"Old man, teach me to learn the Book of Changes."

Lu Jiu's current method of opening acupuncture points requires knowledge related to the Book of Changes.

If you can understand a little bit of the I Ching, your medical skills will also be improved.

What's more, Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, also said, "Those who don't know how to change are not enough to say that they are too doctors." ”

If a Chinese medicine practitioner doesn't even understand the I Ching, then he can only be an ordinary Chinese medicine doctor forever, so if you want to reach the level of medicine, you must learn the I Ching, and you have to learn it well!

Lu Jiu is the only one who can understand the Book of Changes.

"Well, then I'll pack the leeks first." The old man laughed.

After saying that, the old man went into the hall, put the leeks in the basin into a large bowl, sealed it with white gauze, washed his hands, and took out a yellowed booklet from the room.

"If you learn the Book of Changes, first know the hexagrams, I will tell you the sixty-four hexagrams first, you memorize slowly, remember first and then comprehend ......"

At night, the old man relied on a lamp hanging on the eaves with a low wattage, but his eyes were as usual, his vision was not hindered at all, and he was seventy or eighty years old and had no presbyopia, which was also a kind of ability.

"Qian: Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen. Ninth day of the first month: Hidden dragon, don't use it. Ninety-two: See the dragon in the field, and see the lord. Ninety-three: The gentleman works all day long, and he is not to blame ......"

"The Yuan, the weather, the Yuan, the beginning of the weather; Henry, Tongda also; Those who benefit will benefit also; The chaste, the occupant, the observation is also ......"

“……”

The old man spoke very carefully, in addition to reciting the ancient text for Lu Jiu to memorize, he would also translate the meaning and tell it.

Rao was like this, and Lu Jiu also had a hard time listening to it.

Fortunately, Lu Jiu himself also knows some learning methods, and when the old man was explaining, he picked up a broken red brick by himself and drew while listening.

Hexagrams, are all composed of yao, at the same time of painting, the heart, eyes and hands are there, and then with the ears to listen, so that you can enhance the memory point, so as not to turn your head and forget.

As for when to understand, it is natural to listen to it a few more times and see its meaning.

Before I knew it, an hour or two had passed, but the old man had only spoken five hexagrams.

"Huh~ Old man, it's okay, I'm afraid I'm going to blow up if I keep talking." Lu Jiudao.

When he heard it, he was almost forgetting the content of the first trigram, and in this state, it was meaningless to listen to it any longer.

"Hehehe, take your time, if you feel struggling, then I'll talk less later." The old man laughed.

"Actually, I'm quite curious about how this hexagram came about, and why did the ancients use such things for learning?" Lu Jiu asked.

"There are changes in the Tao, so it is said; There are waiting, so it is said to be a thing; Things are mixed, so it is said to be written; The text is inappropriate, so the good and the bad are born. This sentence should be able to explain the doubts in your heart, the yao is just a symbolic interpretation of the natural changes of the ancestors, one horizontal for the yang, two horizontal for the yin, the change of yin and yang will produce changes in matter, the same is water, there are mountain water, the water of the sea, there are also snow water, rain, the time is different, the change is different, so, the standard determines the nature of things, the time determines the development of things, everything intersects, it can be written, the text is not appropriate means that the yang is not in the yang, the yin is not in the yin, at this time there will be a change of good and evil, and there will be a hexagram, for example, If virtue is not matched, there will be a bad omen. The old man said.

When Lu Jiu heard this, he pondered for a moment, and he suddenly thought of the first sentence of the opening chapter of the Yin and Yang Correspondence of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, "Yin and Yang, the way of heaven and earth, the outline of all things, the parents of change, the origin of life and death, and the house of the gods." ”

The meaning of this sentence is not difficult to understand, probably that yin and yang are the avenues of the movement of heaven and earth in the universe, the outline of all things, the origin of the changes of all things, the origin of the birth and death of all things, and the place of the gods.

In the Book of Changes, the yin and yang are replaced by concrete symbols such as the hexagram, and then the hexagram is derived, and each hexagram has its own explanation of the rules of heaven and earth, that is, the ancient ancestors were studying the rules of heaven and earth from the beginning, and also gave a series of deduction formulas.

The I Ching is the sum of these formulas!

But how exactly did they combine these rules with hexagrams?

Lu Jiuguang felt that his head was big just thinking about it, not to mention how terrible the ancients who created these things must be.

Regardless of whether these things are true or not, and whether their interpretation of the rules of heaven and earth is reasonable, just creating these things already requires wisdom that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

If all this knowledge is fake, can I Ching really deceive one after another extremely intelligent ancients in thousands of years of Chinese civilization?

Lu Jiu thought of those remarks on the Internet that ridiculed the ancients, and couldn't help laughing, if you talk about knowledge, people now are indeed stronger than the ancients, but in terms of wisdom, just a geodynamic instrument made by an ancient, modern technology has not been able to reproduce it so far, which can show that the ancients are not as stupid as we imagined.

After all, the computer that is leading the scientific and technological revolution today has its binary principle no different from the theory of yin and yang, and it is the Chinese people, Zhu Chuanyu, who combines binary and electronic circuits to bring revolutionary algorithms to computers.

Coincidentally, when a certain country announced the list of scientific researchers, this one was the only one missing.

So much so that now, when it comes to the inventor of the computer, few people know that there is still this big guy.

"Old man, you said that if our original science and technology in Huaxia were not broken, and we developed according to the theory of yin and yang, would we create a scientific and technological world that is different from now?" Lu Jiu asked with a smile.

The old man shook his head, "No. ”

Lu Jiu was puzzled, "Are you so sure?" ”

The old man smiled, "There is no creation in this world, everything is just discovery." ”

Lu Jiudao, "There is no creation? What are so many inventions from ancient times to the present? Found? ”

The old man smiled, "Yes." ”

Lu Jiu thought that the old man didn't understand, "What about mobile phones and computers, as well as rockets and satellites researched by the state, these are also discoveries?" ”

The old man smiled, "Both." ”

Lu Jiu frowned, "Old man, if you want to say that, it's a bit idealistic." ”

The old man said with a smile, "Creation is a process from scratch, whether it is a mobile phone or a computer, or a rocket satellite, the raw materials they have, and the various doctrine systems they need, have long existed in this world, thousands of years ago, but no one knows, no one explores, and naturally no one discovers." ”

"The world you and I know has its own unique laws, it will develop to a certain extent, open up some things to human beings, and the key factor that determines the degree of development is the productive forces named by modern doctrines, when the productive forces coincide with the laws of heaven and earth, God will give human beings a thought, this idea will drive him to discover new things, so even if Huaxia science and technology will not be interrupted, when the productivity does not reach the degree of consistency with the law, new things will still not be born."

It's a bit winding.

Lu Jiu felt that the old man's words had broken his understanding of science.

But what he said doesn't seem to be entirely unreasonable.

"Then according to your meaning, everything we have now is given by God?" Lu Jiu asked.

The old man smiled, "There must still be some kind of raw materials that will dominate the future world in this world, and the laws they have, if God doesn't give it, how can you find out?" Just like the thought you have at this point, is that really your own thought? Could it be the idea that it was bred by the influence of family, education, society, environment, etc.? How much of the initiative do you have, can you tell the difference? ”

Lu Jiu was at a loss.

My thoughts, not my thoughts?

Is it shaped by the world, what I thought I thought?

It's a bit of a mess!

The brain is a little messy!

Lu Jiu can be regarded as having blown up his CPU now!

For a long time, Lu Jiu stared at the old man, "Old man, am I still me?" ”

The old man laughed, "Of course you are you, all external things in this world can be given by God, but only life comes from nothing, so everyone is the most special existence, which is why we Taoists want to cultivate this life, not the next life!" ”

"The greed, hatred, and obsession that people have are just a test given to us by God, and if we care too much, we will only lose our hearts, so we will follow the heavens, the Tao is natural, and we will pursue the origin of all laws, so that we have no desires and no desires, no disasters and no diseases, which is the greatest practice in our lives.
