The Book of Changes (Beginner)
One could start from the following aspects: - Understanding the development of the Book of Changes: There are three books of the Book of Changes in the history of our country. They are the Lianshan Yi of the Xia Dynasty (with the Gen hexagram as the first hexagram, interpreted by Fuxi), the Guicang Yi of the Shang Dynasty (with the Kun hexagram as the first hexagram, interpreted by the Yellow Emperor), and the Zhouyi of the Zhou Dynasty (re-interpreted by King Wen of Zhou when he was imprisoned in Yali, with the Qian and Kun hexagrams as the opening hexagram). Lianshan Yi and Guicang Yi had been lost in the Han Dynasty, and the main thing that was passed down now was the Book of Changes. In the history of the Book of Changes, there were three important figures: Fuxi, King Wen of Zhou, and Confucius. Fuxi created the Eight Trigrams and the 64 hexagrams (the symbolic Yi stage), King Wen of Zhou created the hexagrams and the line statements (the literary Yi stage), and Confucius wrote the Yi biography (the philosophical Yi stage). - Master the basic concepts of the Book of Changes: - Line: Divides the Yin line (the broken horizontal line "- -", soft in nature, belonging to Yin, often represented by "six") and the Yang line, and forms the hexagram through the intersection of Yin and Yang. - Words: It is a conclusion, that is,"general words" and "general words". - Xiang: It was a method used by the ancients to classify and analyze things. Those that explained the divinatory symbols were called "elephants", and those that explained the lines were called "small elephants". - Yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen: Yuan symbolizes the beginning of things (corresponding to the sprouting of plants in spring); Heng symbolizes the growth of things (corresponding to the growth of plants in summer); Li symbolizes the harvest of things (corresponding to the blooming and fruiting of plants in autumn); Zhen symbolizes the collection of things (corresponding to the falling leaves of plants in winter). Zhen also has the meaning of "divination,""righteousness," and "determination." - Good, bad, regret, stingy, blame: Obedience to the truth of the Book of Changes is good, violation of the truth of the Book of Changes is bad; Regret is to know the fault after making a mistake and can correct it; Misery is to cover up the fault and not repent or have something in mind that cannot be let go; Blame means disaster. - Eight Trigrams, Original Divination, Dual Divination, Reverse Divination, and Change Divination: Eight Trigrams represented eight natural phenomena (Heaven, Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Mountain, and Marsh); Original Divination was the hexagram obtained from the beginning of the hexagram; Dual Divination (Wrong Divination) was the hexagram of Yin and Yang (such as Qian and Kun); Reverse Divination (Comprehensive Divination) was the hexagram obtained by rotating the original hexagram 180 degrees. - With the help of learning resources: You can watch Professor Zeng Shiqiang's lecture, Wisdom of the Book of Changes. In addition to the general theory and summary, the lecture explained the 64 hexagrams and combined them with life examples to help you understand the use of the Book of Changes and its meaning to life. - Memory hexagram names: First, familiarize yourself with the basic hexagram names of the Eight Trigrams. You can use the Eight Trigrams Taking Elephant Song in Zhu Xi's Zhouyi to memorize them. For the sixty-four hexagrams, one could recite Zhu Xi's Song of the Order of the Names of the Divination, or memorize the names of the hexagrams by divination. For example, one could use three copper coins to divinate and record the results to deepen the impression of the names of the hexagrams. In addition, one could also read related introductory books, such as Sun Zhensheng's "Book of Changes: Introduction", Chang Bingyi's "Book of Changes: Introduction", etc. These books were helpful in systematically learning the basic knowledge of the Book of Changes. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
