Reflections on the Reading of Zhouyi
I have only heard of Zhouyi before. Some people say that it is used for fortune telling, while others say that the invention of computers is due to Zhouyi's thoughts. Anyway, in my mind, Zhouyi is profound and mysterious. Recently, after listening to the wonderful explanation of Zhouyi, I was deeply touched and got a preliminary understanding of Zhouyi.
The Book of Changes is indeed the foundation of China traditional culture. Yi Dao is vast and all-encompassing, covering astronomy, geography, music, art of war, phonology and arithmetic, and even adding fuel to the fire outside the party, which is easy to help? . The philosophical thoughts in Zhouyi are particularly enlightening. Full loss, little gain? 、? Misfortune and blessing? 、? If it is too rigid, it will fold and it will be soft. After reading this philosophy, there are many feelings, especially among them? Misfortune and blessing? Dialectical thinking has inspired me a lot.
Thinking about the experience of a friend of mine, I think we should always think about this truth in our daily work and life, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and be full of hope in difficult times. I have a friend who lives in the county. His family conditions are very good. He has a villa, a car, a wife and a lovely son. His working conditions are good and his income is good. My friends are also very gregarious. I have many friends and often get together. My life is very interesting. But my friend also has weaknesses, that is, he often drinks with friends, often gets drunk, and likes to drive after drinking. I often warn, but the effect is not great.
At the end of last year, a friend had an accident while driving under the influence of alcohol, causing death and being detained in criminal detention. After that, he paid more than 0.2 million/200 thousand to avoid jail. After the accident, friends often blame themselves and stay at home. However, after many friends' persuasion, life is a long road, so you should cheer up when you encounter setbacks and not indulge in them. My friend has gradually come out of this gloomy day, but the impact of this incident may be unforgettable for life.
As reflected in the Book of Changes? Misfortune and blessing? I think that people should consider the difficulties they will face in the future when they are prosperous, otherwise, are you happy? It may be unbearable when you really encounter difficulties. My friend usually makes this kind of mistake. People live too well and smoothly to be prepared for danger in times of peace. As a result, such an accident happened, which was very traumatic to people. When friends are in trouble, they are also discouraged at first. Should he understand Zhouyi at this time? Misfortune and blessing? Our philosophy should have hope for the future and never be depressed. ? An old frontiersman loses his horse—a blessing in disguise. If my friend can remember the lesson in his later life, maybe he will have a better life.
The Book of Changes is indeed a sacred book, which is profound and difficult to understand, but if you understand the concept of being a man and doing things, you will benefit for life. Study hard, have a good understanding, find the truth of life from Zhouyi, and use the philosophical thinking of Zhouyi to guide life and work, and the road of life may be much smoother. I will know more about Zhouyi in the future, and I hope more people will know about Zhouyi.
Reflections on the Reading of Zhouyi
I heard of Zhouyi when I was very young, but it is much more mysterious than The Analects. I still remember the first time I saw this book from my grandfather. It was Chinese New Year, and my naughty cousin turned out a yellow book with no cover. As a result, my grandfather took the book and wouldn't let my cousin play. Grandpa said it was the Book of Changes, and then my uncle said it was a good book, because I was too young to remember it clearly. But the Book of Changes is a good book, and I have known it since I was a child.
I haven't read this book since I was a child. I'm a little confused: isn't this book very famous? Why didn't you see your classmates?
After I went to college, for professional reasons, I officially had the opportunity to read this book and knew that the Book of Changes was also called Zhouyi.
I didn't know until I saw it. This is a revealing book about the typical meanings of 450 hexagrams and the corresponding good or bad judgments, including the shapes of 64 hexagrams, the characters and words of the hexagrams. Simply put, it is similar to reading a book of feng shui fortune telling. No wonder my grandfather will watch it. My grandfather's hobby is to help people see Feng Shui in their buildings.
However, although it is a book about divination, I still read it with great interest, because I know that a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement; The famous saying that a gentleman carries things with virtue actually comes from Zhouyi. I don't think this book is so simple, it should be a book full of philosophy.
Zhouyi, as one of the four books and five classics, was specially used in ancient times to predict the future and make decisions on state affairs, and also told how to deal with the relationship between nature and people and between people. In my opinion, it inevitably contains some unscientific theories, but in terms of culture, I think it has its subtlety in telling people and nature how to succeed.
Just as celestial bodies maintain vitality through movement, a gentleman should constantly pursue self-improvement. If you don't use the hidden dragon, Yang is next. See Long Zaitian, Deshipu also. Do it all day, over and over again. Or jump into the abyss and have no regrets. Fei long is in the sky, and Niu San is also there. This is the first divination "Gan" from Zhouyi. The general meaning is: a gentleman should run like Tianyu, even if he is displaced, he will be indomitable; If you are a gentleman, the measurement of objects should be like the earth, and nothing can't be carried. It doesn't work in the incubation period, so we must strengthen our faith, stand by and wait, and don't act rashly; Before the time comes, if the dragon dives into the abyss, it should hide in front of it and stand by and move; Dragonflies pointing to the sky indicate that all people in the world will be blessed; A gentleman should strive for self-improvement and make unremitting efforts all day long. When you take the initiative to choose, when you shrink back, you shrink back. When you leap, you jump up and down, jump to the ninth five-year plan and retreat to the depths of the masses, so there will be no mistakes.
It contains profound philosophical meaning. Over the years, these words have supported and encouraged many people to work hard for success. These words teach us that if we want to do something, we must constantly strive for self-improvement and have a broad mind, then we must fully understand our own abilities, wait for the time to be ripe with firm belief, and finally bravely and resolutely move towards success; Be decisive. If you make a mistake, correct it immediately.
There are many philosophical truths in Zhouyi, for example, the cathode must be reversed, and the anode must say that everything must not be crossed and must be measured; Observing astronomy is to observe the changes of time; Looking at the humanities, turning it into the world tells us that we should not only pay attention to the weather and grasp the natural changes, but also pay attention to the harmony of people and deal with interpersonal relationships, which is an extremely important step towards success.
Zhouyi is a famous book with far-reaching influence in ancient China. Even today, it still has a far-reaching impact on China's economy, politics and culture. I can only understand a small part of Zhouyi, and there are many books with potential knowledge and philosophical principles. However, in this part, I benefited a lot. It taught me a lot about life or things. In your spare time, pick up Zhouyi and read it carefully. I believe you will gain something!
Notes on Zhouyi
Recently, in the field of the Book of Changes, it was found that Confucius' contribution to the Book of Changes was too great to be imagined. It can even be said that without the guidance and intervention of Confucius, we could not interpret this gobbledygook. No Confucius? Ten wings? As a wing, this book is difficult to pass down through historical time and space. Just say it briefly here? Ten wings? A collection of Confucius' thoughts.
Eleven Wings is ten articles about the Book of Changes by Confucius, including six biographies of Xiang, Xun and Ci from top to bottom, and four biographies of Classical Chinese, Shuo Gua Zhuan, Xu Gua Zhuan and Za Gua Zhuan. Is Biography of Classical Chinese a literary ornament? Fuck? 、? Kun? These two hexagrams have nothing to do with other hexagrams. The preface explains the reason of the arrangement order of the sixty-four hexagrams, which is worth studying and will be explained in another article. Eight original divination images were inferred from Shuogua Zhuan, and the so-called meaning of divination in scripture is Confucius' understanding of the eight divination images. The Biography of Miscellaneous Gua is about the principle of comprehensive Gua and wrong Gua. These three articles are all special topics, and only Coherent Biography is a very scattered discussion. Some people say that it is equivalent to the General Theory of the Book of Changes, which has some truth, but it is specious. I don't think it is a general theory, but a summary of Confucius' experience in interpreting the Book of Changes.
Wen Xin Zhuan is an essay of Confucius reading Yi.
The first and second chapters of Cohesion Biography consist of twelve chapters. Confucius's Yijing Justice and Zhu's Yijing Original Meaning are more reasonable, so we will follow them today. The last chapter and the first seven chapters belong to the general theory, which interprets the Book of Changes from different angles. As said at the beginning:? The heavens and the earth are humble, and the dry Kun will decide. Humble and high, with Chen, high and low. There are both movements, and rigidity and softness are broken. ? It is an understanding and interpretation of the overall spirit of the Book of Changes. The general idea is: the sky is high and respectful, and the ground is low and low. Determine the position of Gankun. Once the low and high positions appear in turn, things will occupy their respective positions. There is a certain law between the movement of the sky and the stillness of the earth, so the essence of masculinity and femininity is clearly defined. This is an explanation of the origin of the Book of Changes and an understanding of the relationship between nature and human activities. The first few words of the second chapter say: sages set up hexagrams to observe images, saying that they are auspicious, combining rigidity with softness, and changing endlessly. ? Sages set up gossip to observe the changes of everything in the world, and set up words on the map to explain good and bad luck, which changes with the mutual change of yin and yang. It is a further explanation of the emergence and application of gossip.
The second chapter of the next chapter of Cohesion Biography says:? In ancient times, the king of Xi family was the king of the world. He looked up at the sky, looked down at the earth, read articles about birds and animals, adapted to the earth, approached all the bodies, and took everything far away, so he began to gossip and communicate the virtues of the gods and the feelings of all things. ? This passage is to explain how gossip came into being, and it is the opening words of studying the Book of Changes. It has been repeatedly quoted by later generations and is familiar to many people. If you consider writing the Book of Changes or General Theory in an all-round way, it should be the beginning of a coherent biography and should not appear in the second chapter of the next chapter. So I once thought that Biography of Cohesion was an essay written by Confucius when he read Yi. It is for this reason that disciples dare not shift their positions and keep their original appearance when preaching.
From the Book of Changes? Ten wings? It was handed down from Confucius to his disciple Shangqu and passed down from generation to generation. The Analects of Confucius is different from The Analects of Confucius, because it was compiled by disciples collectively, so disciples have editing ideas. ? Ten wings? Confucius' words were handed down directly by his disciples, and he dared not change them casually. Therefore, I said that the Coherent Biography is not a general theory, but a random record of Confucius' reading of the Book of Changes.
New wine in old bottles? The carrier of Confucius' accommodation thought.
Confucius once said that he was? Do it or say it? In other words, I declare that I am inheriting ancient culture rather than creating it. In other words, my cultural work is well-founded and verified by ancient history. When he wrote Chunqiu, he actually revised it on the basis of Lu's original history books. So-called? If the pen is sharpened, it must be sharpened. For Yi, he wrote his feelings and opinions in an essay without modifying the original text. Generally speaking or in detail, I use divination to express my views on the universe, heaven and earth, and human social relations, and inject vivid and rich contents such as human life, ethics and morality into the original boring symbol system, so that we can see the figure of people.
Chapter 8 of The Scholars basically records Confucius' explanation of some individual remarks, such as? Fan, howl first and then laugh. ? Confucius said:? Gentleman's way, or out or place, or silent or language, two people are one, its profit breaks gold; The difference between one thought and another. ? Said that before? Fellow? Divine words? Howl first and then laugh? Confucius' interpretation of this sentence is that a gentleman can sometimes travel far, sometimes be prepared for danger in times of peace, sometimes remain silent, and sometimes talk about the wind and waves. Together, they are like a sword that can cut iron like mud. They have the same will and ideal, and their words are as fragrant as bluegrass. Emphasize the importance of cooperation. We often use it? The two are integrated, and the benefits are broken; The difference between thoughts stinks like the sky? I didn't pay much attention to this idiom. It was said by Confucius.
Be modest, a gentleman has an end, Ji. ? Confucius said:? Work without cutting, work without virtue, thick without thickness, and language with merit. Those who are polite, polite and modest also respect their position. ? What's the previous sentence? Modesty? 93 remarks. This essay should have existed before Confucius, followed by Confucius' explanation of this essay. Its main purpose is: try not to boast, make meritorious deeds without taking credit, and don't think about good deeds. This is an extremely kind performance, and it is a way to transfer one's credit to subordinates. Morality should be noble, courtesy should be humble. The significance of modesty lies in preserving one's virtues and contributions with respect. Confucius' explanation enriches the content of the original essay, makes it more humane and increases our reading pleasure.
At the end of the full text of Cohesion Biography, there are a few words: those who betray will be ashamed of their words, and those who doubt in the center will be ashamed of their words. Lucky people talk less, impetuous people talk more. Those who falsely accuse good people will swim in words, and those who lose their arguments will be wronged. ? Translated as:? Some are ready to defect, some are ashamed, and some are in doubt. His words are bitter and talkative, and the gentleman is concise, and there are many people who are anxious and radical. The words of slandering good people are rambling, and the words of disloyal traitors are turning around. It is the key to attach importance to and inherit the Book of Changes to integrate the profound life experience and rich human feelings into the interpretation of the hexagrams and words in the Book of Changes.
