Bazi / Re: Ten heavenly stems Chinese Characters
« on: November 05, 2024, 01:00:09 AM »
Hi Ren, as you suggested, I have made some changes and notes to the translation so that it is more understandable.
This excerpt is from the article The origin, arrangement and belief of the zodiac signs, that collects some hypotexts on the origin and arrangement of animals in terrestrial branches, this passage concerns the relationship between earthly branches and animals from the perspective of the twelve ancient hours of day and night. Zhu Xi, a famous Neo-Confucian scholar of the Song Dynasty, supported this view.
Note: many of the explanations have nothing to do with the meanings of the original pictograms.
“... The zodiac originated from the atmosphere of the ancient cult of animals and the cult of totems.
Ancient Chinese scholars explained the relationship between earthly branches and animals from the perspective of the ancient twelve hours of day and night:
The sky is black and the earth is in chaos. The mouse comes out in the middle of the night and bites into the chaos between heaven and earth. "The mouse bites the sky and opens it", so 子 Zi meaning child (beginning) takes the name of mouse in the earth's branches.
After the sky has opened, the next step is to create the earth and "the earth was created out of ugliness. The oxen that plow the fields are supposed to be the things that created ( given foundation 创) the earth, so CHOU 丑 which took on the meaning of "ugly" (probably because the inscriptions on the oracle bones resemble claws) takes the name of Ox in the terrestrial branches.
The time of Yin is the moment when a person is born. Life leads to death. Nothing can kill people more than a ferocious tiger. Yin also has the meaning of reverence, so 寅 Yin takes the name of tiger in the terrestrial branches.
The Mao hour is the symbol of dawn. The sun should be Li Gua, (east)
Li Gua (east) is like fire and the Yin Yao (Yao maybe brilliant, hence the bright yin) in it is the essence of the sun or moon. (the rabbit was considered a good omen) In this way, 卯 Mao takes on the name of rabbit.
Chen, the hexagram of March, is the season when dragons make rain. Chen is naturally a dragon.
Already the hexagram of April means that at this time the spring grass is lush, which is a good time for snakes, like fish in water. Also, it is morning, and at this time the snake is returning to its cave. So 巳 Si is snake.
At noon, in the afternoon, Yang Qi reaches its extreme and Yin Qi emerges. Horses are animals that gallop and run with their hooves in the air, but occasionally touch the ground. Flying in the air is yang, walking on the ground is yin, and the horse jumps between yin and yang; thus, it becomes the zodiac sign of noon, WU午 means noon and takes the name of Horse in the terrestrial branches.
For sheep, the best time to eat grass is in the afternoon, because it is easy to gain weight. This is the wrong time, so it's not a sheep.
Note: this last sentence makes little sense, I don't know if the problem is in the translation from Chinese that google proposes, however the meaning of Wei (whose character contains the wooden radical and in full: the character "Wei" in the inscriptions on the bones of the oracle resembles the shape of a tree with overlapping branches and leaves. It is said to be an ancient tree with a crown and branches curved upwards, and the leaves have a salty taste.) It includes "not, not yet, unfinished" and can also mean to taste, then eat. Be that as it may, Wei takes the name of sheep in our twelve earth branches.
Shenshi 15:00 to 17:00 is the time when the sun approaches the Western Mountain and the monkeys sing, and the monkeys like to stretch their arms and jump at this time; therefore, the monkey is paired with Shen 申.
You is when the moon appears. The moon belongs to water and corresponds to Kan Gua. The Kan hexagram has yin lines above and below, and the yang line in the center represents the essence of the sun and the golden raven. (The moon in mid-autumn sways and points towards the unified sky.) So, the Unit belongs to the rooster. You 酉 takes the name Rooster
When night falls, it's Xu's time. (Xu Shi, twilight, At this time the sun has set and it will be dark. The sky and the earth are dimand everything is foggy, so it is called twilight, it goes from 7 to 9 in the evening and belongs to the Xu hour.) Dogs are the pets that keep watch at night, so Xu 戌is the Dog in the twelve branches of the earth.
Then comes Haishi, the hour of Hai, and heaven and earth are plunged into a state of chaos, just like a fruit wrapped in a core. Everything in the world is covered at night during Haishi hour. Pigs are chaotic creatures that only know how to eat, so pigs have become the zodiac sign of Hai亥 This comment also makes little sense...

TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) / Re: Acupresure and TCM Research for Respiratory Viral Issues
« on: November 02, 2024, 03:14:54 PM »
Hi Ren, the problem of recurring flu is increasingly serious here in Italy too.
As you well know, TCM is also a preventive medicine, in this sense already from the month of August, August 8th the autumn period begins, metal, you should take astragalus which supports the immunity of the respiratory tract, its target organ is the lungs. Together with astragalus, you should make herbal teas of chrysanthemum flowers, which tend to eliminate the heat that, penetrating the body, in the transition from summer to autumn, create latency conditions of an inflammatory nature. You will also need some light applications of moxa (cigar) on points 36st, Gv 14, tr 17-16-15, Li 11 and 4.
If you are at the beginning of the flu take "Jade Screen Form-Yu Ping Feng Pian" tu stop the flu.
During the days of flu you must try to get rid of phlegm, you need inhalations but also intestinal probiotics + N-acetyl cysteine, as already recommended in one of your links, you also need to keep your throat disinfected with scrubs that can contain water, salt and lemon. In the case of fever there are acupuncture points to bring it down but in my opinion it is better to let the fever run its course, unless it is very high.

Dear Fan of Spirits, frankly I hate any polemical tone, I answer only for the sake of clarity but also because I am truly amazed by what you tell me.
I find you a bit confused and I hope to clarify your ideas.
1) Doing a humble research on the etymological aspects of the word, here the Bazi sinograms, does not necessarily mean being an expert in reading the graphs. I am just still a student and as such I like to research.
2) In the research I posted there are,among others, references to the Shouwen Dictionary, from the Erya dictionary this one from 300 BC are they modern? I have nothing to defend, nothing that is uncomfortable or convenient for me
I don't know, you must have confused me with someone else...
3) On Traditional Chinese Medicine I find you very very confused. After 4 years of studying at the TCM academy here in my country, having trained in a hospital in Beijing, after 25 years of practice, what can I say to someone who says that TCM does not exist?
No, don't worry, you didn't offend me, just disturbed me like when something wants to sting you.
I'll keep your suggestions in mind, for which I thank you. Goodbye

Hi Ren, I'm really happy to see you again, it's been a few years since I came to the forum.
I always have to translate my Italian into English with the translator and maybe the translations are not always good.
But as for Zi and Chou, the first one means also child and the second one also ugly
"ZI 子 A newborn with legs tied. Seed-child-child-egg..."
" CHOU 丑 ....Ugly- scandalous"
Anyway, please report any inconsistencies or translation errors to me.
Fan of the spirits, of course I read the whole article in the link, the passage I posted is reported in the article among the hypotheses regarding the origins of the twelve branches with their animal names, and in that passage there are possible explanations as to why, for example, WU noon was inserted with the name of a horse.
And now I would like to tell you this thing, I perceive you from your first answers onwards, a little aggressive in the way you communicate with me, why? It seems to me that your speech starts from a position that could be called "narcissistic". Do you have the dog somewhere in your earthly branches...? But if you are a Taoist remember what the master Zhuāngzǐ said, the speech of the sage is similar to the murmur of a stream. Affectionately Zimon

We find an explanation here:
... zodiac originated from the atmosphere of ancient animal worship and totem worship. Ancient Chinese scholars explained the relationship between earthly branches and animals from the perspective of the ancient twelve hours of day and night. The sky is black and the earth is in chaos. The rat comes out in the middle of the night and bites the chaos between heaven and earth. "The rat bites the sky and opens it," so the child is a rat. After the sky is opened, the next step is to create the earth, and "the earth was created by ugliness. The oxen plowing the fields should be the things that created the earth, so ugliness belongs to the ox." Yin time is the time when a person is born. Life must lead to death. Nothing can kill people more than a ferocious tiger. Yin also has the meaning of reverence, so Yin belongs to the tiger. Mao hour is the symbol of dawn. The sun should be Li Gua, Li Gua is like fire, and the Yin Yao in it is the essence of the sun or moon. In this way, Mao is a rabbit. Chen, the hexagram of March, is the season when dragons make rain. Chen is naturally a dragon. Already the hexagram of April means that at this time the spring grass is lush, which is a good day for snakes, like fish in water. In addition, it is already morning, and at this time the snake is returning to its cave, so it belongs to the snake. At noon, in the afternoon, the Yang Qi reaches its extreme and the Yin Qi emerges. Horses are animals that gallop and run with their hooves in the air, but occasionally touch the ground. Flying in the air is yang, walking on the ground is yin, and the horse jumps between yin and yang, so it becomes the zodiac sign of noon. For sheep, the best time to eat grass is in the afternoon, because it is easy to get fat. This is the wrong time, so it is not a sheep. Shenshi is the time when the sun approaches the West Mountain and the monkeys sing, and monkeys like to stretch out their arms and jump at this time, so monkeys are matched with Shen. You are when the moon appears. The moon belongs to water and corresponds to Kan Gua. The Kan hexagram has yin lines above and below, and the yang line in the middle represents the essence of the sun and the golden crow. Therefore, Unity belongs to the chicken. When night falls, it is the time of Xu. Dogs are the pets that keep watch at night, so they become xugou. Then comes Haishi, and the sky and earth are immersed in a state of chaos, just like a fruit wrapped in a core. Everything in the world is covered at night during Haishi. Pigs are chaotic creatures that only know how to eat, so pigs became the zodiac sign of Hai. Zhu Xi, a famous Neo-Confucian scholar in the Song Dynasty, held this view.

(1) (pictographic. Original meaning: horse rope)
(2) Same as original meaning [rope that used to manage horse]
[The oracle bone script for "午" ] is probably in the shape of a rope, probably a bridle for taming a horse. ——Guo Moruo, "A Study of Oracle Bone Scripts" https://zd.hwxnet.com/search.do?keyword=%E5%8D%88&sub_btn.x=39&sub_btn.y=15

But in fact WU does not mean horse...did you read?
WU午The word "wu" in inscriptions on oracle bones is probably in the shape of a rope, probably the bridle of a horse. Basic meaning: noon. When the vertical
and the horizontal intersect, midday heat. "One vertical and one horizontal mean noon." In May, Yin Qi meets Yang at noon. Emerging from the ground. At noon, yin and yang meet. Therefore, it is called noon. Fifth lunar calendar month.
It means noon
Also ZI does not means mouse, mouse is老鼠

Thank you Spirit Fan, I will reflect on your indications. However, the Shuowen Jiezi formed by 540 radicals is the basis of the classification of over 9000 characters, completed around 100 AD, in the Han era. The Shuowen radicals can be considered the ancestors of the 214 Kangxi radicals, this one written in the eighteenth century. The other dictionaries I have referred to show the semantic evolution. TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine exists, I practice it
Thank you very much smsek for your contribution. (That Jia, in addition to generating and sprouting, protects its initial growth is moving)
I would also like to show you the etymologies and meanings found for the names of the twelve terrestrial branches, in this case there are some really bizarre ones. What do you think?
Then there is a question; Each character in its phonetics, pronunciation, has several homophones, in some cases more than eighty. We know that knowledge has often been transmitted orally, this may lead us to think that even research on homophones could lead to interesting discoveries.
I give the example of the Li Dui acupuncture point, the last one on the meridian of the Stomach, n.45.
Its name means "rigorous exchange" but it has as homophones the attributes of Calendar and Team, which offer us notions of Space and Time. The Square that is depicted by the ancient engravers in the left hand of Fou Hi, the first ruler and shaman, evokes the Royal Work in its entirety, since it produces the square that produces the earth and the sky, the square and the circle.
Anyway here are the etymologies of the twelve terrestrial branches, unfortunately I can't put the images within the paragraphs, I'll try to send them later in another post. I haven't listed the dictionary sources here, but they are the same ones used for the stems.

Thank you very much smsek for your contribution. (That Jia, in addition to generating and sprouting, protects its initial growth is moving)
I would also like to show you the etymologies and meanings found for the names of the twelve terrestrial branches, in this case there are some really bizarre ones. What do you think?
Then there is a question; Each character in its phonetics, pronunciation, has several homophones, in some cases more than eighty. We know that knowledge has often been transmitted orally, this may lead us to think that even research on homophones could lead to interesting discoveries.
I give the example of the Li Dui acupuncture point, the last one on the meridian of the Stomach, n.45.
Its name means "rigorous exchange" but it has as homophones the attributes of Calendar and Team, which offer us notions of Space and Time. The Square that is depicted by the ancient engravers in the left hand of Fou Hi, the first ruler and shaman, evokes the Royal Work in its entirety, since it produces the square that produces the earth and the sky, the square and the circle.

Hello Fan of the spirits, I am not Chinese and not even a sinologist, but I like to investigate words, their etymology, the etymology is the seed of the word or in this case of the ideogram. Why did the ancients give those meanings to material and immaterial things? Mine is just a research in this sense. I was surprised for example that Jia has the meaning of armor, in traditional Chinese medicine, the wood element corresponds to the functions of the liver which is called the Army General. It is its energy. Isn't it beautiful? I also did the translations of the names of the twelve terrestrial branches....
