According to legend, Taiji Bagua Map was initiated by Fu, an ancient sage, and it was recorded and explained in detail in Zhouyi, the Five Classics. The ancients thought: Infinity begets Tai Chi, Tai Chi begets two instruments, two instruments begets four images, four images begets eight diagrams, and eight diagrams begets sixty-four hexagrams, which is the basic theory of Tai Chi's transformation into eight diagrams. Taiji diagram is an important image in the study of Yijing, so it is also called Yi Tu.
The origin of Taiji diagram is very early. It is said that the ancient Tai Chi map was painted on pottery more than 3000 years ago or earlier in the Xia and Shang Dynasties. There is an S-shaped curve in the circle, and the black and white yin and yang points are added later. Today's Tai Chi map is generally considered to be made by Zhou Dunyi in the Northern Song Dynasty. China's ancient Taiji Eight Diagrams have made many contributions to modern science. German mathematician Leibniz is the founder of modern electronic computer binary system. He was inspired and helped by China's ancient Taiji Eight Diagrams, and he had a brainwave and succeeded in one fell swoop.
In the late autumn of 170 1, he was painstakingly studying the instrument. French missionary friends sent him the preface map of Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams and the orientation map of Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams from Beijing. Leibniz was greatly inspired by these two pictures. He found that gossip was the embryonic form of hieroglyphics, which changed from Kungua to Kungua. The "-"in gossip is called Yang, which is equivalent to binary "1", and the "_ _" in gossip is called Yin, which is equivalent to binary "0". Sixty-four hexagrams are complete binary numbers of 64 natural numbers from 0 to 63. In mathematics, gossip belongs to the eighth-order matrix.
China's unique ancient Taiji Eight Diagrams indeed has profound philosophy, but there are more and more mysteries about it: Who created Taiji Eight Diagrams? Inspired by what? What are the functions of Taiji Eight Diagrams? Why create such a picture?
What is Tai Chi? Too meaningful; Extreme extreme, that is, in terms of limit, has no similar meaning. It includes both extreme principles and extreme limitations of time and space. Putting it down is the six in one, and the volume is hidden in the heart. It can be greater than any amount but not beyond the circumference and space, or less than any amount but not equal to zero or zero. This is the meaning of Tai Chi. Taiji diagram is an important image to study the principle of Zhouyi, which contains the * * * nature of everything in the world.
However, due to the shift and transformation of Yin and Yang, different images appear in Taiji diagram. In the congenital eight diagrams, Kun Zhen is the left, Kun is the mother, the score is the female, and the inverse three strings are the female. All three are yin, only one string shakes, so the male is yang. Therefore, the left side of the Taiji diagram is black, and the white dots in black indicate that there is yang in the yin. Gan Xun is right. He is the father.
The Taiji diagram drawn by the gossip the day after tomorrow is in the opposite direction to that drawn by innate gossip. "Tai Chi vitality, including three as one", why? From the Taiji diagram, we can draw a conclusion that the circle of Taiji diagram represents one, the universe and infinity. Tai Chi exists, and there is no promise; Taiji is three, and infinity is one. The black and white color of the image represents yin and yang, heaven and earth; The boundary between black and white is the division of yin and yang between heaven and earth. Black dots on a white background indicate that there is yin in yang, and white dots on a black background indicate that there is yang in yin. Tao gives birth to one, which means infinite gives birth to Tai Chi. Life two is Tai Chi giving birth to two instruments; Two gives birth to three, which is a sympathetic combination of yin and yang; Everything is born with three, that is, Tai Chi contains three as one, because everything is transformed from Yin and Yang, so everything has a Tai Chi, that is to say, Tai Chi not only includes two aspects of Yin and Yang, but also includes the boundaries and standards for dividing Yin and Yang. In short, each hexagram has three hexagrams, which also represents the three talents of heaven and earth, and is also the image of three as one. There are yin and yang in the sky, yin and yang in the earth and yin and yang in people. The yin and yang of the earth plus the midpoint of the boundary constitute a three-in-one Tai Chi image; People's yin and yang, like men and women, also have their own demarcation standards, so everything has its own Tai Chi, which also exists according to the law of three in one. The universe is infinite, so it is called Tai Chi, but the universe is tangible, that is, it has substantive content. According to the Yi-ology, tangible things come from the intangible, so Tai Chi is infinite. The entity of Taiji is infinite, that is, the universe is moving, and movement produces Yang. When moving to a certain extent, it becomes relatively static, and static produces yin. With such a movement, the qi of Yin and Yang is fundamental to each other and runs in infinity. The same is true of nature. The growth of yin and yang in the four seasons, that is, the growth law of all things, includes yin and yang and five elements. As far as human yin and yang are concerned, "the avenue becomes a man, and Kun Dao becomes a woman". Yin and yang intersect and everything changes, and everything is born according to this law. So, the changes are endless. These contents put forward three programs, that is, the way to establish heaven, the way to cultivate people and the way to educate people, that is, the way of three talents, that is, the so-called "six movements and three poles."
Taiji diagram is an important image to study the principle of Zhouyi. Too meaningful; Extremely limited, that is to say, as for limited, it doesn't mean equal. It includes not only extreme principles, but also time and space restrictions from big to small. If you let it go, you will be six in one, and the volume will be hidden in your heart. It can be greater than any quantity but not beyond the circumference and space, or less than any quantity and not equal to zero or zero. These are the meanings of Tai Chi.
The so-called Tao gives birth to one, two, three and three things; That is, infinity gives birth to Tai Chi, Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, and Yin and Yang combine to give birth to everything.
The universe is infinite, so it is called Tai Chi, but the universe is tangible, that is, it has substantial content. According to the viewpoint of Yi-ology, tangible things come from the intangible, so they are infinite, which is Tai Chi. Taiji is a dynamic entity, that is, the universe is moving. When it moves to a certain extent, it becomes relatively static, and when it is static, it produces Yin. So when it moves and stands still, Yin and Yang are the root of each other and run in infinity.
The same is true of nature. The growth set of yin and yang in the four seasons of cold and summer, that is, the growth law of everything, includes yin and yang and five elements. As far as yin and yang are concerned, "the avenue becomes a man, and Kun Dao becomes a woman." Yin and yang are combined, and everything is born. Everything is born according to this law, so it changes endlessly. These contents put forward three schemes, namely, the way of establishing heaven, the way of standing on the ground and the way of educating people, that is, the way of three talents, which is the so-called "six moves and three poles."
The Chinese version of Zhouyi's mathematical monograph has a new interpretation of Taiji diagram: extreme pole, hidden image of fire and water, and yin and yang. Water is impure, fire is impure, yang is impure, and yin is impure. Gas contains quality, gas reservoir is in quality, gas quality is mixed and intangible. The so-called extreme is the beginning of everything. As shown in the above figure, using the vertical arrangement of twelve hexagrams of Yin and Yang to represent the Taiji diagram can more accurately express the meaning of "Tai Chi is easy to have, that is, two instruments are born, two instruments are born with four images, and four images are born with eight diagrams" in Yi Zhuan.
