astronomy

"Tian Zi Xun in Huainan" talks about the origin and evolution of heaven and earth, and holds that before heaven and earth are divided, after chaos is divided, those who are light and clear ascend to heaven, and those who are heavy and turbid condense into soil; The sky is yang and the earth is yin, and the two gases interact to produce everything. It can be seen that Yin and Yang are two basic states of matter, which are transformed into each other in the process of continuous movement. The ancients believed that yin and yang were the basis of macro-matter formation.

"Yi Cohesion": "It is easy to have Tai Chi, which is the second instrument." Kong's Ying Da Shu: "If you don't talk about heaven and earth, the two devices refer to their things; The bottom is opposite to the four images (gold, fire, water and wood), so it is called two vessels, which means two bodies contain vessels. "Lu Chunqiu Da Le": "Taiyi was born to ~ ~, and ~ ~ was born to Yin and Yang. "Jin Shuzhi Jade Biography": "If you test two instruments, there is no hiding in the world; If you are right for three days, there is no room for absurdity. "The third fold of the fifth volume of Wang Shifu's The West Chamber in the Yuan Dynasty:" On the same day, the three talents began to judge, and the second instrument was divided; Gan Kun: Those who are clear are dry, those who are turbid are Kun, and people are mixed in. " Jin Yi's view of literature and art: "Look up and be ignorant, look down and make a chapter, locate the height, so the second instrument comes into being." "

Monarch parents

"The Charm of Confucianism and Lu in the Old Tang Dynasty": "Princess Youanle inherits the benefits of two instruments and follows the foundation of Fulu. Zhinan Mountain lives in Tin Year and always looks up to Beichen. "

Refers to yin and yang

Men and women

Lu Xun's Wandering High: "Fairy also disapproves of women's education, and thinks that confusing two instruments is not what Heaven and Cao Cao like."

The word "two vessels" in classical Chinese means "two appearances of planets", which represents the vague and abstract understanding of the stars in the universe in ancient China. Originated from the ancient people's view of nature in China. The ancients observed various opposing and related natural phenomena in nature, such as heaven and earth, sun and moon, day and night, cold and heat, men and women, up and down, etc. And summed up the concept of "Yin and Yang" through philosophical thinking. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Yin and Yang were mentioned in Yi Zhuan and Lao Zi's Tao Te Ching. The theory of Yin and Yang has penetrated into all aspects of China's traditional culture, including religion, philosophy, calendar, Chinese medicine, calligraphy, architecture, geomantic omen, divination and so on. Yin and Yang are a division or subdivision of "unity of opposites or contradictory relationship", and they are species relations.

The two instruments are the sun and the lunar instrument, which means that the lunar instrument and the sun give birth to four images: the four images are Tai Chi in the east, south, west and north, the two instruments give birth to four images, and the four images give birth to gossip and everything.

2. What are the concepts of two instruments? The word "two vessels" in classical Chinese means "two appearances of planets", which represents the vague and abstract understanding of the stars in the universe in ancient China.

During the Big Bang, most of the high-temperature burning materials were pushed outside by powerful shock waves. Because these substances were magnetic before BIGBANG, the substances pushed outside gathered together in different positions in space, and their surfaces cooled rapidly, forming large and small planets.

The sun keeps burning in the center of space, emitting light and heat in all directions. Planets of all sizes in space are spheres. Because of these two objective reasons, every planet has two faces, one facing the sun and the other facing away from the sun. The side facing away from the sun is called "Yang" and the side facing away from the sun is called "Yin". Ancient sages called these two faces "two devices" in classical Chinese.

Because of the magnetic field, every planet in space rotates around the earth's axis, and the rotation adds yin and yang, so there is a phenomenon of alternating day and night.

The sun in the center of space keeps burning, giving off light and heat, which makes every planet in space have yin and yang. Ancient sages called this process "Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments".

Originated from the ancient people's view of nature in China. The ancients observed various opposing and related natural phenomena in nature, such as heaven and earth, sun and moon, day and night, cold and heat, men and women, up and down, etc.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Yin and Yang were mentioned in Yi Zhuan and Lao Zi's Tao Te Ching. The theory of Yin and Yang has penetrated into all aspects of China's traditional culture, including religion, philosophy, calendar, Chinese medicine, calligraphy, architecture, geomantic omen, divination and so on. Yin and Yang are the division or subdivision of "unity of opposites or contradictory relationship". These philosophical thoughts and ideas still have a wide influence today.

Extended data

"Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, and two instruments give birth to four images" first came from the Book of Changes. Bagua is the basic philosophical concept of ancient people in China, and it is the ancient theory of Yin and Yang. The so-called gossip is the eight diagrams, and the gossip was drawn by the Fuxi family of Taihao, which is Fuxi. Gossip is actually the earliest writing and a symbol of writing. It is a tool in China culture, which integrates Yin and Yang and five elements, and deduces the relationship between various things in world time and space.

Yi zhuan copula upload: "It is easy to have Tai Chi, that is, two instruments give birth to four images, and four images give birth to eight diagrams." Kong Ying Da said: "Tai Chi means that before the heavens and the earth are divided, the vitality is mixed into one, that is, the beginning and the beginning."

The whole passage means that all things and phenomena in the vast universe contain yin and yang, as well as inside and outside. But they are both antagonistic and interdependent, which is the general law of the material world, the procedure and origin of many things, and the fundamental reason for the emergence and destruction of things.

The way of heaven and earth creates everything with yin and yang. Heaven and earth, sun and moon, thunder and lightning, wind and rain, four o'clock, before noon, and male, rigid and soft, dynamic and static, obvious convergence, everything, regardless of yin and yang. The truth of life is that yin and yang nourish hundreds of skeletons. Meridian, flesh and blood, abdomen and back, five internal organs, six internal organs, and even seven damages and eight benefits are incompatible with yin and yang.

This theory has been established for two or three thousand years and is still describing Vientiane for people. There is an interactive relationship between man and nature. People are related to heaven and earth, corresponding to the sun and the moon. The news of the profit and loss of one body is related to heaven and earth and should be related to things.

Infinity begets Tai Chi-the beginning of the nameless world.

Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments-the mother of all things (one dimension).

Two instruments produce four images-two dimensions.

Four images give birth to eight diagrams-three dimensions.

Taiji gives birth to the second instrument, which is the first change of the fundamental power of the universe. After this change is completed, a first-class "Yin" and a first-class "Yang" are produced. But "Yin" and "Yang" still have the function of Yin and Yang, and will continue to evolve.

Thus, the first-class "Yin" produces "Yin in Yin"-Taiyin, "Yang in Yin"-Shaoyang; The first level of "yang" produces "yin in the yang"-less yin and "yang in the yang"-the sun. Taiyin, Shaoyang, Shaoyin and Sun are the secondary combinations of Yin and Yang, collectively called "Four Elephants". This process is called "two instruments give birth to four images". Four images are the basic elements of the second level.

Baidu Encyclopedia-Taiji gives birth to two instruments, and two instruments give birth to four images.

7. Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to gossip, and gossip gives birth to sixty-four. In Tai Chi, two kinds of instruments produce Tai Chi infinitely (none).

Taiji gives birth to two devices (life two, yin and yang)

The two instruments give birth to four images (shaoyang, sun, shaoyin and Taiyin, which correspond to the southeast and northwest in turn, and also correspond to the wood fire and golden water in the five elements, with the soil as the center)

The Eight Diagrams of Four Elephants (Kunkan Genkun, Ganduili Town, counting as 12345678). There is a formula to remember gossip: do it three times, Kun six times, shake the bowl, cover the bowl, leave the middle empty, the ridge is full, exchange the upper gap, and break the lower half)

Eight diagrams give birth to sixty-four hexagrams (two eight diagrams are superimposed up and down to form sixty-four hexagrams)

There are too many hexagrams, just to give a few examples: "the line is the sky" hexagrams (both the upper and lower hexagrams are good, this phenomenon is called re-doing. Dry represents heaven), "Heaven and earth are without" and "Heaven and earth are peaceful" (the idiom "nothing" is the source of great happiness, and heaven and earth are upside down to describe great changes. Dry represents the sky, Kun represents the earth), and the name of the hexagram is "Zefeng is greater than the wind" (exchange Zefeng, exchange wind, exchange wind, that is, Zefeng is greater than the wind).

The location of gossip:

Now they all use gossip the day after tomorrow.

The orientation of the acquired gossip is just the opposite of "up north, down south, left west, right east". Even if you forget, as long as you know that the earthquake belongs to wood, you will know that the earthquake is located in the east and far from the fire, so it can be located in the south.

The day after tomorrow gossip hand kneading method:

I don't know what your needs are. There should be only the following two situations:

First, you are interested in the sixty-four hexagrams. I suggest you buy the book of changes, that is, the book of changes, as well as books that illustrate and explain the book of changes.

Second, you are interested in divination. I suggest you buy an introductory explanation of Zhouyi and a special book on divination, such as The Book of Changes of Plum Blossoms. I have a plum blossom easy to count, although it is in classical Chinese, but it is easy to understand, and I don't need diagrams or anything. Just read the original text.

The last article was written in January. Today, I saw someone leave a message to remind me that I like it. I want to add two sentences.

19. 10.6 modified:

I went to the bookstore some time ago to catch up with selling second-hand goods. At the price of 2 18, 40 yuan obtained a set of 20 10 edition of the book of changes. The only drawback is that the shell is a little worn.

Happy.

8. What is the basic concept of "two devices and four images" 1 two devices? The word "two devices" means "two appearances of planets" in classical Chinese, which represents the vague and abstract understanding of the stars in the universe of ancient China.

Originated from the ancient people's view of nature in China. The ancients observed various opposing and related natural phenomena in nature, such as heaven and earth, sun and moon, day and night, cold and heat, men and women, up and down, etc. And summed up the concept of "Yin and Yang" in a philosophical way of thinking.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Yin and Yang were mentioned in Yi Zhuan and Lao Zi's Tao Te Ching. The theory of Yin and Yang has penetrated into all aspects of China's traditional culture, including religion, philosophy, calendar, Chinese medicine, calligraphy, architecture, divination and so on.

Yin and Yang are a division or subdivision of "unity of opposites or contradictory relationship", and they are species relations. 2. Four Elephants: In the early culture of China, the four elephants refer to Lao Yang, Shaoyin, Shaoyang and Laoyin in The Book of Changes, and also refer to the natural weather of the four seasons. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, it gradually referred to Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu, which originated from the ancient belief in stars and represented the stars in the east, west, south and north respectively. It was also called the Four Gods, the Four Celestial Spirits and the Four Holy Generals.

9. Infinity begets Tai Chi, Tai Chi begets two instruments, two instruments begets four elephants, and four elephants begets gossip. Eight diagrams play with the Book of Changes: "It is easy to have Tai Chi, and two instruments are born." Tai Chi is the state before heaven and earth opened and chaos divided into yin and yang.

These two instruments are the yin and yang instruments of Tai Chi. "Biography of Cohesion" also said, "Two instruments give birth to four images, and four images give birth to gossip." .

This means that all things and phenomena in the vast universe include both yin and yang, as well as inside and outside. But they are both antagonistic and interdependent, which is the general law of the material world, the procedure and origin of many things, and the fundamental reason for the emergence and destruction of things.

The way of heaven and earth creates everything with yin and yang. Heaven and earth, sun and moon, thunder and lightning, wind and rain, four o'clock, before noon, and male, rigid and soft, dynamic and static, obvious convergence, everything, regardless of yin and yang.

The truth of life is that yin and yang nourish hundreds of skeletons. Meridian, flesh and blood, abdomen and back, five internal organs, six internal organs, and even seven damages and eight benefits are incompatible with yin and yang.

This theory has been established for two or three thousand years and is still describing Vientiane for people.

10. What are these two instruments? To put it more vividly, please imagine:

At first, there was nothing at first.-Infinity.

Suddenly one day, for some unknown reason, a point appeared-Tai Chi.

After that, no matter how you add a point, there will be one direction, positive and negative-two instruments.

Then, nature has four directions-four elephants.

If it is divided, it will be divided into southeast, northeast and so on-gossip.

So push,-Sixty-four hexagrams

And then:-all kinds of things were born.

This truth is also found in China's extensive and profound martial arts, if you are lucky enough to meet a reclusive master.
