Chapter 532
After Xia Baiwan asked this question, many of the owners of jewelry companies at the scene looked at Qin Feng with contempt.
Because in the eyes of the bosses on the scene, it was just a joke that Qin Feng was so young that he dared to say that he understood the Book of Changes.
You should know that Xia Baiwan is not only the vice president of the Jewelry Association, but also the vice president of the Yijing Association. However, the real Yijing people, many wealthy and powerful bosses on the scene have invited Xia Baiwan to survey Feng Shui for them. The words and opinions he said often convinced these bosses, and his set of theories are very mature.
Qin Feng said lightly: "The Book of Changes is an ancient classic that explains the changes of all things in the world. The Book of Changes is known as the source of the first great way among all scriptures." It is the general program of Chinese traditional culture, contains simple and profound natural laws and harmonious dialectical ideas, and is the crystallization of the Chinese nation's five thousand years of wisdom."
Xia Baiwan waved his hand and said, "Qin Feng, don't show off your memory to me here. What you are talking about is concept. What I ask is the difference between the Book of Changes and the Book of Changes."
Qin Feng looked at Xia Baiwan coldly and said, "President Xia, do you really want to argue with me?"
Xia Baiwan said coldly: "It's not that you want to argue with you, because you don't have the qualifications yet. I just want to see if you really understand the Book of Changes.
If you don’t know anything about it, you are not qualified to talk to me about the content of the Book of Changes here!”
Qin Feng nodded: "Okay, since you said that, I'll have a good chat with you.
In the Department of the Book of Changes, there are three views on the difference between the Book of Changes and the Book of Changes. These three views have been debated continuously and have been debated for thousands of years, but no one can convince anyone.
The first view holds that the Book of Changes and the Book of Changes are not the same thing. There are three books in the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes is just one of them passed down, and the other two are lost.
According to the master of Chinese studies, Nan Huaijin, the Book of Changes refers to the three books "Lianshan Yi", "Guizang Yi" and "Zhou Yi", which are collectively called "Three Yi". The three Yis have different eras, and the contents of the hexagrams are also different.
"Lianshan Yi" was produced in the Shennong era and began with the Gen hexagram; "Guizang Yi" was produced in the Huangdi era and started with the Kun hexagram; "Zhouyi" was produced in the Zhou Dynasty and started with the Qian hexagram. Some people believe that "Lianshan Yi" and "Guizang Yi" have been lost and completely lost. What we are talking about now is "Zhouyi".
The second view holds that the "Book of Changes" is the "Book of Changes", and the "Book of Changes" is the "Book of Changes", or the "Book of Changes", or the "Book of Changes".
There are differences in the views on the loss of "Lianshan" and "Guizang". They believe that "Lianshan Yi" and "Guizang Yi" have not been lost, but have been unified into the "Book of Changes", which are actually the same content.
According to historical records, Shennong is actually called Lianshan clan and Huangdi is called Guizang clan. Therefore, Lianshan and Guizang are both code names. Zhou Yi is called Zhou Yi because of the place name Zhou in Qiyang of the Zhou Dynasty. In fact, their contents are the same, and they have different code names when they are in different times. The "Zhou Yi" was developed from "Lianshan clan" and "Guizang clan". The basic contents of the sixty-four hexagrams in the book are the same, but the divination method is different, which is evidence.
The content of the "Book of Changes" consists of scriptures and texts, so it is also called the "Book of Changes".
The third view holds that the Book of Changes is part of the Book of Changes.
This view holds that the "Book of Changes" consists of two parts: "Book of Changes" and "Book of Changes". The "Book of Changes" consists of hexagrams and yao scripts. There are 64 hexagrams, each hexagram has six lines, totaling 384 lines. The "Book of Changes" has ten wings, namely: 杨杨, 杨杨杨, 杨杨, 杨杨杨, 杨杨杨, 杨杨杨, 杨杨杨, 杨杨杨, 杨杨杨杨, 杨杨杨杨, 杨杨杨杨, 杨杨杨杨, 杨杨杨杨杨, 杨杨杨杨杨, 杨杨杨杨杨杨, 杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨
"Records of the Grand Historian" records: "King Wen was imprisoned and performed the Zhou Yi." When King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned by King Zhou of Shang, he wrote the book "Book of Changes". This is the conclusion he made after studying the book "Book of Changes". Chinese culture developed from this book, which was developed from the hexagrams described in the "Book of Changes".
After Qin Feng finished speaking, he looked coldly at Xia Baiwan and said, "President Xia, I wonder if you are satisfied with my answer?"
After hearing this, Xia Baiwan was indeed a little shocked because she didn't expect that the situation could really be answered.
You should know that it is impossible to figure out the three views on the relationship between the Book of Changes and the Book of Changes, if it is not an expert who really studies the Book of Changes, and Qin Feng can answer it easily. Could it be that he really also studied the Book of Changes?
It should not be like, if someone who really studies the I Ching, how could he do something like sharp jewelry? Don’t he know that being a person should be moderate?
Thinking of this, Xia Baiwan's eyes rolled and digged a hole for Qin Feng again: "Qin Feng, do you know what the book of the Book of Yi is about?"
Qin Feng looked at Xia Baiwan coldly. At this moment, Xia Baiwan's image in Qin Feng's heart was very bad. Because Xia Baiwan's first question had already dug a big hole for Qin Feng. At that time, no matter which point Qin Feng said, the rest of Million could use other points of these three points to refute it, and it could definitely be said very well. In addition to the support of these people at the scene, Qin Feng would inevitably treat him as an ignorant person.
This pit was dug quite deeply. If Qin Feng really didn't understand the Yi Jing and Zhou Yi, then he would really fall apart this time.
Qin Feng did not expect that Xia Baiwan's first question did not deceive him, and the second question came out again, which was also quite controversial.
Qin Feng said lightly: "Some people say that the book of the Book of Changes is used for divination and prediction, some people say that it is the originator of Feng Shui, some people think that it introduces philosophical thoughts, and some people think that it is a history book. In fact, the book of the Book of Changes involves a wide range of contents and all things in the world. No one can tell what kind of book it is in one sentence. It should be said that for the book of the Book of Changes, there are 1,000 Hamlets in the eyes of 1,000 readers.
But in my opinion, many people now claim to be masters of the Book of Changes. In fact, these people have only a slight understanding of the Book of Changes. They are borers in the Book of Changes, and they are cheating everywhere under the banner of studying the Book of Changes or masters of the Book of Changes."
Xia Baiwan's face turned gloomy at that time. He could hear what Qin Feng meant inside and outside. Qin Feng was obviously accusing himself of being the one who cheated.
Xia Baiwan stared at Qin Feng with cold eyes and said, "Qin Feng, don't play this kind of word game with me. Although your answer sounds very reasonable, there are 1,000 Hamlets in the eyes of 1,000 people, but what I want to ask is, what is the Hamlet in your eyes like! Didn't you say you are studying the Book of Changes? No problem, then let's talk about what you already look like in your eyes. Don't change the concept for me!"
Xia Baiwan was able to survive until now, not only because of his level of fooling, but also because of his super fast reaction speed and rich knowledge accumulation. It is not so easy to be a charlatan. Otherwise, how could he fool so many bosses to support him as the vice president of the Jewelry Association?
Don’t underestimate the position of this vice president, don’t think that every vice president has to pay a lot of money to the Jewelry Association every year. If you lose money every year, why are there so many people trying to be the vice president?
The reason is very simple. Sitting in this position can be regarded as a very prominent identity. This is a symbol of social status. With this position, he can make a lot of money from other places. The reason why the bosses present can become his Xia Baiwan’s customer is due to his position as vice president. Just from the hands of these jewelers on the scene, he gains no less than a few million in benefits every year!
This is the importance of position.
So Qin Feng wanted to get through just now, but was exposed by Xia Baiwan, forcing Qin Feng to express his views.
It was not until this time that Qin Feng put away his contempt for Xia Baiwan and said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, the Book of Changes is fundamentally a philosophical book that comprehensively looks at nature. The Tao is unchanged, that is, "not easy". How to use the philosophical thoughts of the Book of Changes to guide real social practice, adapt to the trend of the times and the laws of nature, and promote the natural development of society is Taoism, that is, "change". Society is moving forward and changing, and the soul of Taoism is applied to the times. Learning the Book of Changes well is fundamentally about applying it and studying and solving real problems. Otherwise, blindly empty talk on the terrain can only mislead oneself, others, and the country, and society; blindly divination and fortune-telling under the terrain makes the Book of Changes become a technique that is almost like a witch, which is also a mistake of oneself, others, and the country, and society."
After Qin Feng finished speaking, Xia Baiwan's face became even more ugly, because he did not expect that Qin Feng would understand the concepts of difficulty and change. It would be impossible for someone who was not proficient in the Book of Changes. In Qin Feng's words just now, the narrative was accompanied by an attack on himself.
This made Xia Baiwan quite unhappy, because reading Feng Shui and fortune-telling for these jewellery merchants on site was his main means of making money. He could not tolerate Qin Feng smashing his job, so he immediately sneered and asked back: "Then, boss Qin Feng, if you say that the Yi Ching does not have the function of reading Feng Shui and fortune-telling, or even saying that it is witchcraft, then why are there so many people in our China who tell fortune and Feng Shui?"
Qin Feng sneered and said, "President Xia, please don't misinterpret what I meant just now. As I said just now, the book of the Book of Yijing is all-encompassing and the source of our Chinese culture. Whether it is Feng Shui or fortune-telling, it is just a side-by-side application of the book of the Book of Yijing.
Nowadays, science has developed to such a field today. The South-to-North Water Diversion of the Three Gorges Project has caught up with Dayu's flood control, manned space flight has caught up with Chang'e's flight to the moon, and mobile Internet has caught up with the eyes of thousands of miles away. Why do people still believe in things like watching the sky at night, divination and fortune-telling? Four words: mental demand.
The sky is not high, but the hearts of the people are the highest. I have become an official and want to be a bigger official, I have become rich and want to make greater wealth, and I have become famous and want to be a bigger name.
If you have too big hearts, you will have more ideas. If you can't figure it out, you will go to ghosts and gods. Therefore, high-ranking officials and rich people often accompany diviners because these people have a lot of social resources. On the one hand, they are afraid of losing it, and on the other hand, they want to get more, so there are more questions to ask. Do you still need to divine and ask cabbage in the early morning to divine and divine?
The Yi Ching culture, as the source of the great way of Chinese culture, has shaped the Chinese spirit as a whole and represents the values, world outlook, methodology of Chinese civilization from the source. Practicing the Yi Ching is to cultivate the great way, cultivate the righteous spirit of heaven and earth that is self-improvement and virtue, and specifically to everyone, it is to cultivate the mind.
We Chinese people pay attention to the path of "cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country and pacifying the world", the goal of "establishing virtue, making merits and sayings", "establishing one's mind for the world, establishing one's destiny for the people, inheriting one's unique knowledge for the past sages, and opening peace for all ages", "no good or evil body, there is good or evil movement. Knowing good and evil is conscience, and doing good to eliminate evil is investigating things" all take the mind cultivation as the basis, starting with the mind cultivation as the basis, and cultivating the mind.
The Book of Changes is the great way. Everything must be done on the way. A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. The way to be an official is to be diligent in serving the people, the way to be a business is to operate honestly, the way to be a literary person needs to be true, and the way to be a art requires more good works. Otherwise, everything will look at money, society will have problems and individuals will capsize. If you don’t do bad things, why fear ghosts knock on the door? A upright heart and body, and self-improvement are the best eight characters, the best Feng Shui, and the most correct fortune. It is better to go home to sell sweet potatoes without being a corruption and depravity. No matter how good the Feng Shui master is, the best way to find a way out."
After Qin Feng finished speaking, everyone's eyes showed deep thoughts. Although everyone's position was still on Xia Baiwan's side, everyone had to seriously think about what Qin Feng said just now.
They have to admit that what Qin Feng said just now is quite reasonable.
Xia Baiwan stared at Qin Feng, with a complex look in his eyes. He did not expect that Qin Feng would have such a deep understanding of the culture of the Book of Changes, so thoroughly, and so profoundly revealed him, which made him feel a little crisis.
At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly said: "President Xia, what I said to you just now is only on the personal level. I am telling you about the overall situation. Over the past hundred years, Western learning has spread to the east, and basically explaining the East based on Western doctrine standards, because the East has lost cultural confidence. At present, our China has risen, and it is time to reshape Chinese cultural confidence. As the source of the great way of Chinese culture, the Book of Changes needs to keep pace with the times and continue to develop.
Therefore, as a researcher of the Book of Changes, we can no longer continue to consider our own gains in acre of three-part land. We only think about relying on the art of doing things developed by the Book of Changes to make money for individuals. Instead, we should seriously consider whether we should make some contributions to our Chinese cultural confidence, and whether we should consider how we use our Chinese cultural perspective to explain Western doctrines, rather than using Western doctrines to explain the East. Different standard changes will lead to different results.
Not to mention, the most widely used computer technology is binary, that is, 0 and 1. As we all know, the inventor of binary was inspired by the relationship between Yin and Yang in our Huaxia.
There is a passage in Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching:
Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
All things carry yin and embrace yang, and the qi is harmonious.
In fact, if you truly understand the meaning of this sentence, you will understand how binary was born.”
Speaking of this, Qin Feng stared at Xia Baiwan coldly and said, "President Xia, now, do you still dare to continue to argue with me?"
