Master nanThe I ching: the second chapter of hexagrams view

Saint set up, the concept of home, copulative!The good or ill luck.Soft phase and change.Is it good or ill luck, loss of the like also.Regrets streamline, sorrow of danger like also.Change, and the like also.And soft, and the like of day and night.Six righteousness, three pole also.

And so the gentleman's house is in the Ann, and easy to order also.Joy and play, zhangs words also.Is reason gentleman in view of their home and play with it, view it and play its accounted for.Is the providence, no adverse."The book of changes" and the ghost ", copulative saint hexagrams, view like how!The Ming good or ill luck"

Everybody study of yi jing, I repeatedly emphasize that is 8864 hexagrams order, be sure to come back.If you want to use, must also put the air-dried, gan, Yin and Yang, five elements are clear, can be.

"Saint" is refers to our ancestors, have the wisdom, morality and accomplishment.Saint hexagrams mean gossip, philosopher who assume that past.Here, we have book yi jing, don't look too mysterious, too to superstition;But don't belittle it, too easy too simple.The colour of mystery, "the book of changes", however, in our China has a long history.Remember when we were small, my pillow at night a "book of changes", is not afraid of ghosts.So weThe childThe child, everyone is reading the book, because is afraid of ghosts.

Confucius studies the experience of "the book of changes", "the report says" saint a divination ".This is a symbolic logic, is hypothetical.Yi jing gossip and 8864 hexagrams, actually talking about what you do than fixed opinion, don't do it won't be able to book a to learn.Assume that our artists studied "the book of changes", also can draw another kind of abstract painting, not the book that did it?So the book is included all knowledge.Confucius, this report focus on set up sticks and set is to assume that words, is a symbol, the ancients explain hexagrams hang also.Divination is hung on object we can see a natural phenomenon, is equal to we the same picture hanging on the wall.So, the hexagrams hang, also all of nature is there.Our words, now hexagrams pendulum also, is there for all of us, also is the sun, the moon, the wind, rain, all the visible phenomena of nature.So the saint hexagrams, everything is natural phenomenon, assuming that a symbol, what shall I do?Let's view, observing the natural phenomenon.

Through the meaning of this symbol, observe the phenomenon of nature - all the mountains and rivers, all weather phenomena of nature.These phenomena are observed clearly, "copulative yan Ming good or ill luck!""Copulative" is below the wording of the clause, all written the following sentences, is copulative.Such as dry, yuan, heng, and Jane, is that our words or language, is to the interpretation of the text.The interpretation of the natural phenomenon of human thought, 'and enabled us to see the good or ill luck.

"Good" two words you should pay attention to, the more things in heaven and earth is not auspicious, is fierce, is not good, is bad;Not bad not bad.Bad is bad, not bad is good.Do business, if there is no money but not at a loss, when you think is not earn not to compensate, not earn not to compensate is lost, lost spirit, lost time, so there is no break even.These data suggest that phenomenon between heaven and earth, there are only two;Is not auspicious, is fierce.So how and Ming drama "copulative", the word of good or ill luck is so.

Copulative summary called "biography, for Confucius (images below, for the king of the text, the duke of zhou).Average person writing, talking about how this person's language, is refers to the "speech", not the "word" verses.But now people are very like to use this "word", it is not.But everyone in this way, you can also normal, speaks with somebody else, also is it.If how "rhetoric", the poems in the word.Confucius wrote called "biography, have two up and down, for now, the is paper or observations, Confucius called" copulative "at that time.So he said, "copulative yan Ming good or ill luck."

Soft phase and change

"Push and soft phase change.

What is the good or ill luck?Take physical phenomenon is: "push and soft phase change."Soft, we know that is the Yin and Yang, abstract in the physical world is called Yin and Yang, essence is firm soft.The firm is Yang, soft is Yin.Like a contradiction, in fact also is a kind of phenomenon obstruction from each other.In China's cultural thoughts, contradictions but also is a kind of phenomenon, is the "book of changes" of the so-called elephant.It said the relationship between the change, illustrates the principle of the spear and shield.

Like tai chi push hands, you push to come over, I pushed past, two kinds of power, obstruction to each other, "firm soft push and change".The logical what of, people talk about contradictions ah, unified, ah, ah yes ah, no...You think good, think it is to learn.We were also hard to read, but after I finished reading is lost, it is the phenomenon of change, not great.Equal to now speak psychology, point to a lot of cases, prove the psychological response is how.Such practice very hard, and case finished, have no?These psychological status may be is a common phenomenon in society, may be the whole of societyHave a haircutThe change of the raw, in short, the process of change too much.For example, we use the electric light, open the switch we just feel it, don't know it changes all the time;Beginning the second electric has been consumed, it in consumption at any time, at any time to grow up, at any time in the birth and death.But you can't see the change, only to see the light in the light.And yi jing has to see this change, know this process, it points out that the physical world is "born" soft push changes.You remember the two principles.

Observation of natural phenomena, "copulative" tells us the meaning of natural phenomena.For Buddhism, the natural phenomenon was the earth is a cruel things;All living beings, like those of us who have a life, is love.So called living beings "sentient beings" of Buddhism, there is a spiritual and thinking;The material world is a cruel thing, there is no thought.Set hexagrams "saints", let's observe the phenomenon of heartless world, "copulative and Ming good or ill luck".All living creatures is where come of, also is a kind of phenomenon the universe of the material world."Soft", is both positive and negative mass energy push each other, creating a sentient beings of the world of all living beings.

If a grasp of these two principles, know the soft push phase and the change of the sciences, you want to divination fortune-teller can best calculate the accurate.But this also has its change among them, is to look at, the size of the empty.Like doctors, said today's disease better?The patient said no, or very painful.But you also pain lying in bed yesterday, today has been taken off the bed activities, has been good.But people are always not satisfied, because he does not know "push and soft phase change", everyone understand this principle, can further studied "the book of changes".

The journey of life

"Is it good or ill luck,, like also;Regrets are, like also sorrow danger;Change, and the like also."

The three, is the highest philosophy of life, is the political philosophy.We know that the universe has only two phenomena: a target, a fierce.The good or ill luck and how?How to is good or bad?Is supposed.Human psychology a phenomenon, the benefits of their reactions as "the elephant" of lost too, good or ill luck.For example, I want to make money, money in my hand, is prosperous;Less than my hand or lost money, this is fierce.So is a response to the human mind is relatively good or ill luck, there is no absolute good or ill luck between heaven and earth, also does not have absolute right and wrong, there is no absolute good or bad.This refers to XingErShangZhe is concerned.

So XingErShangZhe "no," XingErXiaZhe "have".There is where come of?Come by the human psychology.How is the good or ill luck?Also from the criterion of human psychology.For example, young people fall in love, when it comes to the most warm very satisfied, but you can't just considered auspicious.On the table and looks very proud. In fact, maybe frustrated was dark fell on the inside.Now feel good, then separate is very painful!I often say a person to survive is not easy, but it's hard to death also.Want to die to return true not easy, diving too cold, commit suicide by hanging very silent......No as well.These are all from psychological phenomenon.

In the same way, the good or ill luck is also a kind of psychological phenomenon, a kind of psychological phenomenon.I always say you learned after yi jing don't divination, because 8864 terms no is prosperous, and no divination is big fierce, at best, tell us "ji, fierce, regret, streamline" four phenomenon.Life is only four phenomenon, this is the four elephants yi jing Yin and Yang, the so-called "tai chi gave birth to two meter and two meter four elephants".

Foreigner, west of tai chi is called ontology, called god, Buddhism is Buddha.We don't come to a set of Chinese culture, don't give it a religious coat, don't give it a hypothetical term - ontology;The life of all, we call it the tai chi.Tai chi was born two meter, two meter is the Yin and Yang, always represent two opposite forces, had four elephants two meter.Two instrument had four elephants, is old Yin and Yang, Yin less and less.

Humanities all phenomena of the world there is only a four - a "ji, fierce, regret, streamline".How to let regret?Just words, know is regret, life every moment in the regret about anything.justHave a meal, the food is delicious, desperately eat, eat, stomach upset, regret, "just eat less good", that is the regret.Regret words with my explanation, its true meaning, only can be used a noun to show, just the most appropriate, is in the buddhist scriptures, "trouble", that is the regret.At the beginning of the buddhist scriptures speak troubles is not painful, is feeling tired, have long felt uncomfortable, is not painful, but anytime and anywhere that is not very bright and clear, very irritated, very upset, also is not happy.Average person says, is "the book of changes" of regrets."Troubles" two words is India's religious culture, from China later.

Streamline is what?Streamline is difficult, is his avaricious.The yi jing 8864 hexagrams, only auspicious, fierce, regret, streamline four changes.There is only one of the four is good, the rest of the three components are bad.'dark current is small, not big fierce, is not good, nor too bad.Everything fixed between the cosmic but it move only a quarter of the composition is good, three of four is bad.The later have to speak, now only said the first.

"Is it good or ill luck, like also lost too;Regrets are, sorrow threats of elephant also."Sorrow is sorrow and trouble.Danger is the thinking, brain kept thinking;With head called lv.Head is very painful, a person not pain, what all don't want to be good.Walking up and down without brains, just sleep, wake up the most comfortable.But that it's hard to do, the vast majority of people are to have brains;As long as with head there is sorrow, there will be trouble.So said "regrets are, sorrow threats of elephant also".Everything between cosmic, therefore, all the person's psychology, is inseparable from the "good or ill luck of remorse streamline" four word.So as long as there is life, there will be trouble, psychologically there is gain and loss, the happy, lose the pain and worry.

"Change, and the like also."In return, this is changing."Kind of like," is all kinds of change.If the other way round, what kind?Is the elephant of the "change".Similarly, "is a good or ill luck like also that seafarer regrets of streamline like also, advance and retreat, the like of the change" also is very good words, the theory is the same.But the former is the conclusion out first, the latter is put theme in conclusion.

This is ancient prose writing method, it is changing, and rhyme, loud, not only can recite it out, and can also spectrum on the musical instrument and play or sing, a words also can't bad.Its rhyme to clear, like a good or ill luck, loss of the elephant also is very good words, also is very good music.

After we studied "the book of changes", how to judge a problem?Now according to the principle of "the biography of the I ching, department and Confucius thought, to tell you what is good or ill luck, that's the elephant of the" lost ", or "lost" two words can be.Suppose we ask what regrets streamline?The answer is "sorrow threats of elephant".What is called a change?The answer is "kind of like" too.This is the book, don't look wise, at random and disorderly, it is no good.Confucius told us the answer, you just know these.To play again next and Confucius further.

A bow down

An image of "soft, day and night also;Six of the hexagram, three pole also."

In the material world, Confucius "copulative upload" in the first chapter, the mention of "soft" this two word.Firm is Yang, soft is Yin;The day is Yang, belongs to the just;The night is cloudy, belong to the soft.So soft, and the like of day and night.In other words, the physical world is a Yin and Yang, what we see at night is dark and cloudy, but the night and there's nothing to be afraid.Such as our hands and turn it over the side, turn over the past is the flip side, a Yin and Yang is that it changes, the night in the daytime also just change phenomenon.So understand the yi jing, he won't be afraid of the dark, not afraid of ghosts, Yin and Yang is phenomenon, has nothing to do with the ghost.

We afraid of ghosts when he was young, but now I want to see a ghost, because the spirits are much more friendly than man.If we told ghost friends, not full?But the ghost still can't see!I especially like the night, because much more comfortable than during the day and at night, the night of that free, the silent, is really good, the day was a noisy don't know what to do.So this is the idea.

Actually, tai chi and no day and night, night and day, is a change to the material world.Suppose that we use today's science, space, day and night in space.Day and night is derived from the rotation of the earth's phenomenon, this kind of phenomenon, is not formed by the earth itself, but rather as a result of the sun, the moon, the earth.A ball is blocked into the night, the sun to call during the day, when the ball is in the samples, not great.So said, "and soft, the like of the day and night".Therefore produces a philosophy: people have the busy during the day, always want to have a rest at night;Similarly, came to power after a while, total want to go to rest;Step down for a long time later, perhaps to power again.On this, is also the "elephant" of day and night, also have no what, but is a natural phenomenon.

The value of life

Here when it comes to divination, saint hexagrams, six hexagram, "the six hexagram, three pole way also".Birth chart is three pictures, such as dry for three days, he is three, and so on, are all three paintings.With six eight palace divination is the day after tomorrow.Such as dry for days, days the wind Gou, each hexagram must have six hexagram.Hexagram is make mean, interactive relationship between each other.

"The book of changes" hexagrams why has six hexagram?Six hexagram is through three steps.What is three pole?Is heaven, earth and people.This is the characteristics of Chinese culture: on the day, the yue, is a person in the middle.Heaven and earth have defects?To the "I ching", it seems, heaven and earth is flawed, heaven and earth is not satisfactory.For example, westerners said, did god make heaven and earth.It really, also be manufactured.If the world all during the day, even don't have to waste electricity, even invented electric light to do what?It alwaysIt rainsWell, all right!We can become the fish!Also use less than building a house, car!Many phenomena are half and half, make people busy!Sunny days and rainy days, sometimes a typhoon.I often tell jokes, people's eyes grow well.If in front of a long, after a length, not before and after are visible?Nose is also not grow well, have a meal also use teeth to bite.Some people say that eyebrows is not good.If long fingers, and even the toothbrush can also be saved.The joke is that the heaven and earth is flawed.Then mention the value of the humanities culture in Chinese culture, is also a famous saying of Confucius once speak - the value of life in "counsellor germination of heaven and earth".

Having said that, I tell the story of a personal experience, this is forty or fifty years ago.I teach at sichuan university, is still very young.They asked me to keynote speech, the topic is "the purpose of life".I said that this topic is bad, because the problem is the answer, with less than I speak.This topic have told everybody, for the purpose of life is life, the rest are added later.Such as westerners believe that life is pleasure, for the purpose!There is sun yat-sen thought that life is for the purpose of service!Actually enjoy, service, are added to it.

What is the purpose?As I am todayHave a classThe purpose of, in class is my;Everybody coming from home listening to lectures, class is everyone's goal.People from his mother at birth, no one will ask in mom abdomen: why should I born?What is the purpose of my birth?No man ever understand just born.Life on earth for the purpose of what?I tell you, loudly tell you, for the purpose of life is life.This topic itself is the answer, and nothing to tell!

If the force is what to life, for the purpose of the ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign are all talk.Take Confucius's words, the purpose of life, we can't say the purpose of life, it should be said that value.

What is the value of life?Is in the "civilizing counsellor heaven and earth".Counsellor is to make up for the meaning of, make up for the deficiencies in the germination of heaven and earth.The wind rain, such as day human invention house blocked the wind and rain, shows the function of life is counsellor germination of heaven and earth, also is to help all things.So the Chinese culture called the heaven, earth, and only three - three to the universe.Mention the value of people, the people in Chinese culture is very high.Now we hear a foreigner speak a humanitarian, then follow behind somebody else's ass, I see the true have infinite sigh with emotion.These people are poor, he forgot to have his own culture.Look around the world today speak humanitarian, in addition to our China, are disorderly blow, were later the younger generation.You look back at our yi jing, it is really a humanitarian culture.

"The six hexagram, three pole way also."The diode heaven, earth and people move, six hexagram is;Six hexagram move again, relative strength, has a mouth, that is to say, the Yin and Yang is the centripetal force is the centrifugal force.So after read the book, I feel terrible.The ancients said understand the yi jing can be as a group, I today still speak of choose and employ persons with a classmate way: the people loyal to us, we are family also absolutely loyal, but by the moment of time of interest, not loyal faithful don't know.Because of the centripetal force, there is centrifugal force.I have often said, who is the most reliable person in the world?Even oneself are not reliable, also be able to believe others?Because people will change.Humanistic thought, is the hope that people at the time of deadly unrest, can be the same, that is a saint, youdao, it is these three pole.The "tao", in this place is about principle, are metaphysical principles, six hexagram yi jing so the answer is here - the so-called "three pole way ', also.Because change is opposite to each other, so the three pole is produced six changes, our ancestors have found.Natural science progress up to now, no more than the six range, this is "the three pole way" also.The above are the natural phenomena of the physical world, it happened in the process of truth.

Confucius's thought is different, he is a human as the center.We check out what Confucius said, and he took the law of nature, a humanistic idea, also is the principle of the physical sciences, use the philosophy of life to inside.

Reassuring them

And so the gentleman's house is in the "Ann, and sequence is easy;Joy and play, hexagram words also;Is therefore a gentleman in view it like to play it, view it and play its accounted for.Is the providence, no bad."

It is said, we have to understand the principle of natural science, with a philosophy of life.The gentleman is intellectual, with advanced education should understand this truth.In, it is normal, the later ancient prose is easy, mean one ordinary, peace, the house can feel at ease.Complacency that four word, was first mentioned in the "book of changes" and peace after the truth -- truth is produced naturally came out.

"A gentleman's house and Ann, ez order also.House and Ann, "why 8864 divination of changes like this?It has its principle, do you understand this principle, understands the life.And the so-called "house Ann, and the sequence of the yi", it is for this reason.

"Joy and player, hexagram words also."Confucius has told us here, "the book of changes" is want us to play, you want to back to the "I ching" is fun.Like to buy a pair of play mahjong tiles, natural play out reason.Hours' wait adults tell us, do not read the book at night, read the book, because night ghosts will cry.Now know the truth, I knew the night really can't read the book.Is not afraid of ghosts cry, afraid of is too much for themselves.Because the night, a study of yi jing, though it is very late, but there is still a little not understand, to study the sleep again, continue to study, have a good grasp of, suddenly found a point, again into another kind of circumstance, such spirit came again, don't sleep again, like this one "in the morning I don't know yet. The ancients said" sit small window to read the book of changes, I do not know the spring have long ", it is true, was not a bit false. Sit down and read the book, before you know it was a spring.

"Joy and player, hexagram words also."Confucius tells us to learn the key point of "the book of changes", "book of changes" of each, and that - in a word, hanging there was.It includes the nature of physics, philosophy, political philosophy and so on, we learn enough for a lifetime.The two words is the master told us to learn the benefits of yi jing, studied "the book of changes", understand the yi jing, our heart is peaceful, less trouble, less pain, is "a gentleman's house and Ann, the sequence of the yi".The second problem is to tell us, with what method to study.Confucius said, "the music player, hexagram words also", that is to learn the book don't be so serious, we easily to study in, it's as simple as that.

The providence, no adverse

And tell us a key:

"Is the former residence is it like to play it, move the view it and play its accounted for, is the providence, no bad."Tell us your attention here, we studied "the book of changes", is our "in view of its like to play the", not to let the divination fortune-telling.Concept of "the elephant", our life, contact people, wake up every day, the day's luck yourself know, a look at what the phenomenon.

"View it like to play it," we watch the phenomenon, to look at the expression under the hexagram, thousands of years of experience accumulated, the implication, there is a principle, you need to be able to find out."Dynamic view it and play its", we are moving at any time, you want to do business, idea, or you when civil servants, the superior to give you a command to do one thing, it is also a dynamic...Yet another phenomenon came, you look at this change, understand the yi jing, "and play its accounted for".Can account for is divination, prophecy, and know the matter if do it, the result is what appearance;If according to do like that, the result is what appearance, his already knows.That is to say, understand the life, will reach the prophecy."And to play its share, don't know the divination.

The following is a key to tell you that "since the providence, no adverse".We believe that religion, god, please help, all useless.The world without any kind of force he can help you.Students asked the teacher, please do me a favor, I said can't do that.I am your teacher, also can't help you.Sometimes ask mom to help, also can't do.Abdominal pain, my mother help me pain, is that possible?Don't say, mom, god can't do as well.

People need to do to do?On your own, self help.Bless themselves, god will bless you, everything from self-reliance.China's unique experience, only to be stood up, help yourself, can "from providence, no adverse".Bless, myself from 'own, only in this way, to get his force.The day, "since god bless" induction force to you on his behalf.From his force the tactic, call induction;Inductive there should be, so they can help to stand up, "since the providence, so god to you.If I cannot stand, you lying on the ground I help you, can walk!If I put my hand, you lie down again, next time I never quit!So we have to let you always lying on the ground.So people want to self-help can help themselves, can free-standing self-improvement, to prosperous New Year.Thus we can know that the book tells us: life fate is master in his own hands, any kind of external forces are unreliable.

In the classics

Writing about the book, there is too much for thousands of years is too much!"Ku" collection of the rich, is also a group of the crown.The interpretation of "copulative", it is debated, don't see well, more see more confused.The annotation of "ku", most of the points I've seen.Found that the interpretation of the ancient people, just like we modern people, each have each subjective, and focus on more focus on interpretation of the word, especially in han dynasty.

Foreigners are often called the research between the learning of Chinese "sinology", this is an idea is wrong."Sinology" is our Chinese culture in a special term, is talking about the han dynasty academic problem.Intellectuals of the han dynasty in the Chinese culture an unprecedented havoc - after qin shihuang book-burning, many ancient books were burned.When the book is by the restore back.In order to be afraid of mistakes, so the intellectuals at that time, every word, every sentence, be textual research.Often because of a word of textual research, can write a doctoral dissertation, to more than one hundred words, looked at the call head big.In a word, the ancients do not work after a big meal, average computer-virus drill into the deep end, together a flesh, wrote a great article, that is can't see.Nor can't see, but more see more call you don't understand.Speak words of welcome, sometimes I think should have burned it, useless!But think again, may also be useful.So today we are going to want to read their cultural prose, the best thing to do is to the solution.Annotated many of others, don't look at it first.Because look at the others' comments, some concepts will first impressions are most lasting.If your subjective being held the first, later, it's very difficult to change.So I advocate in the classics.Sometimes you read this article, the front is not understand of place, waiting for you to read the back of the front also understand.Even if the wrong, wrong very little, not tall.If see the annotations of the elders, sometimes wrong, a wrong is decades, back don't come back, he is too late to regret.Besides, there is a note, a too many annotations, more let you don't have the ability to identify.So, in the solution is the best way to study bible.
