Divination

Divination

Divination is one of the ancient witchcraft, which is a kind of expression of ancient folk divination. It refers to the use of tortoise shell, divination grass and other tools to predict certain events. The methods used in different times are different, and there are innovations in the past dynasties. For example, it is said that Dongfang Shuo's lingqijing uses special pieces and special formulas to predict. It is to use the shape of some inanimate natural objects to predict good or bad luck.

definition

In the book of rites, Qu Li Shang said, "turtle is divination, and strategy is divination.". In ancient times, tortoise shell was used for divination and yarrow was used for divination.

The ancient folk believed that through the divine divination process, those natural objects also obtained the sacred symbolic meaning. The shape they presented was not the result of man-made, but the gift of God and God, and was the inspiration or warning of God.

method

Burning turtle to watch omen

Burn the tortoise shell and observe the signs to determine good or bad luck. Omen: in ancient divination, the tortoise shells or animal bones were drilled and engraved, and then burned to see whether the cracks were good or bad. The crack that indicates good or bad luck is called "omen".

Decision number

Holding yarrow to determine its number to determine good or bad. To: hold. Strategy: yarrow for divination.

People should follow the inspiration or admonition of gods to seek good fortune and avoid bad fortune, so as to benefit the people far away from disaster. They think that gods are omnipotent, they know everything. As long as we are devout, we will be able to get its help. Therefore, along with the purpose and requirement of diviners, divination also has a number of functions.

There are more than 20 kinds of divination recorded in Shiji Guice Zhuan, including divination of wealth, divination of residence, divination of age, divination of heaven, divination of migration, etc. But in fact, divination is used everywhere, and people can get inspiration from divination for any purpose, requirement or wish.

In ancient times, divination was in the charge of divination officials, which were mostly used to predict military and state affairs. The common divination methods were divination of the world, the year, the suburb, the food and the year. Divination is to use yarrow or tortoise shell to predict the number of generations passed on; divination year is to predict the number of years that the king and the marquis will enjoy the country; divination suburb is to predict the auspicious day of the suburb sacrifice; divination food is to choose the location of the capital; divination year is to predict the coming year.

Historical records

According to the records of Hongfan in Shangshu, Jizi told the king of Wu, "heaven is the nine domains of Xiyu Hongfan", and the nine domains "seven days of Ming Dynasty use Jiyi." The method of checking doubts is, "you have great doubts. Your mind is to plan, your nobles, your common people and your divination.". You follow, turtle follow, divination follow, Qing Shi follow, common people follow, which is called Datong. The body is strong and healthy, and the children and grandchildren are lucky. You follow, turtle follow, divination follow, Qing Shi rebel, common people rebel, lucky. Qing Shicong, GUI Cong, divination Cong, you then inverse, common people inverse, auspicious. The common people follow, the tortoise follow, the divination follow, the Ru follow, the Qing follow, the good fortune follow. You follow, turtle follows, divination goes against, Qing Shi goes against, common people goes against, make inside lucky, make outside fierce That is to say, there are five opinions involved in decision-making, among which divination and divination are two. There are three principles in ancient divination of military and state affairs

One is divination before divination. In ancient China, people believed that there was an elephant first and then a number of things. Turtle was the elephant and divination was the number. When divining, we should first use yarrow to divine. If we get lucky numbers, we don't need to divine any more. If we are not lucky, we should divine their images again.

Second, divination is no more than three. Ancient Chinese people's divination is to seek good luck, but sometimes not one divination can get auspicious omen. If one divination is not auspicious, it can be divined again or three times. If it is not auspicious, it can't be divined again or three times. If it's not auspicious, it can't be divined for the fourth time. The ancient Chinese people believed that. Even if it doesn't work for the fourth time. Therefore, in general, if divination three times is not auspicious, the work to be carried out will be suspended and divination will be carried out on an auspicious day. This is called divination. Later generations often say that there are no more than three things, which should come from the sound of "divination is no more than three".

Third, divination does not follow each other. Divination is divination first and then divination. If divination is not auspicious, it can be divined again. If divination is not auspicious, it can not be divined again. In ancient China, divination was regarded as image and Divination as number. Things have images before they have numbers, and the number of images cannot be inverted. Therefore, even if the divination is not auspicious, it can be divined again, but not divination.

The above three principles can be said to be abided by in ancient times. As for the divination, the divination officer bathes and changes clothes, burns incense and prays. Later, divination became popular among the Chinese people, and military affairs were often predicted with the help of hexagrams or astrology in the book of changes. Divination came to the Chinese folk from the glorious common hall of the rulers, so the divination technique has been developed rapidly and widely used in people's daily life. Many superstitious people always subconsciously want to ask the magician for divination when they have problems or other things.

Zhouyi

Divination is an activity to predict the future through certain means, and it is a kind of cognitive means.

It is very important to predict the future. If there is no prediction of the future, human life will always be immersed in the boundless darkness. No matter how harshly people criticize divination, it is only the negation of divination, a means of prediction, rather than the negation of prediction.

The book of changes is actually designed for divination. No one can deny the fact that it is a Book of divination. From a certain point of view, divination can use a set of system to explain all kinds of problems that people can encounter, which itself is quite philosophical. To be specific, divination does not rely solely on nonsense as many people have misunderstood, but has a strict operating procedure, in which quite a number of indicators are very objective and can not be arbitrarily distorted. Divination has considerable accuracy, which can not be achieved by subjective guess. In other words, the divination system must have a very wide range of applicability to meet the needs of complex prediction; then it can be inferred that the divination system actually captures the commonness between enough things: commonness reflects the essential connection. If this inference can be established, the book of changes (about the use of the book of changes "manual") is regarded as the summary of the philosophy of the book of changes, and it is not pure misunderstanding. We may as well treat it like this: from the perspective of the book of changes, the book of changes is set for divination, and the book of changes is the instruction manual; from the perspective of the book of changes, the book of changes is the carrier of the philosophy of the book of changes, and divination is the specific application of the philosophy of the book of changes.

No mud, no God

The Yin and Yang of the Yi hexagram are flexible, and the five elements are infinite;

(those who are born with me can vent my anger. For example, when a son is born with wealth, wealth will vent his offspring's anger; when wealth is born with an official, the official will vent his wife's anger; when an official is born with a father, the father will vent his official's and ghost's anger.)

The secret of quiet

When the hexagram is quiet, it depends on the usage and the sun,

It is the most cautious thing to use and attack punishment.

In the world, we should study carefully and avoid God,

When the world comes to Yuanchen, things will surely prosper.
