"What exactly is heaven and earth, how did heaven and earth come about, and how heaven and earth will change in the future, I don't know, and I can't say clearly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but there are some questions about the five elements of yin and yang mentioned by Mr. below, can Mr. solve the confusion below? Dai Yan did not answer Zou Yan's question directly, but began to ask questions again.

Zou Yan has long been dissatisfied with Dai Yan's evaluation of his theory of yin and yang and five elements as "serious nonsense"! He wanted to see what kind of questions this prince of Song could ask, so he said: "Childe has opinions, but you can say it directly!" ”

"Since Mr. is called 'Tan Tianyan' by the Qi people, then I will talk to Mr. about Tian. Mr. mentioned the celestial bodies in the sky, the sun and the moon are yin and yang, and the five stars of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are the five elements, and with this yin and yang five elements to build a systematic world concept, I am very admired! However, I would like to ask Zou Zi, how do the celestial bodies in the sky, the sun, moon and stars work? Dai Yan asked.

Dai Yan's words scratched Zou Yan's itch again. Since he dared to create the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, then he naturally knew everything about astronomy and geography!

So Zou Yan said resolutely: "The celestial bodies in the sky are composed of seven politics, five latitudes, twenty-eight houses, four elephants, three walls, and twelve times.

The seven politics are the sun and the moon plus the five stars of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the five stars of gold, wood, water, fire and earth together are called the five latitudes; The four elephants and the twenty-eight constellations are the star regions of the four directions, each of which is a divine beast, along with the seven nakshatras and the stars of the heavens. The four elephants are the Eastern Canglong, the Northern Xuanwu, the Western White Tiger, and the Southern Vermilion Bird.

The Big Dipper is located directly above the world and is extremely important to all things in heaven and earth, and the three walls are related to the Big Dipper. The star area located in the middle of the Big Dipper and its vicinity is Ziweiyuan, and outside Ziweiyuan, the star area north of Xingzhang Yizhen is Taiweiyuan; The star area north of the Fangxin Keto is the Tenshigaki wall. Migaki can argue the direction and set the season. To the north of the Big Dipper's Seven Stars, the Celestial Xuan Star and the Celestial Pivot Star are the North Star.

And the ecliptic crosses the four elephants from west to east, and the 28 Nakshatras are divided into 12 times. In this way, the seven governments, the five latitudes, the twenty-eight nights, the four elephants, the three walls, and the twelve times constitute the stars of the heavens.

If we want to talk about the movement of the sun, moon and stars, it means that the seven governments and five latitudes are running around the earth. And the four elephants, the twenty-eight nakshatras, the three walls, and the twelve times have their own divisions, and the stars in the sky correspond to the states and counties on the earth. The stars usually do not change, and once they change, it will inevitably mean that there will be good and bad things in their earthly states! It's inconvenient to tell Childe about this. ”

Dai Yan heard Zou Yan's words, clapped his hands, and exclaimed: "Wonderful, really wonderful!" ”

Zou Yan is worthy of being the founder of the five elements of yin and yang, and he has a thorough understanding of astronomy and geography, and he really understands ancient astronomy! His statement did solve many doubts in Dai Yan's heart.

For example, when he read the famous "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" in later generations, he never understood the "Star Splitting Wings" and the later "Dragon Light Shooting Bull Fighting Ruins". However, now that he has listened to Zou Yan's explanation, he understands.

Nanchang, where the Tengwang Pavilion is located, is located in Chu, and Chu is in southern China, corresponding to the southern fire area of the celestial star map. This is also the meaning of "star wings".

And "the ruins of the dragon light shooting bull fight" is the meaning of the classic, indicating that Yuzhang County, where Nanchang is located, is the treasure land of "Wuhua Tianbao". In the Jin Dynasty, there was often purple gas irradiation between the ox and the two stars, which was said to be the essence of the sword, and it was penetrated to the sky. Later, someone unearthed two swords of Longquan and Tai'a in Fengcheng, Yuzhang County, where Nanchang is located. The sword was unearthed and turned into a double dragon, and then the purple qi disappeared. The bull fight corresponds to the Wuyue region, and Yuzhang County happens to be between Chu and Wuyue.

However, although Zou Yan answered Dai Yan's doubts about culture in his heart, it does not mean that Dai Yan will agree with Zou Yan's views. Dai Yan directly seized Zou Yan's first loophole and asked him: "Zou Zi really thinks that the seven governments are all running around the earth?" So what kind of scene is it on the earth? ”

Zou Yan appreciates Dai Yan's "knowledge"! asked the sky, and then asked the earth, this is what he Zou Yan is good at! He's been looking for an opportunity to put his ideas out in the open, and now there's finally a chance! So he explained to Dai Yan: "Today's people think that there are nine fields in the sky, nine states in the earth, nine mountains in the soil, nine stops in the mountains, nine servals in the ze, eight degrees in the wind, and six rivers in the water. And thinks that this is the world, which is really a big mistake in Zou Yan's opinion!

In Zou Yan's opinion: Within the four seas, there are 28,000 miles from east to west and 26,000 miles from north to south. The waterway is 8,000 miles, and the recipient is also 8,000 miles. Tonggu six, Mingchuan six hundred, land note three thousand, small water ten thousand. Within the four poles, 500 million from east to west has 97,000 miles, and 500 million from north to south has 97,000 miles.

The polestar travels with the sky, and the pivot does not move. On the winter solstice, he traveled far away, traveled around the four poles, and his fate was called Xuanming. On the summer solstice, the shortcut is to participate in the above. There is no day or night under the pivot. In the south of the white people, under the building wood, there is no shadow in the middle of the day, and there is no sound in the breath, covering the heaven and the earth.

All things in heaven and earth, the body of one person, this is called Datong. The ears, eyes, nose and mouth, the cold and summer of the five grains, this is different. Then everything is ready. Heaven pours all things, and the saints look at them to see their kinds. The solution lies in the shape of heaven and earth, the reason why thunder and lightning are born, the essence of yin and yang, and the safety of people and animals. ”

In Zou Yan's eyes, the land is not just a small piece of Kyushu! In addition to the "world" within the four seas, there are also lands within the "four poles". This is a land that is bigger and more expansive than the world of the four seas.

Such a statement, such a point of view, at this time when everyone thinks that Kyushu is the world, is obviously a very pioneering concept! If Dai Yan hadn't traveled from the afterlife, hearing such a grand scene of heaven and earth depicted by Zou Yan, I'm afraid he would have been shocked!

With the completion of Zou Yan's exposition, the people present, whether it was Tian Bijiang, the prince of Qi, or Qi Jiezi, the giant of the Mo family, or Zhao Yong, the prince of Zhao, everyone was deeply shocked by this grand scene of heaven and earth!

In their hearts, the Kyushu of the world is already vast enough, but beyond this Kyushu, there is an even wider and broader world!

Then Zou Yan said slowly: "Confucianism is called Chinese. In the world, it is eighty-one divided into one part of its ear. The Chinese name is Chixian Shenzhou. Chixian Shenzhou has its own Kyushu, and the order of Yu is Kyushu, and it must not be the number of states. Outside China, such as Chixian Shenzhou, the nine, is the so-called Kyushu. Therefore, there is a sea ring, and those who cannot communicate with the people and beasts, such as those in a district, are a state. In this way, there is a big Ying Sea outside it, and the heaven and the earth are in the air.

And this is the whole picture of the earth! ”

Great Kyushu Doctrine! Dai Yan's heart slowly remembered such words.

At this time, Dai Yan's heart couldn't help but praise Zou Yan!

In this era when civilization originated not long ago, the great emancipation of the mind was ushered in for the first time on the land of China, and such an open and grand ideology and doctrine was produced, which is really incredible!

Although there are many fallacies in Zou Yan's doctrine, for the people of this era, the doctrines he made are groundbreaking! And the ideal in his heart is probably also extremely lofty!

Throughout Zou Yan's theory, from the five elements of yin and yang to the doctrine of the Great Kyushu, Zou Yan has constructed a real cosmology, and the cosmology he constructed has the basis for serving the entire Chinese civilization!

First of all, the Five Elements Doctrine and the Five Virtues have always said that Zou Yan linked the Five Virtues with the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth and the rise and fall of the state, which is to warn the rulers of the world: Don't be arrogant and lascivious, you must be virtuous, and you must govern the country well, so that the country can prosper and not let the country perish!

And the Great Kyushu Doctrine is even more remarkable! That is to tell the entire Chinese civilization: there is far more than a small place like Kyushu in this world, don't continue to fight on this land! Look outward, the space outside is incomparably vast!

With such a pattern and such a mind, in today's world, in addition to being able to write the Zhuangzi who can travel freely, I am afraid that there is no scholar who can compare with it!

However, in the subsequent Great Unification Dynasty, in addition to using the concept of the transfer of five virtues to prove the legitimacy of their own dynasty, who really attached importance to Zou Yan's Great Kyushu Doctrine? I'm afraid that people will regard his doctrine as a strange theory like the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"!

I am afraid that the biggest reason for the emergence of this phenomenon is that with the unification of the world, the scholar class can no longer flow among the countries as before, and then the hundred schools of thought were overthrown, and the policy of exclusive respect for Confucianism was proposed, and the contention of the hundred schools of thought was forced to stop! Losing the vitality formed by this openness and pluralism, the theory of yin and yang also quickly declined, and in the end, the essence of it could not be inherited, and only a piece of dross was left for future generations!

Although Dai Yan admired Zou Yan and admired the pioneering contributions made by his doctrine in this era, Dai Yan admired the essence of civilization that has been precipitated by thousands of years in later generations - science!

He was more willing to insist on his truth, so soon after, he began to refute Zou Yan!
