What does Gankun mean?

Gan Kun? 【qián kán】?

Basic explanation

A pair of categories of China's ancient philosophy. Refers to the two opposites of heaven and earth or yin and yang. Zhouyi uses "dry" to represent heaven and yang, and "Kun" to represent earth and yin. Later used to refer to heaven and earth.

Gankun is a concept created by Confucius in the Book of Changes to describe the operating mechanism of the universe, and it is a category customized and constructed to establish the philosophical system of Zhouyi. The boy questioned Yi's theory: the so-called "Yi" and "the accuracy of heaven and earth" means that the universe schema described in Yi is consistent and isomorphic with the natural universe.

The sages looked up at astronomy, looked down at geography, approached everything, and photographed everything from afar, and found that the inherent rules of things lie in yin and yang (sun, moon, heaven and earth, male and female, male and female, parity, temperament, temperament, etc. ), so I took the analogy and began to draw gossip. Gan and Kun are two hexagrams in the eight diagrams. Dry for the sky, Kun for the earth, and dry Kun represents heaven and earth.

Gan Kun generally represents heaven and earth, yin and yang.
