What are the eight directions of the Zhaizhai Li Kan earthquake?

The orientation of gossip is due west, Kan is due north, Li is due south, the earthquake is due east, Xun is southeast, Gen is northeast, Gan is northwest and Kun is southwest.

Wandering around the stars according to the eight houses, doing is anger, leaving five ghosts, long life, mourning is six evil spirits, hurdles are disasters, Kun is a doctor of heaven, and earthquakes are bad luck. Gossip represents the yin and yang system of things' own changes, "one" represents yang, and "-"represents yin. These two symbols are combined in parallel according to the changes of yin and yang in nature to form eight different forms, which are called eight diagrams. Gossip is actually the earliest written expression symbol.

brief introduction

"Twenty Books of Fuyuan in Yangzhai" said: "At the beginning of Gaijue, Tai Chi gave birth to two instruments, two instruments gave birth to four elephants, and four elephants gave birth to gossip. So strangers are divided into two positions, four in the east, four in the west and four in the west. It is said that cadres, Kun, root, right, Kan, reason, truth and Xun are gossip, which is the principle of nature. If Fuyuan (that is, the gossip attribute of the animal year) is wrong, then the east four repairs the west and the west four repairs the east, and the auspicious star becomes a bad star. Although the shape is good, it is useless and has the greatest relationship. "
