Liu Yao Yi Gua-六爻易卦 - INTRODUCTION -

[Tientai ✝️]

From Blindman Liu Yao-盲派六爻 Sect

阴极生阳，阳极生阴，阴阳互为转化，天地有乾坤，乾坤生万物，谓天地间万物均有阴阳属性，于上者为阳,于下者为阴,万物反复,自阳而阴为万物，循环始终。

Extreme yin born Yang, extreme Yang born Yin, yin and yang mutual transformed, Heaven and Earth have their Qian and K’un Gua’s (Trigrams), from Heaven and Earth Gua’s ten thousand things are born, in between Heaven and Earth Ten Thousand Things have the attributes of yin and yang, going upward (this is taken as) Yang (movement), going downward (this is taken as) Yin (movement), all living things repeatedly go and return [ .. implication as birth and death or incarnation ??] , since the yang and Yin act to all living things, the cycle is always and all along.

预测学依阴阳转化，从中找出转化的诱因，得出事物发生发展的规律，依事起象,以阴测阳,以气造形,自虚实,或顺或逆，进行推演，高明的预测者善于抓住其中的病源，就病取药，自然药到病除，得到正确的结论。

 The prediction is based on the transformation of Yin and yang, to find out the cause of transformation, To draw the law of the development of things, in accordance with the image (form), to use Yin to measure Yang, to use Qi (energy) to build form (shape), from the actual situation, either following or (be)in contrary, advancing or retreating,(just as) an adept brilliant predictor who captured among others the cause of disease, if you suffered from a disease ( proposed to you) just to take such medicine,(and) naturally taking this medicine the disease has gone, then one obtains the correct conclusion.

一元之初，是为太极，太极而分两仪，两仪生四象，四象而生八卦，八卦而生万物。我们知道，预测之所以能成卦，是因为，不动不立，动则必立，心有所动，为太极始立，开始转动，也就是六爻卦的出现，为一。

At the beginning there is the One (Yi) Yuan (Source), from it became the Tai Chi (Supreme Ultimate), from Tai Chi divided into Heaven (Yang) and Earth (Yin)  (Liang Yi), from these two the four divisions (Si Xiang) are born, from these four divisions the eight Trigrams (Gua’s) come about,and from them the Ten Thousand Things are born. We must be aware of these, that the prediction can become a Gua, because, (if we) don't move, move (looks like) standstill, the heart (Xin) to some extend (has/gives !) the movement, because of this Tai Chi get started, and began to rotate, that is, what in six Yao Gua divination is appearing (and happening), That's all..

随着时空、时间、地点运动变化，而打破阴阳平衡，成为信息网络的交叉点，我们由此切入进入思维的太极点，为一生二，也就是在这个代表太极的卦团里，包括着的上下两个卦，是为两仪；而每个单卦有三个爻，上下组成六个爻，这六个爻，分出前后左右，就是四象，四象即出，则以八卦去类化万物，提取预测的信息，为生万物，这是顺卦的过程。

(Then) Following to feel (in conduct with) transformative changes (that happen) in the Empty space, Time and Place (by) breaking the equilibrium of yin and yang and finishing at intersection point on a network of Informations (messages). We hereby penetrating deeply by joint thinking on the Tai Chi (Root) Point, The One that giving birth of Two, that is, in this representative innermost Regiment of Taiji, that includes the prospected (in action) of two (divinatory Trigrams) upper and lower Guas, is as (represent) Heaven (Yang) and Earth (Yin) , and each single Gua has three of Yaos (Lines)(Liang Yi), the two upper and lower Guas make six Yaos ,(by) the six Yaos, (one is) distinguishing the occurrence of former (from the) later the wrong (from the) right, The Four Divisions (Si Xiang)(of the twenty-eight constellations 二十八宿 of the sky into groups of seven mansions, namely: Azure Dragon 青龍｜青龙, White Tiger 白虎, Vermilion Bird 朱雀, Black Tortoise 玄武), when emerging, then the eight Guas (Trigrams)come about.These are going to categorize (or resemble) the changes of all living things, (From) the forecasting (Divinaion) extracts of Informations (messages), all the living things are growing, this is the process to obey (to follow) the divination (Gua) in the course of events as a procedure.

从相反的角度观察推演，世间万事万物，全息概括于八卦，分成八大类别，这八大类，又入于五行之中，每种五行均有两种属性，即阳和阴，所以，归类后，又成为阴阳两仪的属性，阴阳是一个统一体，只有阴阳平衡，才百病不犯，是完整的，就如一个人，一但阴阳失衡，必有病灾，必有事发生，而平衡后，则合而归于心，是为太极，人与天地自然合一，产生共振的磁场效应，在这种作用中，就引入了一个概念，就是六爻的思维概念，拿到一个卦时，用什么方法入卦，从那里开始断卦，是我们要解决的首要问题。

From this single (and whole) view, just when Yin and Yang are in equilibrium the One Hundred diseases not invade and this is completely real as ONE and Whole (Completeness), but when Yin and Yang are in imbalance certainly there is illness disaster, and necessarily something is born by happening and came back the equilibrium again by bringing back the Mind (Xin) to the first conjunction with Tai Ji (the Absolute or Supreme Ultimate, the source of all things),(then) the Man (Ren)with Heaven and Earth (Tian Di) naturally united,(just as by) producing a total external Vibration of Magnetic Event (to the world), (and) centrally located within this kind of action one approaches to study by understanding this individual concept in whole, is just the same as one trying to understand the concepts in six Yao’s - lines, by catching the whole individual in a season,using a kind of method to go into the Gua ( fathoming ), in this internal point one start to break (judge )the Gua (Hexagram),this is just as our demand to resolve the most important problem in question.
一个卦，就是一个太极。不要把它看成是一个简单的平面，它是一个可园可方的太极，它是一栋楼房，里面分成多个房间，每个房间里住着了不同的人，装了不同的东西。

Each individual Gua, is just like one individual Tai chi, Do not handle it so simple (and easy),(to see how profound and full of complexities.. And difficult to catch on the start ) is just (comparing) it (Gua) with a Garden that is a part of public recreation park (with Buildings) - Tai chi, is just (searching of) a house in a building,this building has interior flours to divide many houses,each house has walls to divide many rooms to host many different people,and each room is decorated by different ways (likes) from people living in.(..difficulty to know on the start what decoration is fitful to a person living in a room...neglecting the above procedure )

六爻即出，它们相互连结，并不是孤立的，而是互相作用，构成整个楼房的主要框架，当我们审一个卦时，不要急着去看卦里有什么，房子里有什么，而是先从大的，根本的方面入手，去研究卦的结构。

When Six Yaos are occurring, they are interconnected, not isolated, but interact with each other, constituting the Primary frame of the whole building, and when we examine each Gua, do not rush to see what is inside the Gua, or what is inside the house, but rather start with the big (Picture), fundamentally you must respect the begining, if you going study the structural composition of a GUA.


买一住宅，这好比是用神，此时看的，不能只看这个用神怎么样，不能只看它的房间装修得漂亮不漂亮，先要看楼的外观结构是不是合理，新旧的程度怎么样，整体还能经受多少年的风雨，有了初步的了解，才能进一步看它里面的结构。

[Useful God - Yong Shen can be compared with the action just of] Buying a dwelling, at this time we must take care, not to watch only how Useful God is (on the start), not only see if its room decoration is beautiful or not beautiful, First to look at the structural parts of the building is not reasonable, What is the extent of the new and old, how many years of wind and rain can endure, with this preliminary understanding, we are capable to make a further step forward taking care to look at interior of the structure.

事如此，看卦也如此，当我们拿到一个卦时，不要急于去看它的六爻和六亲，不是去找它的用神，而是先从审整个卦开始，对卦有一个初步的，整体性的思维和了解。

It works on this way,in taking care of Gua, when we get Guas particles, do not rush (anxious,impatient) to see its six Yaos and (much more) the six Yaos specified particles (Liu Qin), not try to find (from them) it's Useful God, but firstly  examine the whole Gua at the Start, the whole GUA has a preliminary reply, as a whole disposition for our thinking and understanding.

如：“天地否”卦，它出自乾宫，整个卦具有金的属性，如果生于春，为不得气。

such as if: "Heaven and earth negate" Gua, it comes out (happen) from the QIAN Palace, the entire GUA has the property of Precious Gold - Metal, if it is born in spring, behaving as not (feel suit) in Qi (Anger, Anxious).

这是一栋旧楼，那么，它给我们初步的印象就是，组成整个楼的每一个房间，都在这个旧楼大的背景下和前提下。

 It is just like, old buildings with houses (on the flours), give us a preliminary impression that every room that makes up the whole building is under the context scenery and premise of this old building.

而组成六爻的上下两卦，则是一栋楼的两个单元。六爻就是各个住户了。

And the form also of six Yao of lower and upper (composition) of both Guas (trigrams),are imitation of One building with composition of some individual residential houses. In the same way six Yao separates every individual householder clearly.


由此，我们知道了，当一个卦摆在你面前时，首先看的，不是单个的爻，而是整个卦是不是得气，得气为环境好，有利于其中各卦爻的发展与生存，就如一个国家，整个国家战火纷飞，那么这里的居民也不会好到哪里，当然，卦中的某个爻，可能得到日月的生助，很旺，不受它的限制，这好比是一个军火商，战火越猛，他越发财一样。

Hereby we understood when a particle in a Gua move to and fro in front of you (in the surface),first of all, don’t take care of it , rather take care of whole Gua whether or not obtaining the Qi (vital energy), [the meaning of obtaining the Qi ] is to obtain good influence from environment (or circumstances), so getting an advantage from each Gua in a Yao for growth and existence,
This seems like a country, the whole country is in flames of a war, then the residents here will not feelin better, of course, if a Gua is the target then the hitting of a Yao particle is certain, May get the help of the sun (daily EB) and the moon (monthly EB), awfully prosperous, not accept its restrictions, this is like a particle individual in the army of Shang (16th to 11th Century Dynasty), the more fierce war, the more he becomes rich of money.
