The Mysteries of the Book of Changes Series - Zeng Shiqiang

Episode 1: What is the Book of Changes

Book of Changes: The First of the Group

In fact, it is the beginning of the Group of Classics, the overall source of Chinese culture, the beginning of hundreds of schools of thought, and a reflection on the mysteries of the I Ching.

Explanation: No matter how you say it, it is correct, no matter how you say it, it is partially correct.

The study of the Book of Changes must be broad and inclusive.

People have three saints, and there are three right officials in the world.

Fuxi, King Wen of Zhou and his son, Confucius

The Book of Changes is collective wisdom. It is: vast and subtle, all-encompassing.

It is big and has no outside, and its small has no inside.

The Book of Changes is a treasure book that unlocks the code of life in the universe

People can spread the Tao, but the Tao cannot spread people. ——Confucius

Three keys:

1. Fuxi Bagua (Chinese superstitions and evil spirits may have some validity.)

Yin and Yang It is the most basic element that makes up the universe.

2. King Wen 64 Hexagram

The concept of number is not a mathematical concept.

This matter is just one and two, two and one. The numbers in the I Ching will change. (Easily numbered)

Passwords must be inseparable from numbers.

3. "Ten Wings" by Confucius

Success does not have to be mine

Fuxi

Chinese people never worship idols.

Serving the people is an unchangeable law at all times and in all countries.

Digital Age

The more you explain to Chinese people, the more confused they become.

Looking up (celestial phenomena)

Looking down (self)

Wide angle (thoughtful, thorough)

Learn from nature and use nature as a teacher .

The I Ching is a system developed based on nature

Natural science + human ethics

The significance of learning the I Ching:

1. Correct many previous specious concepts

Confidence: Since God is blessing you, everything will be good and bad.

Chinese people’s confidence is in God, not in themselves.

Should people have confidence?

Universal value

2. Mystical and moral

3. Seeking common ground while reserving differences

Lecture 2: What is Yin and Yang< /p>

Yang: expanding outward. Yin: shrink inward.

It is Yang during the day and Yin at night.

The sky is Yang and the earth is Yin.

The palm of the hand is yang and the back of the hand is yin.

Yin and Yang are not separate.

The thumb is Yang and the four fingers are Yin.

The head is yang and the feet are yin.

Odd numbers are yang and even numbers are yin.

Do more hand movements

Yin and Yang are constantly changing and inseparable.

Buds are yang and leaves are yin.

True and false are yin and yang.

The yin and yang relationship of the structure of the hand. There is yin in yang, and there is yang in yin.

Twenty-eight stars, fingers.

Chinese people say two things at the same time: courtesy comes first, and you must do your part.

Don’t judge heroes based on success or failure. The successful one is the king and the loser is the bandit.

People have the same mind and the same principle. People's hearts are different, each has its own face.

It depends.

1. Yin and yang are relative 2. Yin and yang will change 3. Yin and yang are unified (think about things together)

Jiujiu Guiyi acupuncture muscles and collaterals (are meridians)

p>

Don’t believe what I see.

Tai Chi? Liangyi?

1. Circle diagram (change) 2. Don’t hurt others (you can’t be tactful, you must learn to be tactful) If the yin does not exist, the yang will not grow. 3. Interaction of yin and yang (don’t be jealous of evil)

Yang represents the ideal of life, while yin means being down-to-earth.

One is also two, one is divided into two, and two are combined into one.

Yang comes first, Yin comes last.

Unity means that there is yang within yin and yin within yang.

The inside of the arm is yin, and the outside is yang.

Two sides of one body, following each other like shadows.

中华

中: Don't interpret things literally.

In the middle is Tai Chi, which is the source of all things.

My Tao is consistent - Confucius

Benevolence - Loyalty and Forgiveness - Goodness

Benevolence is the core thing, and everything in the world has it

Episode 3: What is Tai Chi

Confucius paid attention to correct names. If the names are correct, the words will be correct. If the names are not correct, the words will not be correct.

Tai: One big and one small. Its bigness has no outside, its smallness has no inside.

Tai Chi is the platform for the survival of everything in the universe.

Only change can survive.

Yi You Tai Chi is the birth of Liangyi.

生(china)分(foreign)

Tai Chi is the unique gene of all things in the universe.

Tao produces one, which produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things. ——Lao Tzu

Nature: In the universe, except nature, nothing is dominant.

Tao follows nature

When judging right and wrong, as long as it is in line with nature, it must be right. Reflections on the Mysteries of the Book of Changes.

Ji: Go with nature. Fierce: unnatural.

Good or bad times are changing.

The so-called change is that it is difficult to predict.

A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. If I had known earlier, I just didn’t know.

There is no way for misfortune or blessing.

There is one constant in change, that is the law.

Circumferential flow, in a circular motion.

The truth is straight, but the road is always crooked.

The truth of rivers.

There is no level or slope.

One painting opens the sky.

There is no such thing as absolute or incoherent under the sky.

Kernel - nut.

Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing.

The Story of the Grasshopper of the Three Seasons

Summer insects cannot talk about ice

Talk about humans when you see people, talk about ghosts when you see ghosts

Yin and Yang are Tai Chi changes.

One yin and one yang are called Tao

One is also two

We believe in God

Everything that conforms to nature is correct , something that is unnatural must be wrong sooner or later.

Natural and artificial must be appropriate.

There are two elements in Tai Chi.

Episode 4 What is Bagua

Shaoyang (you need to get dressed when you get up in the morning), Laoyang (it’s very hot at noon, you need to rest)

During the day The two hours when the human body changes the fastest:

1. 11 am to 1 pm (noon, lunch break is good, but it should be moderate, 20-30 minutes)

Shaoyin (dusk), Laoyin (midnight)

2. 11 pm to 1 am (the best time to rest, it is the time when hematopoiesis is strongest)

Spring and summer are Yang, autumn and winter are yin.

Things are impermanent

Understanding the I Ching requires your own imagination. The sky is full of wind and fire, and the earth (a place of great virtue) is filled with thunder, mountains and rivers.

Heaven and earth, water, fire, thunder, wind, mountains and swamps

Heavenly stems (strong), heavenly movements are strong

Earthly Kun (soft)

Water ridges ( Owing to soil)

Huoli (sun, attachment)

Shangen (anything in life should be done in moderation, and don’t expect too much)

Hurry up when it’s time , should be slow, this is the principle of the Book of Changes.

Lei Zhen

Feng Xun (very uniform, pervasive)

Zedui (Yue)

The previous hundred days were forty-nine Sky

Episode 5: The Eight Trigrams Make a Picture

All cultures in the world started from myths.

Fuxi and Nuwa are hermaphroditic.

Philosophy focuses on questions, not answers: where do people come from, where do they go after they die, and what do they do in this life.

Those who don’t know are afraid.

Education

Everything in the world is judged by nature.

Qu Cheng

It is related to astronomy to observe the changes of time, and it is related to humanities to transform the world.

Time is also fate.

Be on time and be on call

Just don’t occupy it (Confucius)

The Analects of Confucius is the closing word, not the opening word, and there is a lot of background behind it.

It is enough to hear the truth in the morning and die in the evening. (For example, he died yesterday)

Day and night are yin and yang.

Chinese people say that death is not necessarily death.

Positioning: 1. Know what you should do 2. How to defend your position and score 3. Continuous improvement

The correct goal and direction is far more important than speed

p>

The history of tug-of-war (one direction, two positioning, three actions)

The three talents of heaven, earth and man (each has its own characteristics and functions)

Fuxi did a good job for mankind in heaven and earth positioning between. (Three-drawing hexagram)

Man is the spirit of heaven and earth.

Chinese heaven includes the earth.

The three talents of heaven, earth and man are one.

The responsibility of human beings is to make the universe more and more evolved.

The first is Yang, the second is Yin, and the third is all things.

The time, place, and people are favorable

Being neither three nor four is actually unkind

The sky has yin and yang, the earth has hardness and softness, and people have benevolence and righteousness

Jiji (the beginning of good fortune ends with chaos, extreme joy leads to sorrow), but not Jiji

It is not called the six-character hexagram, it is called the heavy hexagram. The sixty-four hexagrams are called full hexagrams, but they cannot be aligned.

Without contradictions, there will be no change, and without change, there will be no development.

Only wisdom can stand the test of time. Knowledge will not stand the test of time.

The three-draw hexagram is the result of expansion and recovery.

The sky changes, people trade, and the earth does not change.
