The mystery of the Eight Diaos

For a long time, people have always thought that gossip and Yijing are the products of the same era-at most, they are different by centuries; It is two components of a thing (graphics and words); This is a book about divination. Actually, it is not. The Book of Changes and Eight Diagrams cannot be integrated, but their contents and functions are different. There are many controversies about the date of the Book of Changes, but there is no dispute that it was written before the Warring States Period. We might as well start a problem in this regard. At that time, society was in the alternate period of slavery and feudalism. The level of social productive forces is extremely low, and the knowledge of natural science is extremely poor. People's understanding of nature is very superficial, and it is often difficult to understand its essence only by seeing phenomena. Only by relying on supernatural ghosts and gods to expand wisdom and solve doubts, and asking God for divination has become the basic means for the world to predict the future, and many divination models and methods have been created. In this social practice of divination, people found the effect of divination with gossip, making gossip research a major social "scientific research topic" at that time. The government and the people act together and expand in many fields at the same time. A number of "research achievements" appeared, which provided superior social conditions and rich contents for the emergence of the Book of Changes. Bagua diagram is a model diagram of the universe, which reveals or expresses the composition and evolution of the universe, and its simplicity has reached an unprecedented level. No matter from the field it covers and the amount of knowledge it contains, or from the depth and accuracy of its knowledge, it not only far exceeds the sum of human knowledge in the Warring States period, but also far exceeds the sum of human knowledge today, not to mention the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Yellow Emperor and the Fuxi era. Describing it as a product before the Warring States period, its knowledge and historical limitations are too different. In addition, according to ancient records, "the palm method has changed three times: one is lianshan, the other is returning to Tibet, and the third is Zhouyi". It can be seen that gossip is not only unique to the Book of Changes, but also existed before it. In addition, judging from the research status of the two, the context of the Book of Changes has been basically clear, but the eight diagrams are still obscure. All these prove that I ching and gossip can't be integrated. Gossip has spread all over Cang Sang, and in the long history, it has been rubbed into the dregs of superstition, so it is not surprising that this pearl has been mixed into fish. It is understandable to push it to the level of divination works. Unfortunately, for a long time after entering the modern society, all these were still classified as "superstitions", and their research and development were restricted. Superstition is unscientific and even deceptive. Even if it can cause a temporary shock under certain historical conditions, it is impossible to deceive the world so far. The reason why gossip and the Book of Changes are handed down from generation to generation must contain a reasonable core-gossip reveals the law of the objective universe, and the Book of Changes expounds this law to a certain extent. At the end of the slave society, the Eight Diagrams combined with the historical conditions at that time produced the Book of Changes, which became the core of a divination monograph. Under the modern historical conditions, gossip shows the essence of its universe model. This is a historical necessity. With the deepening of the research on gossip, it is bound to end with the emergence of a new view of the universe, so that human beings can completely get rid of the shackles of "people-centered" and begin to expand their understanding of the whole universe in all directions. Who created gossip? The answer can only be: it is by no means the result of the residents of our unitary earth (from generation to extinction, called unitary). Does this answer fall into nothingness and mystery again? No, since we earthlings with only a few thousand years of civilization can send "earth envoys" (referring to Pioneer 10 and Voyager spacecraft) to send information such as "business cards" and "records" of earthlings to distant space, why can't other interstellar civilizations send gossip to the earth? What's more, as a diagram of the general laws of the universe, gossip is easier to translate and read than the information sent by people on earth. Moreover, are there still few remains of prehistoric civilization and super-era civilization found all over the world? Of course, these relics, including the eight diagrams, are not necessarily left by aliens, but may also be the works of the last Yuan people. Because in the 4.7 billion years of the earth's history, the history of our earthlings is only a short moment-even from the beginning of Homo erectus, it is only 3 million years. In order to illustrate the proportional relationship between our history and the history of the earth more vividly, we compressed the history of the earth to one year. Then, Homo erectus appeared in the evening (12,31) on the last day of this year (18: 24: 29). In the long time before this, it is entirely possible that other advanced civilizations have appeared on the earth. Bagua diagram is a set of symbol system to explain the laws of the universe, cosmic matter and its laws of motion, and it is the epitome of the integrity of the universe. First, let's look at the static and intuitive meanings of these symbols. Circle-represents the whole universe. In reality, this "circle" does not exist, but a graphic symbol used to express the wholeness of the universe. It is three-dimensional. Explain that the universe is infinite and closed at the same time, and there is no "vacuum" in the universe. It is "infinite" and "closed", which seems absurd. The reason why we think it is "contradiction" is because we are imprisoned by "convention". Please imagine, in our conventional understanding, which "closed body" is really closed? A table, an atom and a black hole are all "closed bodies" in the routine. However, they are always exchanging energy with the outside world. Only "infinity" can truly become a closed body. Since it is "infinite", there must be big and small, and of course there will be no edges and corners. It is most appropriate to use a circle to represent it. As a special whole, the universe, like a monster, shows many special properties, which are beyond the understanding of convention and convention. Therefore, predecessors used a very abstract name to call it ── "Tai Chi". Taiji is a universe, not a "pre-universe" state, because there is no "pre-universe" in the universe (see the previous article "The Origin of the Universe"). Black and white in the circle-representing the two most primitive and basic "material components" that make up the universe, are the smallest "components" that make up matter and are inseparable. We call them "pre-matter" (or the basic elements of matter). They are the origin of all kinds of cosmic matter, and it is they that constitute the universe of matter. In this sense, they represent the basic properties of all cosmic substances. Black represents yin and white represents yang, which are represented by symbols "-"and "-"respectively. The name is "stubborn". They "rise" to form matter. Three-way representation is the simplest representation and can only be three-way representation. Later, six hexagrams and sixty-four hexagrams were added, which were developed by fortune tellers on the basis of gossip according to the needs of divination. It has nothing to do with this article, so I won't study it in detail. The above symbols represent the physical content of the universe, and other symbols are "explanations" of the physical content and the law of motion. The "S" ring has three meanings: one is to express the spatial characteristics of cosmic matter-three-dimensional, spherical, infinite and closed; The second is to explain the boundary characteristics of androgyny-you have me and I have you, intertwined and accompanied; The third is to express the changing law of "Yin eliminating Yang, Yang eliminating Yin, total balance and mutual evolution". "Fisheye": In addition to further emphasizing the significance of the latter two layers, it also reveals the direct relationship between Yin and Yang. Eight groups of symbols in the outer layer ── representing eight structural forms in the process of material movement. Its name is "melon". Divination, hanging, hanging and adding are not part of the universe, but are only used to explain the types, structures, constitution and movement laws of cosmic substances. After clarifying the static and intuitive meanings of symbols in gossip, we can see the profound connotation of gossip by going back to the beginning. The eight diagrams principle revealed by this set of symbols is not only applicable to the whole universe (Tai Chi), but also to all parts and levels of the universe, up to the basic components (elements) of matter. Under certain conditions, the components of yin and yang "rise", resulting in eight material forms. They are independent, interrelated and mutually restricted, forming the whole universe (see "Cosmic Matter Theory" above). From this, we also found the initial bifurcation point of the "tree of science", which is located at the base of the tree of science, from which eight branches are simultaneously divided. Looking at the whole picture of the tree from the bifurcation point, its huge crown and lush branches and leaves make the glory created by human beings look so dim and insignificant.
