What is there to tell us to do so?As for the usage of "Forest of Changes",we can translate the Fuxi's trigrams to King Wen's.
乾之: | 乾:道陟石阪,胡言連蹇。譯瘖且聾,莫使道通。請謁不行,求事無功。 |
Is it the representation of 乾? So, you need to throw all the book about original Iqing. "道陟石阪" should be translated as "climbing on steep slopes"and"請謁不行" should be translated as "cannot to meet somebody" simply
乾之: 乾:道陟石阪,胡言連蹇。譯瘖且聾,莫使道通。請謁不行,求事無功。
This is very interesting.Do you know how hexagrams mapped to the Chinese Ganzhis(干支)? As you see above. The period it emerged in is Ziue/Dang(隋、唐) dynasty roughly.
I saw in Ni Hua Ching's The Book of Changes and the Unchanging Truth there were some diagrams of the GanZhi's, one of which matched this pattern more or less:According to the formula above, it can be reduced to:
甲子䷁䷗ 丙子䷚ 戊子䷂ 庚子䷩ 壬子䷲ 乙丑䷔ 丁丑䷐ 己丑䷘ 辛丑䷣ 癸丑䷕ 甲寅䷾ 丙寅䷤ 戊寅䷶ 庚寅䷝䷰ 壬寅䷌ 乙卯䷒ 丁卯䷨...辛巳䷍ 癸巳䷪ 甲午䷀䷫ 丙午䷛ 戊午䷱ 庚午䷟ 壬午䷸ 乙未䷯ 丁未䷑ 己未䷭ 辛未䷅ 癸未䷮...
it just likes your Xiantian diagram. No need any diagram of Shao Yong(邵雍).
離之離:時乘六龍,為帝使東。達命宣旨,無所不通。
So, Your 離 represent "driving six dragons"? "時乘六龍" is a original text for 乾 in Iqing.
I think it is just a brilliant idea for preventing someone to read it. So, after two thousand years, 乾 in Forest of Changes still represent "rock slopes" but have not any other views.What I sense here is the concept of the xian tian energies coming through into hou tian.
I think that any books of changes is cannot translated from chinese. I have a divination that:I'm still exploring, will post more as I find greater clarity.
And yet hexagrams are their own language, and a language of interconnected principles.I think that any books of changes is cannot translated from chinese.
I have read that some ideas became threatening to the state, so were destroyed or manipulated or replaced. This would indeed be a brilliant way of hiding a poignant secret. Perhaps if the Fu Xi diagram did exist prior to Shao Yong then it was kept alive in this way. Clearly there is something beneath the surface here.I think it is just a brilliant idea for preventing someone to read it.
So, after two thousand years, 乾 in Forest of Changes still represent "rock slopes" but have not any other views.
And yet it is 52 unchanging in Forest that speaks about the stillness represented by the mountain hexagram.
