The silk book "Zhou Yi" was unearthed and sorted out.

The silk width is about 48 centimeters high, about 85 centimeters wide, and the ink is written. Since it is folded and placed, it becomes a sheet after decay. Therefore, it can be inferred from the later splicing restoration that the folding method is: first fold the silk scroll in half from the beginning to the end, and fold it twice in half in the same way, and then fold it up and down. Obviously, although this method reduces the storage space, it has been buried for thousands of years, and the stacked silk scrolls have indeed damaged a lot of writing.

Ma Wang piles up silk, there are scriptures and scriptures, sixty-four hexagrams are intact, individual words are damaged, and there are some fake words. The silk book is the first and second chapters of "Two and Three Sons", "Dictionaries", "Yi Zhiyi", "Want", "Miao He", and "Zhaoli".

The collation and publication of the silk book "Zhou Yi" is quite long, and it can be described as "coming out after a long time, still holding the pipa and half covering his face". In 1973, it was unearthed, but after about 12 years, that is, in 1984, the third issue of "Cultural Relics" published the silk book "Zhou Yi" scriptures, that is, "Mawangdui Han Tomb Silk Book (Sixty-four Hexagrams)". The collation of the Yichuan part of it was made public even later, 30 years after the advent of the Silk Easy.

Li Lao was very surprised, even in China now, except for archaeologists, few people know the name of the silk book Zhou Yi, Wang Zhong actually has the original text of the silk book Zhou Yi, and listen to the meaning of the little girl who led the way just now, there is still the kind of Yi Chuan!

He couldn't help but be shocked!

But what shocked him was far more than that, when they entered the living room, he was shocked to find that Wang Zhong had already brewed fragrant tea, and there were no more and no less cups in front of him, exactly four!

"Did some source leak the news?"

After Li Lao sat down, his mind was running quickly, he thought about all the links, and he didn't find any links that could leak the news, and they were just members of the archaeological team, not people from the hidden front. No one would go to great lengths to gather information about them!

"I was moved just now, and I knew that there would be four friends to visit, and I specially prepared a fragrant tea for you to wash the dust!"

Wang Zhong seemed to know Li Lao's thoughts, and said with a smile.

"You mean, calculate that we're back at this time today!"

The young man who had been following Elder Li asked in disbelief, and although the other two people did not speak, their eyes were also full of doubts.

"Fortune telling is a remnant of feudalism, and it's all a lie!"

The young man thought for a moment, and finally said with some conclusion.

"Little Yellow. Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing that the young man was open-mouthed, Li Lao couldn't help but say angrily.

"Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry, he's been in school, just graduated, and he doesn't hold back!"

Li Lao said to Wang Zhong with some embarrassment, sitting in someone's house, drinking other people's tea, and ruining other people's reputations. In Li Lao's opinion, this matter is really immature and not authentic!

Moreover, Zhou Yi is not as superficial as Xiao Huang said. Although there are a lot of mixed rice deceptions, there are indeed zài masters!

At least he has a few friends who can predict the future!

Wang Zhong was not angry, but smiled slightly.

"The world has long misunderstood Zhou Yi's fortune telling. Many people say that Zhou Yi's fortune-telling is a deception, and it is to observe words and feelings, and some people even write a lot of incision code words for this. But those are not real Zhou Yi fortune telling. It's just a liar under the guise of Zhou Yi!"

"Zhou Yi fortune-telling belongs to the category of metaphysics, and its history has a long history. It is based on the Book of Changes, based on the theory of the Yin and Yang Five Elements System, which includes many types, such as divination, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, etc., all belong to Zhou Yi prediction.

"Zhou Yi" originated from the Fuxi gossip, which in turn originated from the "Hetuluo book". "Yi Zhi Ci Shang" said: "The river produces a picture, Luo produces a book, and the sage does it." "From the Hetuluo book to the gossip symbols and then to the hexagrams that explain the gossip, we can see the development trend of Chinese culture, which is a way of thinking that takes nature and enriches it with people's experience.

The theoretical source of all kinds of learning is the Book of Changes, what is the Book of Changes? First, change, a chaotic phenomenon, a small change can affect the development of things (butterfly effect); everything in the universe is fickle and changes all the time, and the same is true for personnel. The second is simplicity, one yin and one yang, encompassing the principles of all kinds of things; there is heaven and earth, there is man and woman, there is upper and lower, there is front and there is after, all are opposites and opposites. The third is not easy, although the things in the world are intricate and changeable, but there is one thing that will never change, that is, the law; the operation of heaven and earth, the rotation of the four seasons, the alternation of cold and summer, the cold in winter and the heat in summer, the waxing of the moon is lost, the sun and noon are biased, and the extremes of things must be reversed, this is the law.

The development of all things has a fixed number and a variable, and the fixed number has a law to follow while the variable has no law to follow; the fixed number contains variables, and the variable contains a fixed number, and the overall situation remains unchanged regardless of whether it is a fixed number or a variable. In ancient and modern times, most people have not distinguished between fixed numbers and variables, confusing this concept. "Definite" (regular) can predict the development trajectory of things according to their regularity, while "variable" (irregular) cannot be accurately predicted due to the fickleness and too many variable factors.

Although everything is intricate and changeable, there are also eternal and unchanging laws, since there is a regular side, then according to some known factors of these things combined with Yili can deduce their development trajectory and trend. ”

Looking at Xiao Huang, who was speechless, Li Lao actually had a trace of unconvinced thoughts in his heart, after all, Xiao Huang was brought by himself, and he was also a member of the archaeological team, and he was a senior intellectual, but he was speechless by a "god stick", which made him very dissatisfied in his heart. Coughing lightly twice, Li Lao continued Wang Zhong's point of view, you must know that the most brilliant thing to refute is to establish the other party's point of view, and then refute it:

"Zhou Yi's prediction is not superstition, it is a slightly mysterious metaphysics. Although Zhou Yi prediction is not superstitious, but it is not as miraculous as some charlatans boast, don't think that Zhou Yi predicts anything can be calculated accurately, in fact, it is not so magical, its accuracy is limited, and do not completely deny this knowledge because of some inaccurate measurements, and look at Zhou Yi prediction with a scientific attitude. Prediction is to find out the law of the thing according to certain known conditions, and to estimate the development trend of the thing according to the law. In all things, there are both "definite numbers" (laws) and "variables" (irregularities), and the "definite" side of predicting a certain thing can be measured, while its "variables" cannot be predicted. There are both fixed and variable. This is the way of heaven and earth, and man is destined for heaven, and so is his reason.

For example, among the many factors that affect people's fate, the main factors are: eight characters, feng shui, social environment, background of the times, people's subjective consciousness and so on. People with the same four pillars and eight characters have different fates due to their different feng shui, social environment, historical background, and subjective consciousness. Measuring the four pillars and eight characters is only a congenital fixed number factor in the many factors that affect people's fate, and from this fixed number can reflect the main line of their life destiny trajectory, which is only the main line of destiny trajectory, not all of destiny. Therefore, even if the four pillars and eight characters are completely correct, the specific fate of the person cannot be completely accurately predicted, because the four pillars and eight characters are only one of the main factors affecting the fate of the person. There are many other volatile factors that affect the fate of people. Those who tell you with certainty what will happen to something very specific will be, and there is a lot of deception; you have seen the weather forecast, modern technology is so developed, and it is not possible to accurately measure where it will rain on a certain day of a certain month with advanced scientific and technological means, and when reporting the weather forecast, you can only tell you that there will be rain in a certain area on a certain day of a certain month (local area, how big is this range?). Although there are signs of rain in the forecast, the wind and clouds are changing, and there are signs of rain only indicating that it is more likely to rain.

With this in mind, it is not difficult to understand why people born on the same day, month, and day of the same year (such as twins) have different fates, and sometimes the prediction is not accurate. Because there are variables. In addition, the imperfection of the prediction theory system also determines the accuracy of prediction. Of course, in addition to these objective factors, there are also reasons for the level of the forecaster, due to the limitations of knowledge and cognitive ability, there is not much in the society that really understands. Most of them seem to understand but don't understand. ”

Wang Zhong glanced at Li Lao with some surprise, he really met an opponent today, he didn't expect that this old-looking intellectual actually had a certain amount of research on Zhou Yi. And all of a sudden, it hit the dead hole predicted by Zhou Yi!

"Fortune-telling may have originated in the pre-Qin period, when the ancient Egyptians used papyrus to record things, and the ancient Babylonians used clay tablets as books, and the ancient Chinese people split bamboo into pieces. Thinning and polishing, fire roasting and weaving, the most vivid historical facts are written in bamboo slips, and passed on to future generations.

"Fortune Telling" is a method that applies the idea of "the unity of heaven and man" in traditional Chinese culture to predict the changes in life movements. The year, month, day, and hour of birth of a person are arranged into eight characters (called "eight characters") according to the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, and then the fate of the person is calculated by using the five elements to which the stem and branch belong, and the good fortune and misfortune of the person are determined. According to legend, it began in Tang Li Xuzhong, under the name Guiguzi. Tang Hanyu's "Epitaph of Li Jun in the Palace": "(Li Jun's name is in the void), the deepest than the Five Elements Book, with the first year of life, the day and the day of the straight day, the birth of the victory and the decline of the king of death, the consideration of the life of the unfavorable and lowly profits, the first to deal with the year, one hundred and one or two. "But the traditional ways and methods of fortune-telling are really not perfect.

Chinese culture is broad and profound, fortune-telling, it is the crystallization of wisdom summarized by the ancient people after years of practice, the theoretical system is complex and profound, and the efforts of ordinary people in a poor life may not be able to understand five or six out of ten!"

Wang Zhong saw that there was no way to break through the front, so he simply changed his direction and talked to Li Lao about the origin and history of numerology, because there is a very famous theory in contemporary times, that is, it is reasonable to save zài!

Although Li Lao has a feeling of unfinished, he also knows that what Wang Zhong said is reasonable, Zhou Yi's prediction has lasted for thousands of years from its birth to now, and not only in China, but also in foreign countries, although this is a kind of curiosity about the future, but there is no mature theoretical system, and there is a real effect, Zhou Yi's prediction cannot continue to this day, even in the most difficult decade, Zhou Yi has not been extinct!

And that's the point!

"Elder Li, which prince and general of the ancient tomb we need to survey?"

Wang Zhong was afraid that Li Lao would be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to change the topic. The archaeological team was able to ask themselves to go out of the mountain to help this time, and they must have received a lot of information, determined the identity of the tomb owner, and even fully estimated the value of the ancient tomb!

"This is an ancient tomb of the Shang Dynasty, and we preliminarily judge that it is a good tomb for women!"

Li Lao said with some excitement, a complete Shang Dynasty tomb, but also the tomb of a famous person in history, whether in terms of cultural history or value, is very amazing, if you get some important classics, then there is no way to estimate!

"Rich?"

Mary said with some confusion, isn't rich a modern term? How could it become the name of an ancient tomb, is it the tomb of a big merchant?

"It's a good woman, not a rich man!"

Li Lao corrected with some amusement. But Mary can't be blamed for this, after all, the name "Woman" is so special!

"Nu Hao, the wife of Wu Ding, the monarch of the Shang Dynasty, is the first female military commander in Chinese history and an outstanding female politician. Not only was she able to lead the army to the east and west to expand the territory for Wuding, but she also presided over various sacrificial activities of the Wuding Dynasty. Therefore, Wu Ding liked her very much, after her death, Wu Ding was grief-stricken, and said "Xin", and the descendants of the Shang Dynasty called her "Mother Xin" and "Mother Xin". ”

"It turns out that the princess of the Shang Dynasty!"

Mary stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

"Is there a surname of woman in the hundred family names?"

"Why haven't you heard of it!"

"After we checked a lot of information, we found that the current hundred family surnames, even in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period, did not have this surname, we speculated that it may be a surname in the Xia and Shang periods, and later with the evolution of society, this surname has become extinct, or has changed the surname, so we have no record of this. Of course, it is also possible that it is because of the canonization, or other reasons, that she is called a woman, of course, after opening her tomb, there will be an answer!"

Li Lao said seriously, to be honest, he is also very curious about this answer, if it is determined that the woman is a surname, then there must be one more Chinese surname!

This is definitely a very big discovery, and maybe it will cause a sensation. He was full of expectations for this archaeology, of course, the premise was to find the tomb of the woman in the mountains, which is why they came to find Wang Zhong......!
