chi diagram and its yin and yang fish shows the characteristics of yin and yang or contains the following:
First, the yin and yang must be both, only a **** the same body:
The day must be combined with the night, the sun must be combined with the rain, in order to be suitable for the survival of living creatures; men must be combined with the woman, the seed must be combined with the soil, in order to make human beings reproduce endlessly. No matter what you engage in, detached from this principle, that is absolutely unworkable. The modern technological invention of electricity must have both a fire wire and a zero wire in order to be successful. A country must be protected by soldiers who represent the masculine, and at the same time, it must be ruled by literati who represent the feminine. Such a country can prosper and have long-lasting peace.
Military alone: the front battlefield and is Yang, underground intelligence work is Yin. If only the courage to attack and fight, but no underground intelligence work as a support, then, at best, the troops just lucky to win, and ultimately will be difficult to escape the fate of destruction. The real gun fight is the yang, disintegrate the enemy's military heart is the yin. If you don't fight and give up the enemy, this is the best strategy of the army. However, if you can only play lipservice, they do not have the force to do the backing, then, touch the unreasonable enemy, can only be their own demise. Therefore, the military should also be a combination of yin and yang.
This throughout the entire Chinese history and culture, including politics, economics, literature, military, agriculture, medicine, forecasting, habitat science, etc., are widely used the theory of yin and yang, since it is the cultivation of the body, the family, the country, the world's treasures, then, as an individual's cultivation of the body, how to make use of the treasures of the family?
Ancient coins are just a square in a circle. Round represents the sky, square represents the earth, the sky is yang on the outside, and the earth is yin on the inside. The outside is yang, so to be a man you have to be round on the outside; the inside is yin, so to be a man you have to be square on the inside. If the yin and yang are reversed, and squareness is put on the outside, then it is easy to stab people with angles. If the inner unruly not upright, then, will attract other people hate, will lose trust, until they are spurned. The ancient art of mastery, but also to pay attention to the combination of yin and yang. Therefore, it is required to do just and soft, grace and power.
Secondly, yin and yang are rooted in each other and are interdependent:
Yin and yang, both use each other as the basis for their own survival. Without yin, there can be no yang. Similarly, without Yang, there can be no Yin. Without stillness, there can be no movement; without down, there can be no up.
Closing the country's doors is yin, opening the country's doors is yang. Closed windows are yin, open windows are yang. Therefore, reform and opening up is absolutely correct and indisputable. Because opening the window is better than not opening the window, the reason is so simple. However, focusing only on exporting foreign exchange without focusing on technological innovation in domestic production is pure yang without yin. In the country is not honest, substandard, fake, adulteration, but out of the country others do not recognize, this is only focus on adulteration of the conspiracy, but not focus on international conventions and international standards of the yang conspiracy, which is pure yin without yang caused by the evil consequences.
National managers for the Yang, the people will be Yin. It is not possible to have only the management without the people, and it is not possible to have only the people without the management. How democratic you are, you have to elect a leader. Similarly, if you only care about the enjoyment of officials, without regard to the people's lives, it can only be digging their own graves. For it will not do to have day without night, nor will it do to have sunshine without rain. It is absolutely not possible to ask the land for fertilizers without replenishing the land! Therefore, China's ancient philosophical theory has long been under such a law: "Pure Yin does not grow, pure Yang does not grow"!
The I Ching has one of the most auspicious trigrams, which is the "earth and sky Tai" trigram. The hexagram of Tai is shown below:
- - A horizontal line with a break in the center is called a yin line; a horizontal line that is connected and not broken is called a yang line.
- - Total **** six lines, divided into two hexagrams. The upper three lines form a hexagram, called "Kun" hexagram.
- - "Kun" hexagram represents the earth, represents the lower, represents the people, represents the masses.
--- The following three yang lines form a hexagram called Qian Gua. It represents the sky, the top, and the officials.
---The combination of the two single hexagrams above and below is the compound hexagram. The name of the compound hexagram is then called the Earth-Tian-Tai hexagram.
---Drawing six lines is from the bottom to the top. This line is the first line. The three yang lines are at the bottom and are called Triple Yang Kai Tai.
This "Earth-Tian-Tai" hexagram reveals to us the mystery that the earth is rising, the weather is falling, heaven and earth are blending and interconnecting, so that it is a symbol of good fortune and harmony in all things.
Officials should go down to the people to understand the plight of the people, the people's public opinion to be able to reach up, the officials and the people as one family, which is harmonious, prosperous and strong country. Everything to the people as the master, the people held on the top, and officials are willing to be students in the lower listening, so that the country, in order to be at ease, stable as a rock. If, on the contrary, the sky is high above and does not descend sunshine and rain to the earth, and the earth does not rise to communicate with the sky, crops can not grow and human beings can not survive. This hexagram is "Heaven and Earth No" hexagram. No (pi), is the meaning of blockage.
This is the I Ching that people bent on democracy oppose! This is the feudal superstition denounced by those who have been poisoned by the Cultural Revolution and are still unable to wake up! Pathetic! Pathetic! To criticize something you know nothing about and to condemn something you don't understand on the basis of your own subjective assumptions, this can only be caused by the influence of the Cultural Revolution!
From another point of view, there is no government management, everyone is called heroes, heroes, you rob me, you top me, such a country, I have not seen, I would like you do not believe in the doctrine of yin and yang of the supernatural saints to create a show me. I would like you super saints who don't believe in the doctrine of yin and yang to found one for me to see! No matter how powerful you are, you can't escape the hand of the Buddha!
Third, the yin and yang is mutual growth:
The Tai Chi diagram of the two yin and yang fish, is not static, it is a head of fish biting the other fish's tail, in the non-stop swimming. This is the theory of yin and yang, "the yin and yang of growth" said. The red sun from the beginning of the rise, all the way slowly climb, and so climbed to the zenith, it began to invert the slope. From the moment the red sun begins to fall, the yin has begun to develop. Such an alternation of day and night, the coming and going of heat and cold, is the mutual elimination of yin and yang. Therefore, there is only a relative, dynamic balance of yin and yang, not an absolute, permanent balance. That is to say, yin and yang are basically in relative balance in general terms. This is like summer, which is masculine with long daytime hours, and winter, which is feminine with long nighttime hours. But in terms of the overall duration of the year, the days and nights are evenly balanced.
Yin and yang in the process of growth and development, the temporary appearance of yang and yin or yin and yang, this is a normal phenomenon, which is to promote the forward development of things. Only when there is a serious deviation between yin and yang, resulting in a huge disparity, will there be abnormal changes, resulting in disease. For example, the head of the Yang fish in the Tai Chi diagram is so big at its peak, while the tail of the Yin fish is so subtle, and that is when it actually starts to go the opposite way. The next step is the change from Yang to Yin. Therefore, ancient China advocates the middle ground, and nothing should be taken to extremes. The charm of Eastern culture lies in this, to anticipate things before they are too late! He has not yet declined, but I can tell from his redness that he is about to turn black. The same is true of retribution for evil deeds. When one's evil has been fully realized, it is naturally the day of retribution. The truth of the matter is that if God wants him to perish, he must first make him mad," he said!
So, in traditional Chinese culture, the twelve earthly branches correspond to the twelve months, the first of the earthly branches of the "son", not the first month, but in November. Because, after the winter solstice, the first sun is born. At the time of severe cold, our sages had already seen that warmth was coming. Similarly, today's Zi Shi, does not begin at 0:00, but at 23:00 yesterday. Our great sages, who saw the dawn at the darkest hour, knew that light was coming.
Yin and yang, if in absolute balance, would stagnate, society would not move forward, things would not be able to generate momentum, and likewise, mankind would not be able to grow healthy and strong. Modern science invented cars and trains, is the principle of yin and yang elimination. First use the gas to press down the connecting rod, the tires and use the inertia of the press down and up again, and then press down and up again, so that week after week, the tires are rotating. So only an imbalance of yin and yang can produce power.
Some medical scholars have conducted a test in which a person was placed in a completely germ-free environment, and the person became weak and sick. I've heard so many stories of women who were extremely clean and got gynecological problems instead. This is the truth of yin and yang. If there is no invasion of harmful viruses, then the cells specialized in destroying harmful viruses will be lazy. Without the presence of bad guys, the police station would have to be called a dinner station instead. Therefore, in numerology, there is the saying that wood cannot be made without gold, and gold cannot be refined without fire. So a proper yin and yang imbalance, a proper phasing, is still a good thing.
I have seen such stories on the Internet, a student studying in Canada, the weekly change of clothes packaged, shipped home by plane for parents to wash; I have personally listened to a woman traveling out of the province called stay at home in junior high school daughter, told her daughter can not use a fruit knife to cut apples, for fear of getting hurt; I have personally seen a couple, not allowed to thirteen year old son to eat fish, said fish spines will be I have personally seen a couple not allow their thirteen-year-old son to eat fish, saying that fish spines would get stuck in his throat. Once, a woman with some relatives taught her daughter, "If you do not learn to do housework now, what will you do when you start a family in the future? The daughter said that she would hire a nanny in the future. After hearing this, I said angrily, "You will be the happiest if you do not end up as a nanny for others in the future! . There are many parents who take the kind of suffering during the Three Years' Hardship Period to educate their children, and almost all of them are disgusted to hear it, saying that their parents are old-fashioned and that it is impossible for them to eat Guanyin soil in the future. I thought to myself, "Your parents survived eating Guanyin soil, but I'm afraid you won't even have the good fortune to eat Guanyin soil! You think that there will be no suffering in the future, and the suffering you will suffer may be even greater than that suffered by your parents! Because, a very simple truth, if human beings continue like this, then won't they all become waste!
So there is no motivation to press down, there is no motivation to rise up; there is no proper restraint, it will not develop and grow. In terms of the rich and the poor: the rich are yang, while the poor are yin. All the small number of rich people have a little more wealth than the majority of poor people, this is a normal phenomenon, so that instead of prompting the poor to fight, to struggle. However, if the disparity between the rich and the poor is so great that the majority of the poor cannot even secure a basic living, then they will definitely revolt. Therefore, the international community has set a point for the disparity between the rich and the poor. The Gini coefficient of 0.4 is the critical point, if it exceeds this warning line, the country will be in turmoil! Therefore, can only be appropriate yin and yang imbalance, can not let the yang too much to the extreme, this is the way to rule the country.
This is the "I Ching" yin and yang doctrine, "Yang will decline, Yin will be defeated; too rigid easy to fold, too soft is abolished," the profound philosophy. If you know this, you will be much wiser in educating your children. Greenhouse can not be grown in the sky tree, only let the child see the wind and rain, through frost and ice, in order to become a pillar of the country's talent. By the same token, if you disregard the child's ability to endure, let him suffer and bear heavy burdens, or if you disregard the laws of nature and try to pull up the seedlings to help them grow, then the result will only be counterproductive. This is true for human beings as well as for the animal kingdom. If there is no natural enemy of the sika deer, it can be said that the generation is not as good as the generation. Even the species may be extinct.
Knowing these theoretical principles, we can predict: such as the whole country to buy stocks, everyone wants to earn, then, who will lose money, who will pay? Of course it can only be the stock plummet, fools out of money. If the property market than the world's housing prices are high, seriously out of the affordability of ordinary residents, this time if the property market is not down, and if not down in a mess, then, you can sweep the I Ching into the dustbin of history! And, I can also tell you the death point of the property market: before dawn there is under the black, which is the night is dying, dawn is coming; seriously ill people suddenly awake, suddenly appetite, which is the sign of the imminent death; the enemy defiantly attacked, which shows that he has intended to die! These natural and social phenomena are the points of death. At the same time, we can also speculate about the future: there will always be righteousness, while evil will always exist. When computers are no longer invaded by viruses, people who are superstitious about Western science, you will be in a position to oppose traditional Chinese culture.
Fourth, yin and yang can be transformed into each other:
The two opposite aspects of yin and yang can be transformed into their opposites under certain conditions. Both from yin to yang, or from yang to yin. For example, when a person gets sick, if he feels severe wind and cold, he will have a fever. If the fever reaches an extreme point, he will be afraid of cold instead. If it is sunny for a long time, it will rain, and if it rains for a long time, it will clear up. Darkness for a long time will see light, and light for a long time will see darkness. The ancient masterpiece "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" begins with the following: "A long time together will lead to division, a long time apart will lead to unity, and this is the general trend of the world. At the end of the Yuan dynasty in the bottom of the peasant, a leap in the Ming dynasty in the position of the country's top managers. And so on some of the facts of the transformation of yin and yang, can be "yin and yang mutual transformation" theory for the evidence. Therefore, yin and yang are always alternating and circulating. The so-called "extreme joy begets sorrow" philosophy, that is to say, the yin and yang can not be unchanging.
If the transformation of yin and yang is used in human beings themselves, it means that a bad person can be turned into a good person if he is educated and enlightened by other people, as well as in the environment of trust and civilization, or if some people learn and practice by themselves. Similarly, a good man who is not evil in himself, if he is in an environment full of vices, full of trickery and deceit, he can't help it, he can't be good even if he wants to be good, and he can't do bad even if he wants to be bad. Thus, good people can also become bad people. The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
Fifth, yin and yang are not pure - yang in yin, yin in yang.
Let's take another look at the Tai Chi diagram: the eyes of the white fish are black, and the eyes of the black fish are white. This shows that there must be yang in yin, and yin in yang. There are dark places in the daytime and bright places at night with starlight and lamps. When a man is yang, a woman is yin. The man who represents the masculine is yang on the outside and yin on the inside. What is expressed and revealed is yang, and the thoughts and motives buried in the heart are yin. The masculine man has a soft side; the feminine woman has a strong, vigorous side. Some men are more delicate than women's hearts, and some women have the courage to think and do more than men. Therefore, there must be yin in yang, and yang must be hidden in yin. A group is notorious, but there are some good people in the group. For example, in World War II, there were German soldiers who joined the Soviet Red Army to fight against German fascism, and Japanese soldiers who joined the Eighth Route Army to fight against Japanese fascism. A good man may have done bad things, and a bad man may have done good things. As the saying goes, no one is perfect. Good things, it is likely to hide the root of the trouble, trouble, may also be pregnant with a blessed tire. The so-called blessing is the ambush of disaster, disaster is the blessing of dependence is also. This is the yin and yang fish, Yang fish a little black, black fish a little white mystery.
Conclusion:
As the general law of history and culture, was in the Cultural Revolution poison and has not yet been cleared of people denounced as feudal superstition, through such a dissection, we will know that this is purely natural things. You really want to say that it is not scientific, but at most can only say that it did not add a chemical catalyst. However, chemical things now people do not like. Nylon fabric, indeed these chemical fibers, people eventually abandoned, or change to wear pure natural cotton. Scientifically invented feed additives, feed chickens are growing faster, but the eggs laid by these chickens, people do not want to eat, each want to buy some eggs. Recently, I read reports that the science of genetically modified corn has been a disaster for northern agriculture. And it is also likely to cause health damage to our next generation.
Some people worry that the I Ching is too earthy, too natural, too materialistic, and suggest that it's better to put on a little makeup like a woman, and try to move closer to the West. It would be scientific to put the heavenly stem A, represented by a big A, the earthly branch Zi, represented by a small a, the earthly branch U, represented by a small b, and the earthly branch C, represented by a small c. This would be accepted and loved by the people. I said, "What I like is the beauty that comes out of hibiscus, the natural beauty. There are women who wear make-up, I think she is simply like a leprechaun, I'm afraid"!
The so-called materialism means that the eye does not see anything, but only imagines something in the heart; the so-called materialism means that the physical object seen by the eye is the standard. I really want to ask Mao Zedong, where is the materialism of the Zhou Yi? You believe in it yourself and you don't allow others to believe in it, aren't you obviously fooling the people?
The Zhouyi is the source of culture, and the Constitution is the general outline of all laws. Since all laws are based on the Constitution are not a problem, then you are smart enough to believe in those branches of the sub-laws, right? Believe, and to comprehend by example, you can not only know the past, but also, will predict the future. Because, with the theory of yin and yang, you can test everything in the world!
Sima Qian said: "the wise listen to the silent, the bright see in the unformed", from this statement we can see, to become a smart person, is to be in the things have not been formed before you have to see it, at least to see a clue. To anticipate things in the future, to prevent problems before they occur, this is the most commendable thought and spirit of the Chinese nation. So, prediction, and what is the crime of it?
