The South China Sea Returns to the Ruins Chapter 9 Navigation Taboos (I)

Since ancient times, the art of touching the gold school captain is based on the "Book of Changes" at the head of the group of scriptures, so I saw dozens of pieces of blue-headed ancient jade scattered in the sea, in the picture drawn by Professor Chen, it can be synthesized into a complete jade carving, the jade man in the shape of the siren is "shining the candle divination turtle", and from the style of the candle eight doors, it seems to be deducing the hexagram in the innate gossip, the innate gossip is likely to be based on the profound and mysterious sixteen-character trigram for the purpose, which makes me not frightened?

I quickly settled down, returned to the fisherman's house with Professor Chen, and turned out the box of green heads, trying to find out which moment the hexagram was on the back of the jade turtle, but found that most of the most important places engraved with the hexagram were soaked in decay, and the remains of small marine creatures were deposited on it.

Seeing that I couldn't come back to my senses after staring at the jade sculpture for a long time, Professor Chen gently patted me on the shoulder and said: "Judging from the ornamentation and craftsmanship, this jade figure is probably something used to worship the god Bu Wu in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but there has never been a similar shape of cultural relics in Chinese mainland, it is very likely that it is the remains of the seabed that were introduced into the country of hatred in the Zhou Dynasty, this is a priceless treasure, where did it come from?" What do you think? What can be seen from the hexagram? "Although he is an old pedant, he mainly focuses on the culture of the ancient Western Regions, and is not an expert who is easy to learn.

I shook my head, this jade carving was originally the "green head" that we accidentally received, and we planned to transport it back to Beijing, find someone to make a living color and incense, and sell it for a big price, but I never thought that there would be such a big secret hidden in it, if it is really as the "breaking force" said, there was a boat-swallowing sea beast that died on the shore during the tsunami, this jade carving was obtained from the fishing boat that buried the beast in the belly, so it is difficult to determine its ins and outs.

But Professor Chen and I both know very well that during the period of the Yin Shang and Western Zhou dynasties, and even the Eastern Zhou states, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the ruling class's decisions on most things were carried out through the results of Wu Bu. They will be the results of the previous divination, as well as the things verified after the fact, are recorded in detail on the tortoise shell keel, from a certain Cheng dรน point of view, the tortoise shell and the bell and the bell are almost equally important, the so-called identification pattern on the jade carving, the ornament can prove its age, because the same oracle bone inscription and inscription, according to the different times, also have their differences, from the shape of the division, the Xia Dynasty used the bird trace seal, the Shang Dynasty is mostly insect and fish traces, to the Western Zhou Dynasty, all use the insect and fish seal, although later Chinese characters are unified, However, there are still differences between the dynasties, the Qin Dynasty used the large and small seals, the Han Dynasty used the small seal Lishu, the Three Kingdoms used the official book, the two Jin Dynasty to the Song Dynasty used the regular script, and the Tang Dynasty used the Kaili plus Yin Zhi, many signs can indicate the age of this jade carving.

The inscription Zhong Ding, the dragon bone of the book of heaven, all record the secrets of the major events at that time, it was the era when Zhou Yi was prevalent, if you can solve the hexagram of the Siren lighting the candle, you can understand many long-lost secrets, the hating heaven is almost equivalent to Atlantis in the East, how many secrets and treasures do you have? It is even possible to get a glimpse of the mystery of the sixteen-character hexagram, but unfortunately this jade man has been sinking in the sea for thousands of years, and with our current conditions on the island, it is still difficult to peel off the surface of the sea erosion and decay, so it is impossible to know the truth in this turtle divination hexagram for the time being.

Professor Chan once heard Shirley Yang say that I have been reading Yi almost every day lately. He encouraged me and said that if he could repair the ancient jade after returning to Beijing, he would ask me to come back for research and research after the hexagram was restored.

I thought to myself that this was originally the green head I received, how could I listen to the meaning of this, and I would have nothing to do when I went back to Beijing? Professor Chen really didn't see me, and confiscated it directly, which is nothing, but I didn't learn Yili out of love for Chinese culture, and when it comes to motives, it is even more impure. In addition, the most important thing is to improve the understanding of the sixteen-character yin and yang feng shui secret technique, but I can't say this in front of Professor Chen, I heard him ask me about my experience of Yi Li, so I casually told Professor Chen about my recent experience of learning Yi, of course, most of them were heard from Zhang Yingchuan.

In the past, I only knew Feng Shui and did not know Yin and Yang, in fact, the word Yi is the general trick of Feng Shui, the Tao of Feng Shui pursues the unity of heaven and man, in fact, Yin and Yang are both opposites and unified, this is what Yi Zhong said by pushing the way of heaven to clarify people, the way of heaven and humanity is a whole, life in the world should imitate the sky, imitate the earth.

Imitate the sky, be able to be vigorous and promising, full of vitality, and a gentleman should be self-improving; If you imitate the land, you will become generous, tolerant and benevolent, eternal humility and harmony, the terrain is good, and the gentleman will carry things with virtue.

I talked to Professor Chen about some theories in the Book of Changes, and then we talked more deeply, based on our experience a while ago, in a sense, there is an unclear relationship between the innate sixteen hexagrams and the exquisite ghost cave, the dragon bone heavenly book, and the phoenix gall, since this jade man is likely to be an antiquity in the country of hatred of the sky, is it possible that the hexagram in it is related to the sea eye? Will the ruins of the country of hatred on the sea be swept away by the eyes of the sea? Of course, these are all my subjective guesses, and if I don't see it with my own eyes, probably no one can say clearly.

Professor Chen instructed again: "This time I went to sea to look for the bone mirror of King Qin, of course it is best to find it, if you can't find it, don't risk approaching the sea eye in the coral spiral, it is recorded in ancient books, the sea eye is returned to the ruins, don't think about it if you are sucked in, no one knows what disaster the haters encountered back then, once you have three long and two short ......"

I advised him: "Don't worry, we are only on a salvage mission this time, in order to find the national treasure in the wreck, and by the way, we will collect eggs to make some foreign money, and we are not a death squad that takes the self-destructive route, and we will never do anything too risky." "After a long conversation, before I knew it, it was almost dawn, and according to the original plan, we were going to sea in the morning, so I simply didn't sleep, and beckoned the fat man and the others to get ready to go.

This day is the auspicious day of the zodiac to go to sea, in the morning to sacrifice the god of the sea, not only our Trident, the rest of the fishing boats are also out to sea operations, everyone in repeated preparation and waiting for many days, finally about to set sail into the sea, all of them are full of spirit, can not hold back the excitement in their hearts.

Experienced egg people Ruan Hei, before going to sea to us put forward a lot of requirements to follow the customs, fishermen and egg people taboo many, no less than the inverted bucket craftsmen, and the customs are extremely unique, the most taboo to say turn, buckle, pour a kind of words, who dares to mention these words at sea, the boat boss has the right to throw who into the sea to feed the fish, if the driving is a sailboat, the "sail" will touch the "turn" of the mold, so the fishermen and egg people call the sailboat a tent, has always called the "sail" as "Peng", "Sail" is commonly known as "Peng", "Sail" is commonly known as "Peng" Or "open canopy".
