"Earth, observing the characters of birds and animals, and the appropriateness of the earth, taking in bodies from near, and taking in things from far away, so we began to make Bagua to understand the virtues of gods and imitate the emotions of all things." It is said that Bagua originated from the ancient people's "observation of things." Practical activities of "Heaven bows to the earth".
1. Innate Bagua Sequence Chart, also known as Fuxi Bagua Sequence Chart
Illustration: white is yang, black is yin. "Yi has Tai Chi, which produces two rites, and two rites produce four Xiang, four Xiang produces Bagua." ("Book of Changes")
"One is divided into two, two is divided into four, and four is divided into eight." (Shao Yong's "Huangji Jingshi") < /p>
"Qian one, Dui two, Li three, Zhen four, Xun five, Kan six, Gen seven, Kun eight." (Shao Yong's "Huangji Jingshi")
" Two is divided into four, four is divided into eight, eight is divided into sixteen, sixteen is divided into thirty-two, and thirty-two is divided into sixty-four."
Qian (qian) is divided into three connected, Kun (). Kun) has six broken parts: Zhen (zhen) raises the bowl, Gen (gen) covers the bowl, Li (li) is missing in the middle, Kan (kan) is full in the middle, Dui (dui) is missing in the upper part, Xun (xun) is broken in the lower part, this is the Eight Diagrams Elephant.
2. Innate Bagua Circle Diagram and Yin-Yang Sequence Diagram (the images in the following articles are all displayed in the direction of up, north, down, south, left, west, right and east to facilitate interpretation by friends)
Illustrations : "The heaven and earth are positioned, the mountains and rivers are ventilated, the thunder and wind are thin, the water and fire do not hit each other, and the eight trigrams are wrong. Those who count are going smoothly, and those who know what is coming are reversed. Therefore, it is easy to count backwards." ("Book of Changes·Shuo Gua") Meaning That is to say: Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, and Qian is the north and south of the sky. Gen represents the mountain and Dui represents the sea. The two are equally powerful. Zhen represents thunder, and Xun represents wind. When there is thunder, there is wind. Li represents fire, and Kan represents water. Water and fire are incompatible, so they are a pair. (Note: The Xiantian Bagua is the order in which ancestor Fu Xi arranges the hexagrams according to the natural rise and fall of yin and yang, because society at that time was still relatively primitive, people were in awe of nature and sought survival everywhere, and at that time, the ancestor was observing astronomy at night, and there was no Big Dipper in the north. It is said that in the Vega Galaxy, everything is centered on nature, and human beings are very small, so it is called Xiantian Bagua. By the time of King Wen, not only the galaxy had changed, but also because of the high development of society, human beings no longer struggled with the natural environment every day to survive. , therefore, King Wen’s acquired gossip is headed by Qianfu, Kunmu, and focuses on the development and changes of humanistic relationships, so it is called acquired gossip)
Illustration: The process of the cycle of the innate gossip diagram can be divided into forward and reverse, that is, " From one to four, in the counterclockwise direction, the order is Qian, Dui, Li, and Zhen. Qian symbolizes the sky at the top. From five to eight, in the clockwise direction, the order is Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun. Gua. Kunxiang ground is at the bottom, that is, in the north." ("The Vernacular Book of Changes") There are two ways of operating the Xiantian Ba ??Gua. In this diagram, counterclockwise from one to four, and clockwise from five to eight, an S line is formed. Therefore, it is represented by the two fishes of yin and yang. In addition: Qigong reverse cultivation theory system uses this picture.
3. Diagram of the mutual generation and opposition of the Bagua
Illustration: The innate Bagua governs the generation. In the picture, "Zhen Xun is a Qi (object, five elements of wood), dry metal generates Kanshui, Gen earth generates gold, and fire generates Kun earth." ("A Brief Introduction to the Book of Changes") Zhen Xun is a wood in the five elements, Zhen is a yang, Xun is a yin, so it is Qi. The stem is gold and the ridge is water, so the stem metal generates kanshui. Gen is earth, and Dui is gold, so Gen soil is born and Dui gold is born. Li is fire and Kun is earth, so Li fire creates Kun earth. (Note: The Five Elements were made by later generations, and there is no theory of the Five Elements in the Innate Bagua.)
Illustration: The hexagrams are opposite, "The three yangs of Qian and the three yins of Kun are a pair, and the fullness in Kan and the emptiness in Li are They are a pair, Zhen Chu Yang and Xun Chu Yin are a pair, Gen Mo Yang and Dui Mo Yin are a pair." In terms of personnel, it shows the opposition between the old and the old, and the young and the young. The old man faces the old woman, the eldest man faces the eldest daughter, the middle man faces the middle woman, and the young boy faces the young girl.
4. Yin-Yang Growth and Decline Diagram
Illustration: The anode produces yin, the cathode produces yang, and yin and yang wax and wane. Kun goes clockwise to Qian Yang, grows Yin and disappears, and Qian Yang reaches its peak.
