Significance of the triangle
In ancient times, people had the so-called nine layers of talent: within the seventh layer, the bundle is dense and soft; it belongs to the inner heaven, and the eighth layer of white membrane is slightly harder. , and the ninth layer is the hard shell layer. Eighty-one days after the second day of the summer solstice is the end of Yang Qi (near the autumnal equinox). On the ninth day of September, people can climb mountains to the ninth heaven to pray for blessings and resolve disasters. Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a custom of climbing high on the ninth day or paying homage to ancestors.
Since climbing is naturally inseparable from going up the mountain, every mountain must be taller. It is shaped like a triangle, which reminds me of the geometric shape of a triangle. It can extend upward to the tip; it can also be divided and expanded from top to bottom to the bottom level. The foundation; connecting the three parties constitutes the journey of life; occupying one party must be able to compete equally, so the meaning and mystery of the triangle are extremely profound.
A triangle is a geometric shape composed of three points that are regular (equilateral) or irregular (scalene). In summary, the three directions are divided into each other, forming a tangible relationship, or the three different relationships form an invisible stalemate.
Shaped triangles, for example: the shape of a mountain, no matter how its hills and mountains rise and fall, is classified into a solid triangle; the Egyptian pyramids, which are famous in ancient and modern times, are triangles; the tops of many religious temples and churches are triangular buildings; the constellations in the sky They often form a triangular arrangement; many areas on the earth form a triangular zone; people's faces are slightly triangular; trademarks, logos and practical utensils are countless more triangular...
Intangible triangular relationships such as: changes in yin and yang are derived from triangles (for example: Tai Chi produces two instruments; two instruments produce four images; four images produce Bagua; Bagua derives sixty-four hexagrams...), purple in numerology The number of triangles in micro-fighting is used to look at life (life palace; career palace; wealth palace). There are so-called triangular camps between countries (for example: the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu in ancient China; the Western and Third World camps), and different institutions have triangular interests. Containment wrestling; there is a triangular relationship between men and women.
Three-party relationships reveal mysteries
In metaphysics, the distinction between shaped triangles and invisible triangular relationships is as follows: innate Bagua (numbers generated by combinations) and acquired Bagua (eight directions hexagrams) , the former is the body (a specific combination is used to determine good or bad luck), and the latter is function (changes between each other to change good or bad luck).
The tangible triangle is defined as the shape of fire in the Five Elements (fire burns upward; it is shaped like a triangle). On the other hand, a triangle also has a tripod, which is conducive to the competition and survival of the country and commercial society, so it has many applications; The emblem and flag all adopt the shape of a triangle (such as: the tripod, which symbolized the hegemony of the princes in ancient China; the flag orders for commanding the army... all use triangles), and the triangle is designated as Wenchang in the magic number (the inner canon is used to integrate the nerve center into the heart fire; Therefore, the nature of thinking and learning belongs to fire); the pointed mountain is regarded as a writing style; it is called: Wenchang Mountain.
As for the invisible triangle, the most representative one is the derivation of the sixty-four hexagrams; Taiji gives rise to two rituals; the two rituals give rise to the four images; the four images give rise to the eight trigrams; the eight trigrams derive the sixty-four hexagrams; starting from the top (Tai Chi); derivation (Liang Yi); regeneration (Four Symbols); Xiang Pregnancy (Bagua)... Expands layer by layer to form a triangular tissue.
The application of Feng Shui is as big as the country, as medium as a place, as small as a building group, as micro as a home... No matter what the sect, everyone uses the triangle position to determine the yin and yang to collect the mountains and water (the Tai Chi uses the vertical position and the polar direction) The blue dragon and white tiger are arranged in the direction, and Xiao Tai Chi uses the pole point and the wealth position to urge the valley).
In the philosophy of human ethics: Ancestors reproduce and produce descendants, and descendants reproduce descendants again, continuing from generation to generation. Philosophy of life: People start with nothing; create expansion and establish a foundation with bare hands. On the other hand, in life, you work hard to climb up; and when you reach the top, the fire can burn from bottom to top, burning brilliantly.
Ziwei Dou Shu: 1. Life Palace, Career Palace, and Wealth Palace first form the most basic triangle of life. 2. The Palace of Fortune, the Palace of Migration, and the Palace of Wife form the relationship of the life process. 3. The parents’ palace, the friendship palace, and the children’s palace form a derivative relationship. 4. The Brothers Palace, Tianzhai Palace, and Disease Palace form the genetic relationship. In addition, the various palaces conflict and converge to form intricate relationship changes, and each relationship is connected to each other in a triangle.
It can be seen from this that a tangible triangle must be formed by the connection and combination of three sides. The meaning of the invisible triangle is: you can start from zero and create and multiply from top to bottom, or you can start from zero and work from bottom to top; first lay the foundation and work hard to climb to the top. In the process of upward and downward progress changes, the relationship between the top and the left and right is inseparable.
Another type of invisible triangular relationship is: a triangular camp between countries, different institutions having triangular interests to control and compete, and a triangular relationship between men and women... This kind of invisible triangle Relationships often involve extreme interests. Those who want peace can exist and stand as a tripartite, but there are just more overt and covert fights! Otherwise, if one of the three is eliminated, the two will confront each other; then the weak will eat the strong, and the result will be that the strong annexes the other and becomes one, and the weak will inevitably perish if it does not seek to retreat.
The Golden Mean of Life Philosophy
Although the triangle has derivative and progressive meanings in good aspects, it also contains the mystery that things must be reversed when they reach their extremes. Theoretically, if one side of a triangle is damaged, the entire shape will naturally disintegrate and the tangible body will cease to exist. Intangible combinations (triangles) may be integrated into one body, and there is also a chance that the remaining two sides will form a confrontation. Regardless of whether the triangle is visible or invisible, the most damaged or frustrated thing is of course the top of the triangle, which collapsed from its highest position. The visible body was severely damaged; the invisible combination ended miserably. There is still a chance for physical material destruction to be reorganized and rebuilt, but for intangible combinations that have worked hard to reach their peak and collapsed, they may not have a chance to turn around. There is a saying in the philosophy of life: a high position is dangerous (if you can climb higher, beware of falling more miserably), just like a building; if the foundation is not stable, a tall building will be in danger. If the foundation of life is not solid, the higher you get, the more dangerous it is. The essence of Confucianism's doctrine of the mean is based on this, and the saying: "but without losing anything" contains a deeper meaning to the doctrine of the mean.
When it comes to high position, power and danger, we cannot but demonstrate [fate control] and [physiognomy observation]. Fate and luck are closely related to the triangle, and it fits into life: the bottom of the triangle can be compared to the structure of a person's destiny, the two diagonal sides are like the destiny meridian, and the top corner is likened to the peak of life. If the structure of the natal life is excellent, it is in line with the requirements of a solid foundation. No matter how hard and setbacks are experienced (the ups and downs of human luck are said to be: three declines and six prosperity), life will eventually be able to climb to the top and will not fall down easily. If the natal structure is normal, that is, the foundation can still withstand a certain degree of pressure, and the fortune is supported, as long as the progress is not pushed too fast but not too high, then everything can end safely. However, if the natal structure is not good or even classified as inferior, then the foundation is definitely not solid. If you try your best to climb up regardless of the consequences, when you reach the limit of weakness, even if you can reach the peak, you will inevitably fall to the bottom of the valley; you will not be able to rise again.
The same applies to the face, which can be divided into an upright triangle and an inverted triangle (regardless of whether it is a Chinese character or a circle), and there are three divisions in between (the upper stop is from the forehead to the between the eyebrows; the middle stop refers to the nose and cheekbones) position; lower the stop tube opening to the entire chin range). The equilateral triangle shape means: the upper forehead is not wide or too narrow, but the middle bridge of the nose is high and the tip of the nose is fleshy, and the lower mouth is moderate or slightly larger; the chin and chin are round, and the fate is no more than the hard work of teenagers; middle-aged people are enterprising; In your later years, you will be able to enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren if you are healthy and peaceful. An inverted triangle means: the upper forehead is broad and plump; it is shiny and covered with pig liver; the middle bridge of the nose is high and the tip of the nose is fleshy; but the lower mouth is moderate or too small; or it looks like an overturned sampan, and the worst is the chin. If the child is sharp or concave, his fate is that even if he is a young man, he has the support of his father and ancestors; he has a great talent and has learned five things; he has gained both fame and wealth in his youth and middle age; but in his later years, he has exhausted his family fortune and left his wife and children; he may even end up old due to poverty and illness. .
