Chapter 2, Virtue and Virtue
1. The serious deviation of traditional Chinese culture from the right direction began with Shao Yong
Those who know the Book of Changes know that the Book of Changes is divided into three parts, the Xia Dynasty is "Lianshan", the Shang Dynasty is "Returning to Tibet", and the Zhou Dynasty is "Zhou Yi", and it is called the Three Changes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info also knows that the I Ching plays gossip, and the legend is that Fuxi painted gossip, and then deduced the gossip of King Wen.
Zhou Yi, "Dictionaries" said, "Yi has Taiji, which is to give birth to two instruments, two instruments to give birth to four elephants, and four elephants to give birth to gossip." "One yin and one yang is the Tao. "By mathematical conversion, one two gets two, two two gets four, two four gets eight, two eight one sixteen, eight eight sixty-four... According to the Book of Changes, one yin and one yang give birth to two yi, two yi give birth to four images, and four images give birth to gossip, corresponding to time and space is the universe, the universe gives birth to heaven and earth, heaven and earth give birth to four dimensions, and the four dimensions are divided into eight images, namely Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, which respectively represent the sky, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain, and Ze, and the order is Qianyi, Dui, Li, San, Zhen, Zhen, Xun, Xun, Kan, Gan, and Kun.
But in the period of King Wen, people thought that the Fuxi gossip was a static image, dry for the dead fire, Kun for the dead water, could not move, could not be combined, and later there was King Wen in the "emperor out of the shock" theory basis, reform the gossip, the formation of the Kan hexagram as the starting point, ranked in the east. In clockwise directions, the Xun hexagram is southeast, the Lili hexagram is due south, the Kun hexagram is southwest, the Dui hexagram is due west, the Qiangua is northwest, the Kan hexagram is due north, and the Gen hexagram is northeast. If it symbolizes the solar terms, then the earthquake is the spring equinox, Xun is the beginning of summer, leaving is the summer solstice, Kun is the beginning of autumn, Dui is the autumn equinox, dry is the beginning of winter, Kan is the winter solstice, and Gen is the beginning of spring. That is, the ordinal numbers are: Kan 1, Kun 2, Zhen 3, Xun 4, 5 for the middle palace, Qian6, Dui 7, Gen 8, Li 9.
It can be seen from this that the difference between the two types of gossip is that King Wen's gossip is a nine-palace gossip with the addition of a middle palace.
The above two gossip systems formed the earliest traditional Chinese civilization, and then formed the hundred schools of thought of traditional Chinese civilization, and have continued to do so. However, in the Song Dynasty, there was a Shao Yong, and before Shao Yong, he did not distinguish between different gossip systems, and only called the gossip bitmap of "heaven and earth positioning" from one yin and one yang as the innate gossip, also known as the Fuxi gossip, and the gossip formed by Zhou Yi's "Saying Hexagram Biography" "The emperor was out of shock" is called the acquired gossip, also called the gossip of King Wen. However, Shao Yong "took the number of heaven and earth and the number of circles as the symbol of the origin of heaven and earth, and divided them into sixteen places to study the changes in the use of heaven and earth." Secondly, the odd and even number of yin and yang is used as the basis for the number of heaven and earth, and the four images of yin and yang, the eight trigrams are combined with the number of cadres and branches, and the number of changes in heaven and earth and the principle of the three days of the body are used to derive the number of animals and plants that symbolize all living beings. Thirdly, combined with the sixteen-digit number of changes in the circle of heaven and earth and the number of yin and yang, rigidity and softness, and the odd and even animal and plant numbers, as discussed in the first two parts, in order to present the number of concrete images of the operation of organisms in one body, in order to represent the popular biochemical image of all things in heaven and earth, "God Operates, Landlord Biochemistry". Again, the number of Tianxing is further subdivided into the number of Yuanhui Yunshi, so as to achieve Shao Yong's original calendar. At the same time, the number of terrestrial suppleness is further reflected in the diversity and difference of the sound of the law to express the unevenness and unevenness of animal and plant organisms. Finally, the implementation of these five types of large numbers and the bypass of all things in the natural world and the human world are used as the end of Shao Yongyi's study of the poor reason. After that, Zhu Xi's "Zhou Yi Benyi" adopted Shao Yong's theory and illustrations to form the later period of Confucianism, which deviated from the original direction of Confucianism and became the post-Confucian cultural ideological program of Cheng Zhulixue, which led the Chinese for nearly a thousand years.
Now it seems that the deviation of traditional Chinese culture from the right direction began with Shao Yong, because Zhu Xi's ideological foundation comes from Shao Yong's thought, and Shao Yong's theory of easy learning fully uses the theory of acquired gossip to form an ideological theory, and the mistake is that the Chinese after Shao Yong have begun to work gossip and the cycle of development of things, in fact, this violates the original meaning of the I Ching, and violates the actual spirit of the universe as a binary infinite extension and expansion. In modern science, the universe is a super-large space, and the energy of this hyperspace is conserved, and it is very huge, and there are many small universes in the hyperspace, and many small universes maintain their own fixed energy, and each runs its own energy between unified space, time, matter and energy.
Like the sun, "the sun is an ideal sphere intertwined with a hot plasma and a magnetic field." "The Sun is the release of nuclear energy, composed of metallic hydrogen nuclei, which self-detonate to produce energy and light to intersect and illuminate the dark matter in the solar system, including the Earth. The solar system is a small universe that runs itself between unified space, time, matter and energy, and here the sun is the theoretical condition of the "Dry Hexagram" described in the Book of Changes.
Another example is the moon, which is a spherical body composed of dark matter released by the inner core, and the moon itself does not emit light, but only reflects sunlight. Therefore, the moon is also the theoretical condition of the Bagua "kun", in the state of kun, the moon is a purely yin static image, self-moving.
Therefore, the cosmic sequence set by the innate Bagua is Qianyi, Dui2, Lisan, Zhen 4, Xun 5, Kan 6, Gen 7, and Kun 8, which is correct now, while the Kan 1, Kun 2, Zhen 3, Xun 4, and 5 envisioned by the acquired Bagua are the middle palaces, and the Qianliu, Dui, Gen, and Lijiu are popular and cyclical, and the universe in this state is in doubt.
It is precisely the acquired gossip that is heretical, suspicious, and wrong, which eventually leads to the deviation of traditional Chinese culture in the wrong direction since the 11th century, resulting in a serious deviation of traditional Chinese culture.
2. The difference between Cheng Zhu's theory of rationality and philosophical materialism
Shao Yong (1011-1077), the name Yaofu, a famous physicist, mathematician and poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, was born in Shanggangzhuang, Linxian County (now Shaokang Village, Liujiajie Village, Linzhou City, Henan, and was born in Fanyang, now Dashao Village, Zhuozhou, Hebei), and Zhou Dunyi, Zhang Zai, Cheng Hao, and Cheng Yi are called the "Five Sons of the Northern Song Dynasty".
Zhu Xi (—), the character Yuan Hui, also known as Zhong Hui, the number Hui An, the late known as Hui Weng, Zhen Wen, known as Zhu Wengong. His ancestral home was Wuyuan County, Huizhou Prefecture (now Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province), and he was born in Youxi, Nanjian Prefecture (now Youxi County, Fujian Province). The famous physicist, thinker, philosopher, educator, poet of the Song Dynasty, the representative of the Min school, and the master of Confucianism, was called Zhuzi in the world.
Zhu Xi's thought was greatly influenced by Shao Yong's thought.
Zhu Xi wrote "Zhou Yi Benyi" to promote the "Theory of Rational Qi". Zhu Xi believes that "reason" is an ideology that overrides the laws and moral standards of nature, and is a metaphysics of supernatural existence. He believes that the existence of all things in the world has a legal principle, a regularity, and an innate existence, and all these legal principles come from the way of yin and yang between heaven and earth. And "qi" is the second nature of acting according to reason, qi follows reason, qi is inseparable, but "qi" can be moved, can generate wind and thunder, divided into yin and yang, and the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) are contained in it, so that "reason" into "qi" to generate all things in the world.
Now we look at Zhu Xi's so-called "reason" is similar to the "ideology" in philosophy, but it is not "ideology", or even a false existence above "ideology", which can also be said to be an "idea" of nothingness. Because in Zhu Xi's view, "reason" exists in the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) contained in qi, yin and yang, that is to say, Zhu Xi's so-called "reason" is a kind of invisible existence of the truth, which was produced before the creation of matter, that is to say, before the creation of all things in heaven and earth, all things in heaven and earth exist in the world according to their own principles, and the reason of all things in all these things is summarized into one, which is "Taiji".
This pole of all things, "Tai Chi", is not the "ideology" in philosophy, nor is it the "material basis", but the supernatural invisible truth, the heavenly principle, which is the so-called truth and natural law that we all talk about every day, and it can also be said to be the moral standard that people keep talking. Therefore, Zhu Xi's so-called "reason" is different from "ideology", but a kind of metaphysics. Zhu Xi regarded "qi" as a substance, believing that "qi" is a form, yin and yang, and has the connotation of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth). In this way, Zhu Xi's "Theory of Rational Qi" has some rudiments of idealism in Western philosophy, but it does not have the core values of idealism, and can only be said to be similar to the idealistic thought in philosophy. Because any ideological theory that puts ideology in the first nature is inevitably idealistic thought, although Zhu Xi's theory lacks the core values of idealism, its "reason" is in the first nature, and the thinking structure of qi in the second nature is still close to idealism.
In Zhu Xi's "Theory of Rational Qi", "Li" refers to the truth, righteousness, affairs, heavenly principles, rules, etc., reason is an abstract concept, reason is not a material basis, there is an ideology similar to philosophy, but it is not an ideology, but it is a concept of nothingness like ideology, which can be understood as a kind of spiritual thing above the material base, becoming a nihilistic overriding reality, with the first nature as the theoretical basis of the ideological proposition. This found a place for modern culture for Zhu Xi's "Theory of Rational Qi".
Finding the place where the foundation of Zhu Xi's theory is located also opens a knife edge for unlocking the defects of Zhu Xi's theory, and plays a role in understanding the internal pathological physics of Zhu Xi's theory.
Judging from the actual value orientation of Zhu Xi's "Theory of Rational Qi", Zhu Xi's "Theory of Rational Qi" is not the idealism of philosophy, therefore, it does not belong to philosophy, and even the edge of philosophy is still stained, the reason is that philosophy is the study of independent study of human beings regardless of natural science, and Zhu Xi's science is a kind of learning derived from the natural science constructed by the Book of Changes, that is to say, Zhu Xi's science cannot become a study without the natural science constructed by the Book of Changes, and it is a mortal knowledge.
Therefore, that is to say, first of all, the framework theory of the I Ching structure must be correct, as long as the framework theory of the I Ching structure is correct, Zhu Xi's science is correct. On the other hand, if practice proves that Zhu Xi's theory is wrong, then Zhu Xi's ideological foundation comes from Shao Yong's theory, and Shao Yong's theory is based on acquired gossip, sequential deduction, which shows that the acquired gossip theory advocated by Shao Yong is also wrong.
In other words, the popular doctrine of acquired gossip and the cyclical theory are seriously wrong. It can also be understood in this way that there is no acquired gossip in the universe, and then there is no Hun Tian theory of Zhang Heng, so it can be deduced that there are serious cultural flaws and serious cultural defects in the Bagua of the king.
The most important reason for this is that King Wen's gossip and the Hun Tian theory have departed from the binary number principle and developed towards the evolution law of the material "popular qi". Deviating from the principle of binary mathematics, which is closed in any finite bit, but open in infinite bits, the data is in a completely closed state at any finite bit, and the infinite open state is set aside, and finally forms a fully enclosed time and space, creating a popular "rational qi" form.
In the following chapters, I will decipher why traditional Chinese culture seriously deviated from the cultural direction after the 11th century, leading to the Chinese feudal dynasty becoming more and more closed, and finally going to a dead end. After the development of Confucianism, which caused the glory of 2,000 years, it became the reason for the chicken rib culture of modern people.
3. The evolution of human culture and biology is an unstoppable torrent
The process of civilization in human society is progressive, and from a biological point of view, there is a biological damping of human evolution, as E.O. Wilson said in his "On the Nature of Man", "Lionel Trilling wrote in his Beyond Culture, that somewhere in the brain, 'there is a firm, unwearable, stubborn core. It embodies the imperatives of biology, biological necessity and biological reason, which is beyond the reach of culture, and which is always correct, and which sooner or later will be used to judge, resist and revise culture. E.O. Wilson added: " Darwin's view has been accepted as the theory of biological evolution of all life forms, including man, because biological evolution is slower than the Lamarck cultural evolution, the evolution of living things is always left behind by the evolution of culture, but the difference between the two cannot be too great, because the social environment created by cultural evolution will eventually leave traces of biological natural selection, those who have suicidal tendencies or destructive to their families are more difficult to leave their genes than those who do not have these genetic tendencies in behavior, and a society can only produce a less competitive culture because the genetic tendencies of its members are weakenedI am not here attributing the relevant phenomena of modern society to genetic differences, but it is important to point out that there is a limit to the practice of contemporary societies, and to grasp this limit is beyond the capacity of human reason, and once cultural evolution exceeds this limit, it will be pulled back by biological evolution. … The decay of slavery could explain this biological damping. ”
From this, it can be concluded that the constitutional monarchy of contemporary Britain and Japan does not violate the principle that human evolution is biologically damped, but rather reflects the signs that culture is at the forefront of evolutionary damping. From the perspective of socialized development, the constitutional monarchy is a social and cultural system that is more advanced than the capitalist democratic social system, because the constitutional monarchy has transcended the institutional boundary of the separation of powers, and has risen to a social system that includes the separation of powers and the existence of a stable social system with the balance of powers.
Therefore, the cultural and biological evolution of mankind is an unstoppable torrent, and disorderly obstruction of social progress can only cause the whole nation to suffer untold suffering and calamity, to indulge in the oppression of a random minority of power classes, "to maintain the remnants of their old culture, and when this effort succeeds, the status of many of them rises, and the original state of pure slavery is changed." When the action to defend oneself is suppressed and fails, the fertility of man naturally declines, so each generation needs to import a large number of new slaves, and this frequent alternation has a disintegration effect on the culture of both slaves and masters, because the slave owners want to live more time in their own cultural centers, so that they have created a culture in which they themselves go away and only leave agents to supervise slaves, and more and more power falls into the hands of the overseers, and there is no way to manage, barbaric abuse, slave riots, The destruction of production became more and more intense, and the system slowly went into decline. ”
E.O. Wilson's "On the Nature of Man" is a great book, and perhaps years later, its cultural illuminati will illuminate the world.
Fourth, the second hexagram Kun Kun is the earth Kun up and down
"Kun": Yuan Heng. The chastity of the horse. The gentleman has a relationship, first lost, and then the winner, benefit. Friends in the southwest, friends in the northeast. Ahn Jung-gil.
The sixth day of the first month: frost, ice to.
Sixty-two: straight, square, big, not customized, no disadvantage.
Sixty-three: With a chapter can be chaste, or from the king's affairs, there is no end.
June Fourth: Inclusive, no blame and no reputation.
Sixty-five: Huangshang Yuanji.
Upper six: The dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is yellow.
With six: Li Yongzhen.
Interpretation: To understand the meaning of this hexagram, we must first understand the true meaning of the word "kun". Yi said: "To Zai Kun Yuan, all materials are born, and it is Shun Chengtian." Kun is thick and loaded, and virtue is boundless. Han Hong Guangda, Xianheng products. That is to say, Kun carries the earth, all materials are born, the sky is carried by the sky, the virtue is boundless, the light shines, and everything is smooth.
Kun has the meaning of earth, mother, and carrying in Chinese culture, so Kun hexagram is respected by Confucianism as "terrain kun, a gentleman carries things with virtue." "Knowing the meaning of Kun, this hexagram is easy to understand.
"Kun": Yuan Heng. The chastity of the horse. The gentleman has a relationship, first lost, and then the winner, benefit. Friends in the southwest, friends in the northeast. Ahn Jung-gil.
Note: "Kun": The first to occupy this hexagram, smooth. The steadfastness of the female horse is inclined to the female to win the yin and the strong. A virtuous person is in a hurry, first disoriented, and then to see his master, auspicious. You can get friends in the southwest, and you will lose friends in the northeast. Stable, firm and auspicious.
The sixth day of the first month: frost, ice to. Note: After the frost falls, the ice comes, the frost gathers, and the ice is solid.
Sixty-two: straight, square, big, not customized, no disadvantage. Note: Straightforward, square, vast things, unfamiliar, no practice, none, will not have adverse effects.
Sixty-three: With a chapter can be chaste, or from the king's affairs, there is no end. Note: There is a system from the rules, it must be firm, or from the king's affairs, and if it is not successful, it must have a beginning and an end.
June Fourth: Inclusive, no blame and no reputation. Note: Therefore, the storage should be cautious, and there will be no disaster and no reputation.
Sixty-five: Huangshang Yuanji. Note: The woman's yellow dress is decorated, the first auspicious, the beginning of civilization.
Upper six: The dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is yellow. Note: Jiaolong went to sea, fought in the wilderness, blood-stained mountains and rivers, and the sky was yellow. The female land is strong, there will be war, Liushunkun dominates the world, the world will be chaotic, the liberals sweep the regulations, the war is raging, the blood stains the earth, and the color is red and dark yellow. This passage alludes to the tragic end of the liberals' rebellion when society develops to the point of optimism in which women dominate the world, and it also reflects the chaos of the world at the end of the ancient matriarchal society.
With six: Li Yongzhen. Note: Swift decision-making is always a firm decision.
To sum up, Kun is a thick soil, its sex is soft, the system is positive, the reverse system is the opposite, it is the cathode is rigid, and the urgency is profitable. Stepping on the frost and ice, the cold wind will hit people, but the gentleman will be straightforward, broad-minded, and generous. But a woman is a woman after all, and the heroine will make a profit in the world, regardless of shame, glory and self-esteem, reputation and soul, destruction of rules and regulations, damage to the king's law, and eventually cause chaos in the world, anarchists and defenders fight in the wilderness, blood flows like a river, and the earth is red. The siege of the world must be used to set things right, eliminate the chaos, and restore order. Determination and determination are eternal principles.
5. Practical application
Ideology influences culture, and culture promotes civilization. There is no doubt that traditional Chinese culture has made brilliant contributions to Chinese civilization. In the modern sense, this hexagram is a compliment to women, and it is also a true interpretation of the actual situation. Theoretically, there is no derogatory content for women, but the description of Kun's lord of the world, the dragon fighting in the wild, and its blood Xuanhuang is indeed a reminder to the people of the world, Kuntu is soft, virtuous, Kuntu is strong, yellow clothes are uncovered, and the robe is yellow, and the world will be chaotic.
From a psychological point of view, women by their very nature need a filling type of spiritual satisfaction, while men need a kind of constricted soul satisfaction. From a numerological point of view, women need more fulfillment of money satisfaction, while men need an oppressive form of material satisfaction. Women are like thick soil, tender like water, gentle and considerate, and silently abide by moral standards in their hearts, which is a good thing. However, if a woman is like a tiger, resolute and strong, like a hungry tiger to eat, she will definitely make a profit in her own pocket, ignore the shame, destroy the rules and regulations, and eventually cause disaster in the world.
In practical application, the Kun hexagram is used to get food for the hungry tiger, and the upper hexagram is up, but there is a viciousness in this hexagram.
The hexagram says, "Those who [Kun] are also shun." The inside and outside are pure and supple, so there is the image of a hungry tiger getting food.
Elephant: A flock of fat sheep enters the hill, the hungry tiger opens his mouth with joy, the suitable thing fills the hungry heart, and the hexagram is good luck.
Break: The hungry tiger is happy to eat, the name of the test is high, and the auspicious pedestrian arrives, and the right and wrong have nothing to do with the tongue. Looking for people to see, lost to have faith, illness to see good, everything is smooth. ”
In layman's terms, if it is used to predict the law of the development of things, it is six sentences:
This hexagram goes smoothly in the strong woman,
The southwest has lost its party in the northeast.
Straight-hearted, broad-minded and invincible,
The cold condenses like frost.
Women don't keep morality and don't wear yellow clothes,
Dragons fight in the blood-stained battlefield.
