Volume 4: A Brief Discussion of Zhou Yi Gossip
Gossip can be found in the cloud of "Zhou Yi • Department of Resignation": "The ancients Bao Xi, the king of the world, looked up at the sky, and looked down at the law on the ground; The text of bird watching and beasts is suitable for the place; Take all the bodies closely, take all things far away, so he began to gossip, with the virtue of the gods, and the feelings of all things. [1] Bagua was born from Taiji, Liangyi, and Sixiang, "Four Elephants give birth to Bagua".
Bagua, which is also an esoteric concept of ancient Chinese culture, is a set of metaphysical philosophical symbols composed of three sets of yin and yang. Its profound philosophy explains natural and social phenomena.
The gossip is lined up, and the image is in it; Therefore, it is important to be in it; Rigidity and softness push each other, and change in it; It is a matter of resignation and fate, and it is in it.
The basis of the formation of the eight trigrams is the image of change, and the basis of the double hexagram lies in the change, and "the line is in it" is the internal motivation of the flow of the Yi Dao.
Bagua represents the yin and yang system of things that change themselves, using "one" to represent yang and "--" to represent yin, using these two symbols, according to the yin and yang changes of nature, in parallel combination, forming eight different forms, called Bagua.
Bagua is actually the earliest written expression symbol, which is used in Chinese culture as a tool to deduce the relationship between various things in the world, space, time, and like the "five elements of yin and yang". Each hexagram represents a certain thing.
Qian represents the sky, Kun represents the earth, Xun (xùn) represents the wind, Zhen represents thunder, Kan represents water, Li represents fire, Gen (gèn) represents the mountain, and Dui represents Ze.
Bagua is like eight infinite and invisible big pockets, which contain everything in the universe, and the gossip is matched with each other and becomes sixty-four trigrams, which are used to symbolize various natural phenomena and human phenomena.
Innate gossip
Shao Yong (Northern Song Dynasty) called Fuxi Bagua the Congenital Bagua, and this arrangement was recorded in the Huangji Jingshi, and there were innate Bagua diagrams circulating shortly after his death.
The innate Bagua diagram is usually paired with the Taiji diagram, which is the mixed element and chaos of yin and yang, so some people call the "Taiji-style innate Bagua" the mixed element Bagua.
The main basis of the innate gossip is in the "Zhou Yi • Saying Hexagram Biography": "Heaven and earth are positioned, the mountains and rivers are ventilated, the thunder and wind are thin, and the water and fire do not shoot each other." The gossip is wrong, the number of the past is smooth, and the one who knows the future is reversed, so it is easy to reverse the number."
The day after tomorrow gossip
Painted by King Wen of Zhou, the holy monarch of the Zhou Dynasty.
The main basis of the gossip of the day after tomorrow is in "Zhou Yi • The Legend of the Hexagram": "The emperor is shocked, Qi is Xun, see each other is separated, serve Qi Kun, say what he says, fight like dry, work hard and make words ...... Gen".
The day after tomorrow gossip talks about the day after tomorrow. With Qian as the father, Kun as the mother, Zhen as the eldest man, Xun as the eldest daughter, Kan as the middle man, Li as the middle woman, Gen as the young man, and Dui as the girl.

Gossip generation
"Dictionaries": It is easy to have Taiji, which is to give birth to two rituals, two rituals to give birth to four elephants, and four elephants to give birth to gossip.
It is easy to have Taiji, which is to give birth to two instruments: Taiji generates two instruments of yin and yang, one yin and one yang, two yin and yang, and yang "—" and yin "- -".
The two rituals give birth to four images: yin and yang, and four images are born: the sun, less yin, less yang, and too yin.
The four elephants give birth to gossip: the four elephants derive the third line, which is for the gossip.
