Topic of this section: Tenkan: A

From today onwards, I will officially start teaching eight-character numerology, before I start speaking, I have to say a few words briefly, I don't have too much nonsense in my lectures, the reason is that my language expression skills are not strong, and my writing skills are OK, so I don't have to worry about my nagging and nonsense when listening to my class.

If you intend to learn the eight characters, or want to understand the eight characters by listening to lectures, then you must pay attention to my previous chapters, starting from the most basic part of learning, from the top of the building, the foundation is the most important, the basic things must be remembered, these knowledge is very important in the future application, the more solid the previous knowledge memory, the more skilled the later application, the more handy, there will be no napping phenomenon.

Now I also want to talk about the classification of traditional Chinese culture, why I have repeatedly emphasized the problem of cultural classification, the reason is that contemporary Chinese culture is looking westward, if you can't prove the affiliation of a certain culture, then this culture can't be taught to people who are interested in learning, but can only be secretly noisy and spread privately. At present, there are two main parts of classical Chinese culture, one is empirical logic, and the other is abstract logic.

Due to the deep influence of ancient traditional political culture, the main component of Chinese classical culture is empirical logic, which is limited by the ancient Chinese political empirical logic and is attributed to the ancient Chinese political empirical logic, of course, it is still empirical logic, which belongs to the management culture of empirical rationality, and its main content is the empirical correct culture that regulates the people's behavior, and the empirical summary culture that uses moral reason to regulate the people's behavior. In ancient China, there was no civilian culture, or there was little civilian culture, and the focus of ancient Chinese classical culture was that "those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world should rule their country first, those who want to govern their country should first gather their families, those who want to unify their families should first cultivate their bodies, those who want to cultivate their bodies should first correct their hearts, those who want to correct their hearts should first be sincere in their intentions, and those who want to be sincere in their intentions should first know and know in Gewu." Character and then know, know and then sincerity, sincerity and then heart, heart and then body cultivation, body cultivation and then family Qi, family Qi and then national governance, national governance and then the world is peaceful. That is: Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world.

When a culture only stands on the basis of empirical thinking and does not develop logical thinking, history does not exist, development is only a repeated repetition of the track, and the change of dynasties is just a repetition of history, then this kind of culture has long ceased to exist, and only forms exist.

The culture that aims completely at "home, country, and the world" naturally attaches importance to empirical logical thinking, and selectively identifies empirically correct political policies to unite the family, govern the country, and level the world. Naturally, they don't care much about the things in the hearts of the people, so the soul, truth, goodness, beauty, logical thinking, and other ideological things that Western philosophy is concerned about are not advocated by the traditional political culture of ancient China.

Traditional Chinese political culture is concerned with how to drive the people into the sheepfold, draw the ground as a prison, and develop culture from the perspective of facilitating the ruler's rule, so the ancient Chinese traditional political culture is to arrange, list, and summarize the culture of correct political behavior from the past political experience to govern the world.

However, Chinese folk culture, such as medical treatment and fate, and other cultures have more of the cultural spirit of philosophical logical thinking, and traditional Chinese medicine and numerology are rich in concrete, listed, sorted, compared, analyzed, criticized, reasoned, demonstrated, summarized, synthesized, evaluated, formed, logical and other philosophical thinking methods, the reason is that the Book of Changes itself is a study of strict logical thinking, so the subsidiary cultural products derived from it are also the most qualified to belong to the category of philosophy.

Now I want to talk about the ten characters of Gantian, A, B, C, D, Penhectogeng, Xin, Ren, and De, which are cultural products rich in objective and logical thinking such as concepts, judgments, and reasoning. These ten characters abstractly summarize the ancient Chinese's understanding of the nature of heaven and earth, and through observation, concreteness, analysis, comparison, judgment and reasoning, they constitute the Chinese's unique logical thinking of understanding nature.

1. The first of the ten heavenly stems, A.

"Three Lives Meeting" says: Jiamu is the head of the ten stems, ruling the four seasons and giving birth to all things. In the sky for the thunder for the dragon, in the ground for the beam for the building, called the yang wood.

"Dripping Heavenly Marrow Compendium" says: The wood towers to the sky, and the rebirth needs fire; spring does not tolerate gold, autumn does not allow earth; fire rides a dragon, and water rides a tiger; the earth moistens the sky and is planted through the ages.

"Yuanhai Ziping" said: Jiamu Tiangan is the first row, and there are no branches, leaves and roots. If you want to survive in heaven and earth for thousands of years, you will be buried in the sand and mud. The gold of the pillars was cut off, and it turned into a charcoal fire. Stupid and inorganic, a spring and autumn self-exchange.

This is the previous characterization of the meaning of A. The first of the ten heavenly stems of Jia, its meaning is that A is a yang wood, a metaphor for trees, growth can be green shade of the sun, death can be the material of the pillars;

"Heaven and earth are solved and thunderstorms are made, thunderstorms are made and white fruit plants and trees are all Jia", the sky, the earth, and the space are ventilated, the wind rises and the clouds surge, the thunderstorm ravages the earth, and the earth grows out of the hundred fruit plants and trees, which are all species separated from the "A".

This is easy to understand, the ancient Chinese abstractly summarized "Jia" as a general term for a hundred fruits and plants, using A to represent all flowers and trees, representing the wood of pure yang, which can reach the sky or cover the earth, born in spring, better than summer, died in autumn, hidden in winter, and recuperated in four seasons. Get fire and be reborn, life and death have a fate, ride the dragon to the sky, and the pillars are eternal. Get water, ride a tiger recklessly, crisscross thousands of miles, and expand the territory.

A, the head of the ten heavenly stems, Ren Tieqiao said a very clear and practical text about "A" when commenting on "Dripping Heavenly Marrow", he said: "A is a pure yang wood, the body is strong, towering to the sky, and extremely majestic. Born in the early spring, the wood is tender and cold, and the fire is glorious; born in the middle of spring, the momentum of the boom, it is advisable to vent its elite, the so-called strong wood gets fire, and the party turns its stubbornness. Born in autumn, it will decline when it is lost, but although the branches and leaves are withered and thinned, the root gas is converged and issued, and the soil of the recipient is defeated, and the autumn soil is deflated, and the most thin is the soil of the void air, and the wood of the attack is encountered, and the root of the wood can not be cultivated, and it will be dumped instead, so the autumn is not allowed to be soiled. In the pillar of Yin Wuwu Quan, and through the propylene Ding, not only the deflated is too much, and the wood is burned, it is advisable to sit on Chen, Chen is a reservoir, its soil is wet, the wet soil can give birth to wood to vent fire, the so-called fire is blazing by the dragon; If the gold is not sharp, the soil is not dry, the fire is not hot, and the water is not crazy, it will not be planted for eternity and immortality!"

Jiamu summary: A, Yu wood, can be a big tree, can also be a flower, can be a towering tree, can also be a spring flower everywhere, Shuofeng grass. Death can be a pillar of support, or it can be a pillar of the elite, a man and a woman. Jiamu, immortal in Hai, Linguan in Yin, died at noon and the tomb was not in the future, absolutely Shen Muzi, listening to the rain in the wind and winter and spring, and life and death should be due in summer and autumn. Jiamu Linhai water is long and prosperous; Linzi water bathes in clouds and rain, yin and yang are combined; Linchou land nourishes water and moistens gold, which is uniquely endowed with official promotion, and the cause is prosperous; Linyin land, Linguan is lulu, the root is nourished, the momentum is prosperous, and the longevity and health are blessed. In the land, the emperor is prosperous, men are not powerful, women are not bullied, and they are extremely sad, crying and complaining. Descending from the trend, he died at noon and died in the future, mourning and wailing, and the wilderness was not grassy.
