- What is Bagua?
A few young girls together, nine out of ten in the chat gossip. Which clothes are cheap, or which stars have concerts, or who and who are married, cheating on it and so on. Anyway, the word “gossip” has a wide meaning, generally refers to all aspects of people’s lives, and sometimes refers specifically to the private lives of celebrities.
Of course, this gossip is not the other gossip. I am trying to talk about the I Ching.
《易经》:“易有太极,是生两仪,两仪生四象,四象生八卦”。
《系辞》:“古者庖牺氏之王天下也,仰则观象于天,俯则观法于地,观鸟兽之文与地之宜,近取诸身,远取诸物,于是始作八卦,以通神明之德,以类万物之情。”
In simple terms, Bagua is a summary of natural changes. In ancient times, heaven and earth, weather, birds, insects and fish, there are certain rules of change, in order to better survival, of course, to summarize to pass on to future generations. Therefore, Bagua is the ancient science.
The above chart can clearly see the summary of the Bagua on the weather
If it stops there, Bagua is not difficult to understand. Only, people’s understanding of the Bagua is expanded: the natural way of change is reflected in human society. Man depends on nature, of course, to conform to the natural way, so, Bagua is also a sociology.
In order to master nature, Bagua is become to the direction of human nature. To the further, the more complex the Bagua becomes. Complexity slowly accumulate, “I Ching” is also difficult to understand. So far, not many people understand the I Ching, only to talk about “gossip” everywhere.
