Chapter 155: Tracing the Past and the Present
In the Song Dynasty, Zhang Xingcheng, Zheng Dongqing, and Luo Yuan's innate Taiji diagrams did not attract enough attention for a long time. This continued until the early years of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, people began to pay real attention to this kind of diagram.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Pseudoqian contained a diagram of "Yin and Yang Fish" in the "Original Meaning of the Six Books", which was considered by scholars to be the first "Taiji diagram" in the past, and it seems that this conclusion should be rewritten.
However, at that time, it was not called "Taiji Diagram", but "Heaven and Earth Natural River Diagram" (Hu Wei quoted it as "Heaven and Earth Natural Diagram"). Zhao Yuqian explained: During the Fuxi period, there were dragons and horses in the Yellow River in the Xingyang area carrying this map to the surface, so it was called "river map", "Zhou Yi" said "river map", "Shangshu" said "river map in the east order", which refers to this map, not to refer to the nine number map or ten number map.
There are some differences between Zhao Yuqian's picture and Zhang Xingcheng's picture: (1) The outer circle of Zhao Tu is the congenital gossip, and the Zhang picture is the congenital sixty-four hexagrams. (2) Zhao Tu's "fish head" is angular and long, and the "fish eye" is long and tear-stained, while the "fish head" in Zhang Tu has soft lines and a round "fish eye".
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Zhongquan wrote "Taoist Zhengzong", which contained the "Ancient Taiji Diagram", which was the first time in the existing literature that this diagram was called "Ancient Taiji Diagram". Compared with Zhao Yuqian's picture, four lines were added to the "Yin and Yang Fish" and divided into eight areas. (Hu Wei thinks that Luo Yuan's "river map" that contains yin and yang is like this.) )
This corresponds more strictly to the number of yin and yang digits of the hexagram and the black and white variation of the "yin and yang fish diagram". In this sense, the Taiji diagram (the Taiji diagram composed of two semicircles is the most popular) in later generations is incorrect, and it does not conform to the original meaning of the hexagram that strictly corresponds to the number of hexagrams. Later, in the title of this diagram, it was basically unified, and this diagram was finally named "Taiji Diagram", which has been used to this day.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was also a famous Yi scholar Lai Zhide (1525~1604), who himself created a similar Taiji diagram, contained in the "Illustrated Commentary on the Book of Changes".
This diagram is named "Circle Diagram" or "Taiji Diagram", which means that yin and yang are mutual—the anode produces yin, and the cathode produces yang. It is a slight modification of the traditional Taiji diagram, but it has not become popular.
In the conversation that was about to end, Hua Feng heard the transformed character conclude:
1. The ideological origin of the "Yin and Yang Fish" Taiji diagram can be pushed back to the concept of Yin and Yang in the primitive era, but the relevant graphics and symbols of the primitive era are not and cannot be directly derived from the "Yin and Yang Fish" Taiji diagram.
2. The "Yin and Yang Fish" Taiji diagram is related to Taoism, and some of the relevant views of Hu Wei in the Song and Yuan dynasties and the Qing Dynasty are basically credible, and this relationship is mainly reflected in the ideas and concepts of Neidan, Yin and Yang. "Water and Fire Kuang Kuo Diagram" and "Three Five to Jing Tu" also cannot directly deduce the "Yin and Yang Fish" Taiji Diagram.
3. Regarding the views of Chen Shu or Xue Weng, Shu hermits, and Qingcheng Mountain hermits to create or first pass on the "Yin Yang Fish" Taiji diagram, because there is no way to verify it, it can only be doubted, and it cannot be easily denied, nor can it be simply affirmed.
4. The earliest "Yin Yang Fish" Taiji Fish in the existing literature comes from Zhang Xingcheng's "Yixuan" in the Southern Song Dynasty. This picture is not infiltrated by the descendants of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, which can be confirmed from the text content of "Yixuan" and "Yitong Change".
5. The "Yin and Yang Fish" Taiji diagram was transformed (simplified) by Zhao Yuqian in the early Ming Dynasty and finalized by Zhao Zhongquan in the late Ming Dynasty. The Taiji diagram composed of two semicircles (including the arrangement of the left and right semicircles, the upper and lower semicircles, etc.) that appeared later did not conform to the original meaning.
Later, he also learned about the key figures of the modern Tai Chi inheritance: one of them, Tai Chi Xu, who is really calligraphy, alias Taishan Old Farmer.
The essence of the family tradition during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty: the essence of Chinese culture such as Taijiquan method, I Ching, and Neijing. In many years of practice, Tai Chi Xu believes that the truth, the easy reason, and the fist theory are all in one know, and all the tricks can - all things follow the yin and yang rationality, and the knowledge is reasonable. This is true of "Wen" (I Ching) and "Wu" (Taijiquan, etc.).
Putting together the palms is a respect, bowing down to the body, and everything is done to nature, and you can attain the Tao. If you understand this principle between tastes, you can go up to the economic and business fortunes, down to the family and personal fortunes, and you can observe the governor (potential) and know the people.
Second, Chen Xiaowang, born in 1945, served as a member of the 7th National Committee*, the 7th CPPCC of Henan Province, the chairman of the Henan Chen-style Taijiquan Association, and the chairman of the Henan Wushu Association. He is the representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage project, the head of Chenjiagou Chen's Taijiquan, the honorary president of Chenjiagou Chen's Taijiquan Association, the president of the World Chen Xiaowang Taijiquan Association, the honorary president of the China Wufu Elite Association, the international Taijiquan master, and the founder of Jiutaiji. He has participated in the filming of films such as "Tai Chi Shengong", "Shen Beggar", and "Chen-style Taijiquan".
The "World Chen Xiaowang Chen-style Taijiquan Association", founded by Master Chen, has established branches in more than 30 countries and regions, and promoted Taijiquan in dozens of countries and hundreds of cities around the world, with 300,000 foreign disciples. He has edited books such as "The Legend of Chen's Taijiquan" and "Chen's Thirty-Eight Styles of Taijiquan", as well as many papers such as "On the Five Layers of Kung Fu of Chen's Taijiquan", "The Strength of Chen's Taijiquan" and "The Shaking Bar of Chen's Taijiquan", which have made outstanding contributions to enriching the theoretical research of Taijiquan. In January 2013, Mr. Chen Xiaowang, together with Yao Ming, Mo Yan, Confucius Institute and other ten people (or institutions) won the "Light of China Dissemination of Chinese Culture Person of the Year" jointly recognized by CCTV and CCTV.
In the past, Tai Chi was also highly regarded in the local attention.
Mr. Ming Cidong, director of the Taijitu Cultural Research Institute of Chengdu's large-scale public lecture "Chengdu Stories and 100 Schools", presented his research results on Taijitu for 6 years, saying that he had submitted a declaration of more than 30,000 words to the Sichuan Provincial Department of Culture to launch the action of Taijitu to declare the world intangible cultural heritage, and had received a reply from the Provincial Department of Culture.
The lecture, titled "Taiji Diagram and Bagua Exploration", attracted more than 300 citizens to sit at the scene of "Chengdu Stories and Hundred Schools". Ming Cidong's opening remarks shocked the public: "Produced more than 6,000 years ago, the Taijitu is the first invention in China, more than 3,000 years earlier than the four major inventions, it is the ancestor of Chinese culture, the symbol of the Chinese nation." It's definitely not just that many people mistakenly believe that Tai Chi and Bagua are just emblems and symbols for fortune telling. ”
According to Ming Cidong, in the thousand-year-long time, the ancients gradually formed the Taiji diagram on the basis of the understanding of the circle, symmetrical shape, totem, yin and yang concepts. The Taiji diagram, which embodies the wisdom of the Chinese nation, is concentrated in the textile wheels and ceramic vessels, and now only the most powerful evidence can be found from archaeology. "Not only in the field of philosophical dialectic, Taijitu also has an important influence on science, but few people know about it. Ming Cidong threw out one heavy point after another.
Ming Cidong used multimedia to show a "Panda Taiji Map" based on the national treasure giant panda and designed according to the Taiji diagram: "Sichuan is the hometown of the national treasure giant panda, and I suggest that the panda Taiji diagram be used as the emblem of Sichuan Province, so that the national treasure panda representing Sichuan and the Taiji diagram representing the original Chinese culture are integrated." ”
At the same time, Ming Cidong also designed a special "Taiji map" to declare the world's intangible cultural heritage: "I have submitted a more than 30,000 words, 18-page "declaration form" and a proposal letter to the Sichuan Provincial Department of Culture, proposing to declare the world-class intangible cultural heritage on the Taiji map, so that this Chinese original cultural treasure can have a more far-reaching impact on China and the world, and also avoid the repetition of the incident of South Korea's rush to bid for the Dragon Boat Festival on the Taiji map."
In the reply letter from the Sichuan Provincial Department of Culture to Ming Cidong, the Provincial Department of Culture made it clear: "You will report your suggestions and the content of the application to * as soon as possible." We will consult with the National Expert Advisory Committee on Intangible Cultural Heritage. ”
Ming Cidong believes that if the conventional procedures are followed, it will take at least nearly 10 years to declare it as a world-class intangible cultural heritage, "In the declaration of Taijitu, I hope to break the routine and quickly declare, so that the traditional cultural treasure of the Chinese nation can be protected and inherited at a high level as soon as possible." ”
......
These historical events slowly became pictures in Hua Feng's mind.
Unconsciously, Hua Feng's state of mind slowly improved, expanded, and stared with the rotation of Tai Chi. Maybe he didn't realize it himself, such a long time of thinking has driven his cultivation to rise by leaps and bounds, although the actual vitality reserves have not yet reached the same level of cultivators, but the realm of cultivation is already the high level of the Yuan Emperor, and the power that once contained in the limbs and hundreds of bones is turning into a trace of energy to fill his dantian.
This golden brilliance has been around for a day and a night, and the school has specially approved Yun Meng and Bai Feng to guard aside. As the cradle of young cultivators becoming stronger, Shuguang Academy's response policies in all aspects are relatively perfect.
Being able to stay by Hua Feng's side, Yun Meng felt a lot more at ease. When the faint artificial light of the dungeon projected over, she saw that Bai Feng was also looking at Hua Feng's figure sitting on the bed with a worried face. It seems that the flowing brilliance also touches her girl's heart.
"Brother Hua Feng, you must wake up well, for the sake of so many people who care about you. Yun Meng was silently worried in her heart, she knew that maybe it would be difficult for her Hua Feng brother to be her own Hua Feng brother, in this era, the fact that several girls like one person at the same time has become harmonious and coexistent.
It's just these, I'm not ready yet, when Brother Hua Feng was separated last time, the Tianhu named Nangong looked at you exactly the same as Bai Feng at this moment. Yun Meng knew in his heart that maybe his status in his heart had not changed much, but the thought of maybe having a person with two girls who were also as beautiful as flowers, Yun Meng's heart felt a deep sense of jealousy.
Many times, the feelings of these little girls, she just hid them in her heart, she didn't dare to say anything, and she was afraid that others would know her careful thoughts, but fortunately, as dusk fell, looking at Bai Feng's concerned eyes, who were also worried about Hua Feng, Yun Meng felt a little more relieved in her heart.
