The study of the weft, the origin and the ancient pre-Qin.

Originally, "prophecy" was a hidden phrase that was only circulated among monks. In nature, it is similar to the "black talk of the rivers and lakes" dedicated to the heroes of the green forest. It is pretending to be a fairy and saint, prejudging good fortune and evil, and telling people to act. "Confessions" means "Possession of the book".

"Prophecy" came out before "weft". Before the Han Dynasty, the monks in the Yanqi area were the first to create "proverbs". During the time of the first emperor, Fang Shi Lu Sheng went to the sea to seek immortals and brought back the "Catalogue", which contained the proverb "Hu Ye, the Dead Qin". The "Records of the Historians" also contains the "Qin Sayings".

"Weft" is relative to "Jing": "The prophecy is a hidden word, prejudging the good and evil", "The tributary of the Weft Sutra extends to the side meaning".

Emperor Wu deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone. The status of the scriptures was improved, and then the "weft book" that relied on and attached to the scriptures was produced. "The weft is matched with the warp", so it is called "warp and weft"; The prophecy is attached to the scriptures, which is called "the scriptures"; The weft is often equipped with illustrations, so it is also called "diagram", "catalogue", "diagram weft"; With its symbolic experience, it is also called "talisman"; It is the book of the gods, also known as the "spiritual chapter". The list goes on and on.

Before the former Han Dynasty, the words of prophecy were just a few words scattered in the hundreds of scriptures. Until the end of the Han Dynasty, the Confucian scholars of Fang Shihua made a large number of prophecies and compiled them into books. The impact is becoming more and more far-reaching. It was carried forward by Guangwu again.

Guangwu tried to raise troops. Because of the "Red Fu Fu" called the emperor, Chongxin Weiwei. In the first year of the Middle Yuan Dynasty (56 years), that is, the year before his death, he announced that "the plan is in the world". There are nine articles of "River Map", six articles of "Luo Shu", thirty articles of interpretation from Fuxi to Confucius, and thirty-five articles of longitude and latitude, totaling eighty articles. Passed down to future generations.

With the skeleton of yin and yang and five elements, the Wei Wei combines mathematics with scriptures, and the content is huge. There are exegesis, myths and legends, and natural science knowledge such as astronomy, geography, and calendars. However, at its core, it is the "theology of the weft."

The theoretical basis of "theology of the weft" is the "theory of the induction of heaven and man". The "heaven" in the weft is "God", or "Emperor of Heaven". He is the supreme god and has a deified personality. Able to distinguish between good and evil, and clear rewards and punishments. The will of heaven is embodied through the "five elements of yin and yang" and "changes in celestial phenomena". As long as you follow the five elements of yin and yang and the changes in the heavens, you can take advantage of good fortune and evil, and get a glimpse of the "will of heaven".

Therefore, "Zhiwei Theology" is in the "Inner Learning" of the Han Dynasty. It is revered as the "Secret Sutra". Become an important part of orthodoxy. All differences in scripture and doctrine, and even the system of ritual music, must be decided by prophecy. More top-down, deep into all aspects of people's production and life.

Whenever there is a major event, first ask the good and the bad. It's routine. When I was young, the thatched houses met on a narrow road. Sister Ning saw that Liu Bei was beautiful and natural, and she couldn't bear to be cruel, and she also believed in the art of Wei Wei. Those who are accustomed to rejecting the previous dynasties in later generations are due to the lack of life experience of the previous dynasties. Who can live in the present like Liu Bei.

Based solely on the views of later generations, the theology of the Latitude is generally classified as feudal superstition. Obviously not true.

Because nowadays, the weft is confused with the scriptures and is inseparable.

A subset of the classics and histories of the past dynasties, and a hundred famous texts, are all used to discuss the theology of the weft.

In Liu Bei's opinion. The reason why the theology of the Latitude has been widely disseminated. It is inseparable from the cognitive level of the entire era and the historical stage in which it is located.

The natural phenomena and laws of things that can be understood and mastered by the people of the time, and the codes of conduct and moral norms that arise from them are the "weft".

Those natural phenomena and laws that cannot be understood, and the cognitive impairment and unpredictable effects that arise from them are called "prophecies".

In a word. What can be understood is "weft", and what cannot be understood is "prophecy".

"Weft" means "warp". The ancient scriptures have different commentaries, and there are many debates. In order to prove the doctrine of this sect, some people even did not hesitate to entrap internal officials and delete and modify the Lantai royal collection. This is evident.

Similarly. The "prophecies" that cannot be comprehended, different factions of masters, also have different interpretations. In order to prove the authenticity, Changyu did not hesitate to abandon his family business, went north alone, mixed in the city, and became a puppet. Today, I finally have to meet the king of thistle and ask him face to face.

This is the cause and effect of the whole incident.

The stable order Zhang Yu met the king of thistle in order to solve the doubt in his heart that "those who represent the Han should be high".

"When Tu Gao" is "Wei Ye" or "Zong Wang Ye".

Seeing that Liu Bei was silent in thought, Zhou Yu joined the army and said: "Lord Qi." The interpretation of 'Wei' is similar to that of 'King Zong'. ”

"Oh?" Rao is the king of thistle, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Why do you say this?" ”

The stable made Zhang Yu even more careless, and bowed to the ten-year-old Zhou Lang solemnly: "I would like to hear that I will join the army." ”

Zhou Yu said: "In the pre-Qin period, the 'Yin and Yang Five Elements Theory' prevailed, and the Yin and Yang family thought that the reason why all countries stood side by side was because they all had a kind of 'virtue given by God'. This virtue can be represented by five elements. Namely: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Therefore, everything in the country needs to be matched. It is called 'moral conformity'. Only in this way can we be protected by heaven and the country will last for a long time.

And according to this, the Yellow Emperor was Tude, Shang Huang; Xia is Mude, Shang Qing; Shang Shang Jinde, when the rise of silver overflowing the mountain, there is a good omen, so it is still white; Zhou is a fire virtue, so it is still red. At that time, the theory of the cycle of five virtues was recognized by everyone in the world, and the same was true when the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period were determined.

After the three families were divided, Wei Cheng was orthodox, regarded himself as a royal family, and followed the fire virtue of Zhou; Han Tui performs Mude; Zhao Huode is the main one, and Mude is supplemented, called 'Huomude'.

The ancestor of Qi was Jiang Ziya, followed by Zhou Tianzi's virtue, and Houtian's generation of Qi, and the performance of 'fire virtue is the mainstay, and Jinde is supplemented'. The state of Chu regarded itself as a descendant of Emperor Yan, and it was a tude. Yan Guo promoted the performance of water virtue. Among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, only the Qin State was undetermined in virtue, which made the Central Plains countries ridicule, thinking that the Qin State was a wild land and did not understand the king. ”

Liu Bei bowed his head lightly: "Zhou is the fire virtue, 'Wei Cheng orthodoxy', along the fire virtue of Zhou." Gaozu is the 'son of the Red Emperor', and the Han Dynasty prospered because of fire, and it is also a fire virtue. If the Han is compared with the Zhou, it should be 'Wei Cheng orthodox'. ”

The stable Ling Changyu also realized: "The teacher once said that the Han Dynasty will die in the midst of the heroes, such as the story of the 'Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period' in the Zhou period." Therefore, those who can inherit the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye. 'Tu Gao' means 'Wei' also. ”

"I see." Liu Bei then woke up: "The 'Wei' mentioned by the Lingshi refers to one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. The Seven Heroes have long since become ancient. Therefore, what the Lingshi refers to is the 'Wei land' of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Wei is in the north of the great river, which is the territory of present-day Jizhou." Zhou Yu said.

This is very explicit.

So, the stable commander Zhang Yu blurted out: "Could it be that the one who represents the Han is among the six kings of Jizhou?" ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "'Abolish Shi Limu', the heroes rise together. More than 100 countries in the Spring and Autumn Period eventually became the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. A king today, a king tomorrow? Who can base the land of Jizhou, the fire virtue of the Yan Han Dynasty, is still unknown. ”

The stable order is Changyu, and Daigo is initiated. This solemnly bowed: "Hearing the words of joining the army, (Zhang) Yu, his heart was completely resolved, and he was relieved. ”

Liu Bei smiled and asked, "Does Mr. still raise horses?" ”

The stable ordered Zhang Yu to lie on the ground and said: "Minister, I am willing to serve the work of 'dogs and horses'." For the lord 'along the fire of the Han Dynasty'. ”

This dialogue has far-reaching implications. far exceeded Liu Bei's estimate. In the final analysis, we underestimate the power of theology.

In a word. In divinity, the mind is unified.

The one who represents the Han is "the king of tomorrow according to Wei".
