Lecture 1: What is eight-character numerology

Eight-character numerology is a cultural product derived from the Book of Changes, an inseparable part of traditional Chinese culture, and a typical piece of knowledge contributed by the Chinese nation to human civilization.

The full name of Bazi is Bazi Numerology, also known as Four-Pillar Prediction. Its application tool is the ancient Chinese people's chronological method, that is, the chronological method of composing sixty jiazi with the heavenly stems and earthly branches. Numerology is a discipline classified from ancient Chinese mathematics, numerology is a single deduce the law of changes and development of human life, derived from the "Book of Changes" school of mathematics, but its theory tends to be similar to the school of righteousness, attaches importance to reasoning, dialectic, abstraction and other logical methods to analyze a person's life destiny.

Eight-character numerology first appeared in the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, which was originally invented and applied to human diseases by Chinese medicine scientists, and its method is to use the sexagenary branch of a person's birth time to deduce human diseases, and to infer a person's physical changes by calculating the relationship between the five elements of the sexagenary branch in the birthdate, so as to affirm what disease the person has, how the condition is, and so on. After a period of applied medical theorists, they found that the use of Bazi to infer human diseases was too abstract, and they could not affirm the disease, and if they could not determine the disease, of course, they could not use medicine, and it was not convenient to generalize, so they gave up the method of using the sexagenary branch to deduce human diseases.

But this method abandoned by the medical therapists, but the numerologists found that there is a usable place, can abstractly deduce the fate of life, to the Northern and Southern Dynasties period numerology began to appear in the embryonic form, into the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuzhong summed up the invention of the three-pillar prediction technique, according to a person's birth date, the three pillars of the heavenly stem and the earth to calculate the wealth and longevity, good fortune and misfortune of his life.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Xu Ziping added the time pillar on the basis of the three pillars of fortune-telling of the year, month and day, and evolved into the four-pillar prediction method of year, month, day and hour. Because there are a total of eight characters in the sexagenary branch, it is also called the eight-character prediction method, which is today's eight-character numerology. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the eight-character numerology tended to mature, popularized the government and the opposition, and swept the world, forming today's numerology.

As a result, the later eight-character numerology completely covered up the eight-character medical science and became an independent science, but the eight-character medical science withdrew from the academic stage, gradually faded out of the knowledge interface, and became unknown. Therefore, anyone who is familiar with the eight characters of yin and yang also understands the medical theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and the physicians who are also familiar with traditional Chinese medicine also understand the truth of the eight characters.

Numerology is similar to Western psychology and belongs to the category of abstract logic, which is a discipline that uses the methods of logic to judge, dialectic, and reason about the common laws in human destiny. It's just that numerology is a science that uses the calculation method of mathematics to calculate the law of movement and change of a person's life from birth to death with eight characters as the carrier. To put it simply, numerology is the study of human behavioral tendencies.

Numerology is more direct than psychology in inferring human behavior and psychological changes, and is much more mature than Western psychology in terms of empirical logic, which is the empirical knowledge accumulated by ancient Chinese over countless generations, so there are aspects beyond psychology in terms of accuracy, concept, judgment and reasoning. Therefore, when Chinese encounter psychological or life problems, most of them will find numerologists to find out the root cause and answer questions, and the popularity of psychology is not high.

This situation will continue to develop, one day numerology may cover up the popularization of psychology to the world, become a worldwide science, this reason is very simple, just because numerology in practical application, can simply and clearly solve many problems that psychology can not solve, solve some practical problems in human life, become a science for the benefit of the people of the world, it is only a matter of time.

Numerology is not superstition, do not simply regard numerology as superstition, forced suppression, and restrict its development, but should be guided to develop in the direction of a formal science with an open attitude. The reason why Western culture can march into the world and become the world's temple culture is that Westerners do not restrict the development of ideology and culture, and academically guide ideology and culture to develop in concepts, judgments, and reasoning, leaving behind the excellent and eliminating the inferior, and finally cultivating any kind of culture that is beneficial to the development of human civilization into a temple culture for future generations to learn and apply.

That's where the wisdom of Westerners comes in.
