Chapter 332: Sixteen Hexagrams and Nuwa
"Hehe, are you searching for the image of me in your memory?" Suddenly, Fu Xi smiled, without any emotional fluctuations, but it startled Xu Jue, who was still immersed in his memory. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
“…… Hehe, I'm sorry......" Xu Qi smiled awkwardly, like a child who had made a mistake.
"It doesn't matter." Fu Xi smiled, took out a delicate * from his clothes, and then handed it to Xu Qi.
"What is this?" Xu Jue's face was full of doubts, and he kept scanning the bag and Fu Xi, one was quiet, the other was smiling, but he was too embarrassed to open it, so he froze there, becoming more and more embarrassed
"Open it and take a look." Fu Xi looked at Xu Jue, full of kindness.
"En......" Xu Jue opened it cautiously, and suddenly a golden light spread out from the bag, and in the bag was an old book, and there was no word in sight.
"God Fuxi, may I ask what this is?"
"These are sixteen hexagrams."
"Sixteen hexagrams!" Xu Jue was shocked and looked at the old booklet in his hand in disbelief.
The sixty-four changes of Fuxi gossip are the sixteen trigrams, which were transmitted to the Yin Shang period, because these sixteen hexagrams leaked the heavenly secrets, and half of them were erased by the gods, and even the remaining hexagrams of the gossip were not complete. However, people who can understand one or two points are already extremely powerful, thinking that Zhuge Kongming, knowing a little bit about one or two, can ensure that Liu Bei is strategizing and dominating the world, Liu Bowen will only solve three points, and he will assist Zhu Hongwu to build the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for 400 years.
Regarding the number of erased hexagrams, let's talk about the most likely ghost hexagram first. I Ching gossip counts heaven and earth, life is not death, we Chinese have always believed that people die as ghosts, die to the netherworld, so why such an important ghost, but not counted? It is precisely because of the ghost hexagram that is erased. The ghost is in the underworld, and it is underground, so the sixteen hexagrams of Fuxi should be from top to bottom, heavenly hexagram, human hexagram, earth hexagram, and ghost hexagram. The gods are afraid that people will be counted as life and death, so they drive ghosts to the underground and reach the heavens and the earth, so they erase the ghosts and hexagrams, so that people can only dominate earthly affairs. This scenario is most likely.
Let's talk about this most well-founded beast hexagram. We know that in ancient times, there were many mythical beasts, ghosts, beasts, and monsters, and there were many people who could drive away beasts, such as Dayu who used divine beasts to control the water and so on. And after Yin Shang, there are no more ancient divine beasts, why is this? Because people have lost the trigrams that can drive the beasts. From the beginning of the word to the present, the word king has never changed, that is, three horizontal and one vertical, three horizontal is the three talents of heaven, man and earth, if it can be big enough to penetrate the world of people, that is the king. What is this vertical that runs through the heavens and the earth? Just look at the ancient legends, that is, the beast for the king to drive. This divine beast can go up to the sky and enter the earth, and can also mix in the world, and the king of man can dominate the affairs of heaven, earth and man through the beast hexagram in the sixteen hexagrams of Fuxi, counting the beast and driving the beast. As for Yin Shang, there are only three gossips left, and the beast that drives the beast is lost, and the king no longer has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. According to this statement, these four lines are not the four lines that are parallel to each other from top to bottom, but the king-shaped four lines and sixteen hexagrams with three horizontal lines and one vertical line.
Finally, this is the most unlikely but the most plausible hexagram. Why did the gods erase a hexagram? Whether this person is a ghost or a beast, after all, he is counted on the earth or on the earth, and it is not in the way of the gods in the sky. Man is created by God, and no matter how much he tosses under God, it is also a creation of God, so he can't interfere like this. The reason why the gods finally couldn't hold it back and erased a hexagram was precisely because there was still a hexagram in people's hands. Man is created by God, but he can be counted as a god to drive God through the sixteen hexagrams of Fuxi, which is the most unbearable thing for God, and it is also the fundamental reason why the gods are so heavy-handed. The human king who has mastered the sixteen hexagrams of Fuxi is no longer the king of people, it is the king of gods! Therefore, the gods had to erase the most powerful gods, and the people's abilities were limited to the gods. I think this is the most reasonable statement, then the sixteen hexagrams of Fuxi should be from top to bottom, divine hexagrams, heavenly hexagrams, human hexagrams, and earth hexagrams.
We have roughly figured out a little clue about the reduction form of the sixteen hexagrams of Fuxi, and let's take a look at the unreasonableness of the sixty-four changes of King Wen's gossip. First of all, the number of gossip 2^3 is unreasonable, and it is not as good as the 16 hexagrams 2^4=2^2^2=16. Besides, the sixty-four changes are a synthesis of two hexagrams, which doesn't make sense, is there another heaven and earth under heaven and earth? Moreover, the hexagrams of the sixty-four changes have always been solved from bottom to top, and they have never been divided into two hexagrams to solve (there are no hexagrams, but there are legends). Therefore, these sixty-four changes are not deduced from gossip, but the sixteen hexagrams are dismantled into sixty-four changes, and the fish and dragons are mixed, and the authentic works are gone.
There is another saying on the Internet, saying that the Fuxi gossip is actually the Fuxi four trigrams, and its form is exactly what it looks like on the Korean flag, and if you want me to say, this is pure nonsense. Let's not say that only four hexagrams can calculate something, just say that the composition of this hexagram is not right, the permutations and combinations of the three hexagrams are eight, and there are only four that are missing. On the Korean flag, there are four hexagrams diagonally opposite, the upper left corner is a three-yang line, the lower right corner is a three-yin line, and the lower left corner and the upper right corner are two identical yin-yang hexagrams. There are only four, four are missing, and two of them are duplicated, which are completely made up of numbers, and what are the four trigrams, it is really nothing.
"Hehe, you're right." Just as Xu Qi was thinking, Fu Xi smiled and continued, "Now those who know the gossip fur can already get close to spying on the heavenly machines, if you learn these sixteen trigrams, you can launch all the heavenly machines." ”
"But...... I can't learn the gossip by asking myself, how can the sixteen trigrams be ......," Xu Qi whispered.
"Hehe, it is precisely because there is only gossip in later generations that it is difficult to learn, and the sixteen trigrams, the content is complete, the system is complete, and it is interlocking, you can easily learn it."
"Oh, that's why half of the sixteen hexagrams were deleted, just so that the heavenly opportunity would not be revealed."
"Hehe, yes, giving you sixteen hexagrams is equivalent to letting you know the heavenly machine, what to do next, I think you will understand."
"Well...... Understand. Xu Qi nodded, he understood what Fu Xi meant.
"Okay, it's okay, you go to the cave behind me and go meet Nuwa."
"Female ...... Nu wa! Xu Jue was shocked again, Fuxi and Nuwa are almost the ancestors of human beings, and they are about to see two of them in the blink of an eye, allowing themselves to slow down.
Legend has it that Nuwa and Fuxi are both surnamed Feng.
Nuwa and Fuxi's mother is Hua Xu. Ancient books often mention that Hua Xu gave birth to Fuxi in Chengji because he stepped on a big footprint in Lei Ze. The ancient Huaxu Kingdom is in Huaxu Town, Lantian County, near Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, and there are Huaxu Ditch, Nuwa Valley, Lianshitai and other related place name remains. Nuwa and Fuxi were married, which was the earliest marriage. Lu Tong of the Tang Dynasty wrote in the poem "Befriending Ma Yi": "...... Nuwa was originally a Fuxi woman, afraid of the wrath of the sky, smashing the five-color stone, leading the needle of the sun and the moon, and making up for the sky with the wisps of the five stars. After making up for three days, he refused to return to his son-in-law's house, and went to the middle of the day to release the crows. In the month, the cinnamon is planted to raise shrimp and toads, and the heavenly prince is angry and turns into a dragon and snake. ”
The roots of the legend of Nuwa's creation of man come from Nuwa's identity as the god of marriage. This image was established precisely because Nuwa created the marriage system. According to the History of the Road, Nuwa stipulated that marriages should be arranged by surname. The surname signifies the maternal lineage. Nuwa and Fuxi are brother and sister and married, that is, they have the same surname. But after that, marriage is not married with the same surname.
The head of the snake in Xinjiang is a picture of Nuwa. Among them, Nuwa holds the rules, and Fuxi holds the rules.
Because marriage is the basic ethics of human society, since the Han Dynasty, Nuwa Fuxi has often been depicted in charge of compasses and rulers, symbolizing the rules of marriage.
Nuwa created the sheng spring. The sheng is made by inserting a bamboo tube into a gourd, which is similar to today's gourd silk. The reed is the reed in the pipe. Wen Yiduo believes in "Fuxi Kao" that Fuxi and Pangu are related to gourds, so the legend of Nuwa using gourds and bamboo pipes to make sheng is also related to her brother Fuxi.
Later generations also took "sheng" as the meaning of "life", symbolizing Nuwa's birth.
There is another story about Nuwa as follows:
Wa went down to the mortal world to accept sacrifices, and now the obscene poems are in the temple, and he was furious, and he had to do what Yin Xun did, so he scolded: "There is no way to faint the king, how can you defile the ears of the Virgin Mary of all living beings with *?" Wait for me to be cured, and fall into the netherworld! "However, check its examples, now the auspicious dragon is soaring, and everything is ominous. Wa Shen then said: "His age has not yet arrived, but I am thinking that Shang Xuan is dead, so it is punished by heaven." "Asked by the four beasts, the four beasts said that they could not be interested in divine power, but the reason of heaven and earth could not tolerate it, so they summoned the demonic spirit to harm it. A banner order, then the demons gathered, and the demons were headed by the three demons of Xuanyuan, so they respected the master's order and cursed the king with the enchanting technique. Wa God informed: "Do everything to kill the merchants, so that their qi will be defeated, and everyone will be destroyed." “
The three demons returned to the east, and the king of chaos was punished by torture. In ancient times, there was a song that said: "The king of the king, the king of the king, why lose his strengths; Daji's wife is happy and interesting. "Until the king's qi is exhausted, he burns himself to death. The three demons triumphed, returned to God, and said happily: "Fortunately, Rong Cheng Shizhi!" God hid his face and was angry, and said: "He, God respects your orders to punish you, but you are loyal and good, kill virtuous ministers, and corpses are all over the field, how can you say that you are lucky!" At that time, Erlang and Nezha were captured. The three demons were frightened and argued: "Isn't my generation 'using everything'? What, what? However, he was captured, killed Ling Fengtai, and his soul was destroyed.
The primordial god is also the teacher. Yuan Shi Tianzun trapped the god here with the Immortal Array, and asked sharply, reprimanding the unjust interests. Wa replied: "I am the head of the people, why not be interesting? Tianzun was furious, destroyed the physical body, and trapped the god in the two spirit stones of Zixiang, which was later called "Nuwa's stone". The god Wa received the wind and untied the knot, leaving the sky.
Wa God said: "The world has bullied the Spirit Mother so far! "Then a fierce fire was sent and the people were burned around the land, and there were many mourners in the meantime. The original god descended without a swift wind, and extinguished the flame tongue on Bujun Mountain. With the spirit mother of vigorous fun and evil, she sealed her primordial spirit in the Wa stone, poured the spirit of gold to fight against it, and the Wa was injured and could not escape. He was entrusted with the Tianshan Protoss to guard it until today. The clan of the Tianshan Mountains, the god of the primordial gods, will also. Cover its spiritual power on the knee, called "Tianshan knee god".
