Chapter 109: Freedom of the Powerful, I Ching
Mao Zhedong glanced at the meaning of "freedom" quoted by the King of Carefree as quoted by the world, and said with a smile: "Freedom!
My freedom is my freedom, your freedom can only exist in the spiritual realm, it is ethereal, I am the real freedom! However, I do not have the freedom of the free road, what I have is the freedom of supreme power, my freedom of challenge, the freedom of practice.
Yours is all internal cultivation, and what you release is just freedom on the trail. Watch me practice the martial arts of power and freedom for your reference!"
Mao Zhedong got up, one step clear, one step proud. Throw your hand behind and then push forward. An air of authority is revealed.
"Drink!" The sound was concentrated into a beam of light, and the spear Zhedong who was behind him probed with one hand, and the light rolled on his palm, as if he was happily obeying Mao Zhedong's orders.
When the King of Freedom saw Mao Zhedong's beautiful skills, he was itchy for a while, and when he got up, he instantly slashed in the air, and a swirling breeze rushed to the light formed by the sound beam in Mao Zhedong's hand.
Spear Zhedong smiled, "It's a good time!" stretched out his other hand and rubbed it, and the beam of light that was originally in the palm of his hand moved backwards, and then flew up and attacked the King of Ease.
The light of the beam of sound that invades and swallows the King of Freedom is filled with the powerful power of power, freedom, and power, which is the voice of authoritarian freedom, omnipresent, all-encompassing, and easy to defend and attack.
King Xiaoyao saw that Mao Zhedong not only easily kneaded his "Breeze and Freedom" move, but also counterattacked a mysterious martial art move "Freedom of the Power".
The trick to fame is the Lingdu Escape of "Easy Avenue". The King of Freedom floated and shimmered, swinging gently, and moving from moment to moment. However, the power of Mao Zhedong's move of freedom has always followed the king of leisure.
Mao Zhedong sat back under the pavilion of time and space, and smiled to see how the King of Joy solved the trick.
King Xiaoyao understood that he was more familiar with and mastered the origin of power and freedom than himself, and found that it was impossible for the Xiaoyao Avenue to step beyond the origin of the martial arts of the freedom of the powerful.
So at the moment, his mind changed, and he used the martial arts of the eternal "Avenue of the Gods" promised by the gods, the ninth type of the way of the great gods, and the body of the King of Freedom changed in an instant, and he no longer looked like a fairy wind bone. The momentum is climbing. Hard crit the sound beam of the author's freedom
I've been hearing this since I was a teenager, but I never knew what Lu Dao was talking about. One is that I am lazy, and the other is that I don't understand.
The Book of Changes is one of the oldest texts in China and is revered by Confucianism as the first of the "Five Classics", along with the three great ancient books: the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, the Book of Changes, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The Book of Changes uses a system of symbols to describe the simplicity, change, and difficulty of state. It expresses the philosophy and cosmology of classical Chinese culture. Its central idea. It is to describe all things in the world with the alternating changes of yin and yang.
The I Ching was originally used for divination. But its influence pervades all aspects of Chinese philosophy, religion, medicine, astronomy, arithmetic, literature, music, art, military affairs, and martial arts. Since the seventeenth century, the I Ching has also been introduced to the West.
There were originally three versions of Yi: Lianshan, Guizang and Zhou Yi, but Lianshan and Guizang have been lost. Therefore, the so-called "Book of Changes" generally refers to the "Zhou Yi".
"Zhou Yi" is said to be the editor-in-chief of King Wen of Zhou, and the book was written in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which can be divided into 30 hexagrams of "Shangjing" and 34 hexagrams of "Xiajing".
In order to understand the Zhou Yi, the figures of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (recorded as Confucius in historical records) wrote works such as "Yi Upload", "Yi Xiachuan", "Xiang Upload" (elephant), "Xiang Xiachuan" (baby elephant), "Diagram Upload", "Diagram Transmission", "Diagram Transmission", "Wenyan Chuan", "Preface Hexagram Biography", "Saying Hexagram Biography", "Miscellaneous Hexagram Biography" and other works, collectively referred to as "Ten Wings", and later generations also called "Yi Chuan". The Book of Changes in a broad sense includes the Book of Changes.
The Book of Changes, or "Zhou Yi", is known as the Book of Changes in several earlier texts (e.g., the Analects, the Zhuangzi, the Zuo Chuan, etc.).
There are several interpretations of "easy":
1. It must be pointed out that the understanding of the "Yi" of the Western Zhou Dynasty should be conditional on the reform of the Western Zhou ritual and music system. Rites refer to the "festival of calmness", which is the means and tools of the ruling class to control the people and maintain the patriarchal system.
"Zhou Yi" preserves the framework and regulation of the "symphony" of bells and drums in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is unimaginable that the bell rings and eats in the lower society of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
2. The sun and the moon are easy, symbolizing yin and yang. Taken from the Eastern Han Dynasty Wei Boyang's "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed".
3. Sunrise is easy. Chen Gu should think that this is the original meaning of "dry".
4. Yi is the name of divination.
5. The meaning of change and change refers to the fact that everything in the world is constantly changing, so "Zhou Yi" is a book that teaches people to face change. The material world is in absolute motion, and thinking reflects existence, so thinking should also be constantly changing and advancing with the times. That is, the unity of heaven and man.
6. Trading, that is, the mutual change of yin and yang, and yang and yin. As shown in a general Taiji diagram.
7. "Yi" is the "Tao", the eternal truth, even if things change with time and space, the eternal Tao does not change.
8. "The Biography of Words": "The Words of Life are Easy". (Life is endless, righteousness is like "the meaning of life is to create the life that follows the universe", and experience the beauty of life, which is new and new day by day.) )
Zheng Xuan's work "Yi Lun" in the Eastern Han Dynasty believes that "Yi is one and contains three meanings: Yi Jian Yi Yiye, Yi Yi, and Yi Yi Sanye." This phrase sums up the three meanings of easy: "simple", "changeable" and "constant". That is to say, the existence of things in the universe is:
1. It is natural, showing the two properties of ease and simplicity; 2. It is always changing; 3. It maintains a kind of constancy.
As the "Book of Songs" says, "the sun will be the moon" or "like the moon is constant, like the sun rises", the movement of the sun and the moon shows an inhuman nature, which is simple, its position and shape change from time to time, this is change, but it is always "not easy" to go out of the east and set in the west.
In the record of "Taibu" in "Zhou Li", there is also a saying in "Three Changes": "Zhou Li, Chunguan Dabu": "The method of holding the three changes, one is called Lianshan, the second is called Tibet, and the third is Zhou Yi. There are eight hexagrams in the scriptures, and there are four in sixty. "Three Changes" refers to "Lianshan" Yi, "Guizang" Yi and "Zhou Yi":
1. "Lianshan" is said to be a Yi created by Fuxi or Shennong, and was written in the Xia Dynasty. "Lianshan" is easy to be headed by the hexagram "Gen", "like the mountain of Izumo endlessly".
2. The "Yi" of the Yellow Emperor era was "Returning to Tibet" Yi, which was used by the Yin Shang Dynasty to occupy the Zheng. "Returning to Tibet" is easy to take the kun hexagram as the main thing, "all things are hidden in it".
3. "Zhou Yi" is said to have been created by King Wen of Zhou and prevailed in the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Yi started with the Qiangua and Kun hexagrams.
The name "Zhou Yi" was first seen in the "Zhou Li" (formerly known as "Zhou Guan", which was written in the Warring States Period).
There are several different interpretations of the name "Zhou Yi":
"Zhou", Zheng Xuan's "Yi Lun" of the Eastern Han Dynasty, believes that "Zhou" means "Zhou Pu", that is, everything is prepared, and Zhou is repeated.
In the Tang Dynasty, Kong Yingda's "Zhou Yi Justice" believes that "Zhou" refers to the place name of Qishan County (formerly known as Xiqi, the birthplace of the Western Zhou Dynasty) in Shaanxi Province, China, and is the name of the Zhou Dynasty.
Among the three changes, "Lianshan Yi" and "Guizang Yi" have been lost, and they are not listed in the "Hanshu and Art and Literature Chronicles". Only the "Zhou Yi" has survived.
The "jing" in the I Ching refers to the classic writings. Confucianism enshrines the "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", and "Spring and Autumn" as the "Five Classics".
As mentioned above, "Jing" is a title that was later added to honor these books, and the original "Five Classics" were only called "Yi", "Poems", "Books", "Rites", and "Spring and Autumn".
The timing of Zhou Yi's writing has been the subject of much controversy. Legend has it that the ancient Fu Xi created eight trigrams, Xia Yu expanded it to sixty-four hexagrams, and the sixty-four hexagrams were recorded in the book "Lianshan", and "Lianshan" took "Gen" as the first hexagram.
