Today, the teacher reminded me by text message, and I remembered that I still have elective homework that I have not yet handed in, and I will not be able to finish my homework if I don't turn it in today.

Why do I have to hand in my elective homework when I am close to graduation, because I have been salted fish before, and the elective has been fishing, and now it is time to have to face it.

This semester I took a course related to the Book of Changes, and I forgot what I was going to do...... In short, the final assignment is "The Influence of the Five Elements on Secular Culture", and I haven't taken the elective course a few times, how do I know what the impact is......

So with just my little knowledge reserve plus Baidu artifacts and crazy flipbooks, I dedicated myself (blind) to (Ji) to recognize (ba) the truth (write) for an afternoon. So the outburst that was said to be good was gone.

I'm sure my school is really fine now, and it will explode tomorrow.

In order to prove that I am not lying, paste the results of the next afternoon, and declare in advance that I am making this nonsense, don't take it seriously.

The sexagenary branch is one of the ancient traditional cultures of the Chinese nation, which is combined to form the ancient chronological calendar. The ten stems and the twelve branches are matched in turn to form sixty basic units, and the two cooperate with each other in a fixed order to form the Ganzhi Era Law.

The heavenly stems are divided into: A, B, C, D, E, H, G, XIN, NON, and DE.

The earthly branches are divided into: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

The Ganzhi era, the earliest date, can be traced back to the excavation of Yin Ruins. The pre-Qin scriptures such as "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period" and "The Biography of the Ram in the Spring and Autumn Period" also explicitly used the stem branch to mark the time.

For example, "Zuo Chuan: The First Year of the Yin Dynasty" records that "Gengshen in winter and October, and reburied Huigong." "The Legend of the Ram: The Second Year of the Hidden Gong" recorded: "In autumn, August Gengchen, the Gong and Rong Alliance were in the Tang Dynasty. ”

However, the stem branch at this time is not the stem branch chronology we use today, and the cadre branch at this time uses the "year star chronology method".

After the unification of the Western Han Dynasty, due to social stability, philosophical thought and science flourished, people found that the chronology of the years and stars did not match the actual celestial phenomena after a long time. The calendar had to be reformed. Liu Xin proposed the transcendental method, but it was not widely used.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the "Taichu Calendar" was customized, but it was rather confusing to use, probably because of this, Sima Qian's "Historical Records" rarely used dry branches to mark the time.

Until the period of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court clearly stipulated the four-minute calendar, and the Ganzhi chronology was finally determined. In the "Book of Han" written by Ban Gu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Ganzhi Ji Day also reappeared.

After Li Tang, in addition to recording the day, the cadre branch was also used to record the time, month, and year, and it continues to this day.

Matching the order of the trunk and branch is exactly sixty for a week, and the cycle is endless, and it cannot but be said that it is the amazing wisdom of the ancestors.

However, the Ganzhi was not originally used to keep time, it came from the observation of celestial phenomena in ancient China.

Astronomy, the plane of the zodiac is divided into 12 signs, and in ancient times, the 12 signs of the zodiac were named after the earthly branches. The 28 Nakshatras also correspond to the 12th house.

The uterus has three nights: female, weak and dangerous.

The ugly palace has two nights of fighting and bull.

Yin Gong has a tail and two nights.

There are three nights in the palace, the room and the heart.

Chen Gong has horns and two nights.

The palace has wings and two nights.

There are willows, stars, and Zhang Sansu in the afternoon palace.

There are wells and ghosts in the palace.

Shen Palace has two nights.

The Yougong has three nights: stomach, pleiades, and Bi.

There are Kui and Lou two houses in the palace.

There are rooms and walls in the palace.

And the celestial branch also has an important definition in astronomy (in fact, I don't understand what the definition is, just copy the original text), the earliest as recorded in the "Historical Records of the Heavenly Officials": "Observe the sun and the moon to move the stars of the year." It is said that the Oriental Wood, the main spring, the day A B".

"Cha Gang Qi to deal with confusion. It is said that the fire in the south, the main summer, the day C, D".

"The meeting of the calendar will fill in the position of the stars. It is said that the central soil, the main season and summer, the sun and the sun" and so on.

The Five Elements Theory is a philosophical concept in ancient China, and it is a simple materialist view of the ancients to understand nature.

The five elements are divided into: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The Five Elements Doctrine is said to have originated from Yao Shun, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. But it was Zou Yan of the Yin and Yang family who really carried forward the five elements.

Zou Yan put forward the principle of "the five elements give birth to victory", believing that wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, and water gives birth to wood, which is the transformation form of the five elements, indicating that there is an antagonistic relationship between things, and there are ideological factors of simple materialism and dialectics.

The proposition of this theory is undoubtedly a great philosophical significance of epoch-making significance. Therefore, later generations commented: Yin and Yang are the end, and the five elements are victorious, and it is repeated when heaven and man are born. It is also quite objective and reasonable.

But Zou Yan's most important thought at that time was "five virtues always". The five virtues refer to the five virtues or properties of earth, wood, metal, fire, and water.

The "five virtues are the end" refers to the cyclic movement of these five properties from beginning to end and ending again. Every dynasty has one virtue, and if the ruler does not follow morality, the dynasty will decline in virtue and eventually be replaced by another. This is also a shackle and a warning to the emperor not to act recklessly.

This point is well expressed in "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period": When the Yellow Emperor was in the time, the heavens saw the big mole and the big mole. The Yellow Emperor said: "Rustic wins!" "The rustic spirit wins, so its color is still yellow, and its things are earthy.

At the time of Yu, the sage saw that the grass and trees would not be killed in autumn and winter. Yu said: "Wood gas wins!" "Wood wins, so its color is still green, and its things are wood.

At the time of the soup, the heavenly seer saw that the golden blade was born of water. Tang said: "Jin Qi wins!" Gold wins, so its color is still white, and its things are golden.

At the time of King Wen, the sky saw the fire, and the red bird title Dan book was collected in the Zhou Society. King Wen said; "Anger wins!" The fire wins, so its color is still red, and its things are fire.

The one who replaces the fire will be water, and the sky will see the water and gas win. Water vapor wins, so its color is still black, and its thing is water.

It can be seen from this that the Yellow Emperor belonged to Tude, the Xia Dynasty belonged to Mude, the Shang Dynasty belonged to Jinde, and the Zhou Dynasty belonged to Huode. And the replacement of fire virtue must be water virtue.

After Qin Shi Huang swept Liuhe, he also adopted this statement, thinking that the rule of water virtue is resolute and profound, and everything is decided by the law.

At the same time, the saying of the five elements is also widely used in astronomy, and the "Historical Records of Heavenly Officials" records:

"The salty pond of the West Palace, said to be the five days of the sky. Five Huang, five emperor car house. Fire in, drought. Kim, Bing. Water, water (disaster). There are three pillars, and the pillars are not possessed, and the soldiers rise. ”。

"If the north falls slightly, the military star moves the corner Yixi, and the five-star prisoner falls north, enters the army, and the army rises. Fire, gold, and water are especially severe: fire, military worries. Water, suffer. Wood, earth, military ji. "Wait.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the expression of the Five Elements was gradually absorbed by Taoism and medicine, and began to refer to human organs and human morality, making significant contributions to the medical field.

To sum up, the five elements of the sexagenary branch have had a very important impact on Chinese secular culture, and they have influenced all aspects of our lives to this day, integrating into our blood and civilization, and are an important part of Chinese civilization. We should inherit it reasonably, so that the wisdom of our ancestors can be carried forward in our generation.
