May I ask what is the meaning of the images, numbers, and numbers in the Book of Changes

Since ancient times, the study of the Book of Changes can be divided into three disciplines: imagery, mathematics, and science.

"Xiang" refers to appearances and hexagrams. From heaven and earth, sun and moon, water and Mars, down to birds and animals, and human society, all of them can be "imaged" by yin and yang gossip. The laws of motion of the world are vividly described as the principle of hexagrams.

"Image" is the most basic level of easy learning, and it is the foundation on which "number" and "reason" depend.

"Numbers" and "Reason" are the applications of "Images". "Number" refers to the number of techniques, including divination, etc., which is the application of Yi "Xiang" in ** science. It tries to deduce and predict the world with symbolism, so as to achieve the goal of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

"Reason" refers to the principle of righteousness, which is the application of Yi "image" in philosophy. It talks about moral ethics and character cultivation through the structure of Yi, so as to achieve the purpose of sublimating wisdom and perfect life.

It can also be summed up in this way: "Xiang" pays attention to the laws of nature, "Li" pays attention to the laws of society, and "Number" focuses on divination and prophecy.

"Elephant learning" was originally the foundation of the three learnings, but after Confucius, especially after experiencing the heavy blows of Confucianism and Wang Bi sweeping elephants, it was already dying. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty said in the preface of "Zhou Yi Eclectic": "The vast number of easy learning is prepared, and the Qin and Han dynasties have not recovered their subtleties."

Zhou Yi Compromise" said: "Since Confucius is gone, Yi Tao has been lost, the righteousness has been lost, and the image is extremely slim." The "image" mentioned here is the "image" science.

The words "extremely slim" speak of the loss of "elephant" science.

While the essence of "elephantology" has been lost for 2,000 years, "number" and "reason" have achieved tremendous development. In the science of "mathematics", applied disciplines such as Bagua **, Plum Blossom Easy Counting, Liuren**, Four Pillars Numerology, and Feng Shui have been developed. With the efforts of Cheng Yi, Zhu Xi and other university scholars, the study of "science" has reached the glorious peak of thought.

Although the study of mathematics and science flourished for a while, they are inseparable from the foundation of "elephant". The withering of "elephant" studies has hollowed out these two disciplines and directly affected their long-term development. How can the water without a source and the tree without roots have great achievements?

Therefore, repairing the study of "elephants" is a top priority and the only way to promote Chinese culture.

The loss of "Yili" is the key to the obscurity of "elephant" science.

The historical responsibility of "Ming Yi" is to recover the golden key of "Yili" and completely repair the "elephant" science!

Most of the content discussed in this book belongs to the category of "elephantology", and a small part belongs to the category of "science". This book does not deal with "mathematics".

You know it all at once.

The Zhou Yi is composed of the hexagram number system and the hexagram word writing system, and the commentary and study of the Zhou Yi in the past dynasties are also divided into two major schools: the number of images and the meaning of the truth. Because the Xiang Mathematical School involved astronomy, calendar, music, ethics, philosophy, and astrology when interpreting the Yi, the Xiang Mathematics system was very complex and shrouded in a veil of mystery. "Elephant number" is regarded as a synonym for "arithmetic" and "arithmetic", and elephant mathematicians are regarded as mysterious masters who master the heavenly machine and the future.

In the academic world, many experts believe that "elephant numbers" is not easy to learn and authentic, and has nothing to do with philosophy; Some experts believe that "elephant mathematics" is the foundation of ancient Chinese science and a representative ...... of ancient natural philosophy

There are many processes for studying the Book of Changes, which can be generally divided into two schools, the "Xiangshu School" and the "Yili School".

Elephant number school Elephant number is originally a separate line of knowledge, and it is used together in Yixue. Hitchhike.

"elephant" refers to the shape, also known as "easy image".

Zhou Yi. According to the Biography of the Dictionaries, Bagua is made by looking up at astronomical phenomena, looking down on geographical images, taking images of people up close, and taking images of things from afar. The traditional view is that the image of the I Ching has three meanings:

That. 1. The shape of the eight trigrams, the sixty-four hexagrams, and the three hundred and eighty-four hexagrams, i.e., the hexagram and the elephant. For example, the image of the tripod hexagram is like "Ding", the lower line is like the two legs of the tripod, the fifth line is like the two ears of the tripod, the upper line is like the tripod bar, and the middle three lines are like the belly of the tripod.

That. 2. The things symbolized by the gossip are as follows: Qian is the father of the sky, Kun is the mother of the earth, etc.

Third, the specific things mentioned in the hexagram and the hexagram, such as the dragon in the Qiangua and the horse in the Kun hexagram.

number", exponential items and calculations, also known as "easy numbers". Easy numbers also have three meanings:

1. The number of attributes of each hexagram, ie.

Six, seven, eight, nine. Seven and nine represent odd numbers and represent yang, and six and eight are even numbers and represent yin.

Second, the number of the order of the line, in order is the beginning, two, three, four, five, and upper, that is, the law of change of the line.

3. In the process of divination, the required hexagram is deduced according to the calculation of the number of yarrow (shī) grass.

Yili is the meaning of righteousness, and "reason" is the truth. The Yili School pays attention to the meanings and truths contained in the hexagrams, hexagrams, and hexagrams in the Book of Changes, and explains them from the perspective of abstract virtues, functions, attributes, and meanings.

Numbers and righteousness can be seen as two sides of the same coin. For example, the reason why dry is strong and healthy is because dry is like the sky, and the laws of the movement of celestial bodies, which are repeated and uninterrupted, are powerful, and just show the attributes of Jianna.

The overall provisions of the study of elephant numbers in the I Ching are ().

a.If you have a sufficient number, the liquid will collapse.

b.The increase is long.

c.If the number of circles is reduced, the key decay.

d.The number of poles is dead.

Correct answer: ABC

People say that if you understand the images, numbers, and principles of the Book of Changes, then you will understand the truth of the Book of Changes.

Elephant: It is a hexagram, and the same elephant will have different interpretations, depending on the direction from which you understand it. The same "big hexagram" can be regarded as a coffin after failure, and can also be seen as a bridge to the road to success, so there is a sentence called "one side is the coffin, the other side is the sedan chair" to describe people when facing a major life and death decision in life and death when two different results, either "if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent", or you succeed.

Like a switch, on is yang, off is yin, it depends on how you understand such a phenomenon.

Number: Each hexagram is composed of yin or yang lines, which is the change of number. One and that.

Two, two and one, is one divide.

Second, the meaning of two into one is a process of constant change, it is impossible to maintain the status quo of the process, as the so-called "the difference of a millimeter is a thousand miles", this is the number.

When we see an "image", we often "know it in our hearts".In modern language, it is the process of the development of what we see subjectively; But at the same time, when the appearance changes and deviates from the number in one's mind, it is subjective to treat objectivity, and thus it is wrong.

Reason: Images and numbers are changing, not fixed things, but "everything changes without leaving their origins", this is the principle.

From the universe, the four seasons, the tides of the sea, to the 24 hours and 60 minutes a day, things are always in a cyclical process, which is a "circle" change process.

The extremes of things must be opposed", "crying with joy", and one withering and one glory are all laws.

Yin and Yang are inseparable, Yin and Yang are to be reconciled, and the natural law of things is the process of continuous dynamic equilibrium.

Like the original image, what can be seen, is also called the appearance! Reason is the law, the operation rules and mechanisms of all things! Reason is the end, or the conclusion!

Seeing the performance, you make reasonable assumptions or inferences based on his rules, and draw a conclusion (opinion) that you should not do or not. How to do it, the gains and losses of doing it!
