This episode
will tell you about the BAQUA of the human body. Do you know that everyone has
a BAQUA in their body?
Why do I
say that? The Eight Diagrams in the Book of Changes represents eight parts of
the human body. Which part of the human body? I will explain to you one by one.
The
principle of Yijing Bagua is well-founded. The 5000-year-old Chinese culture is
deeply influenced by the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes is the first of
the Four Books and Five Classics, so it is the most important book.
The Eight
Diagrams of the Book of Changes divide the human body into eight parts. The
first thing to talk about is the Qian position, which represents our head. The
Qian represents the sky, and the sky is high, so it represents the leader, the
leader of a country, the father of a family, and the king. It represents our
dignity. When people see you, they will look at your face first, and your head
first. So in many of our words, we say that the chief is the head. If you have
a headache, please go to the northwest of your home to find the problem. The northwest
of your home is the Qian position, which is the head part.
Kun
represents our abdomen, mother represents the earth, and the earth will not
complain no matter how you destroy it. How you put things in or dig out of it,
it will not against it. It has the virtue of carrying all things and
accommodating hundreds of rivers, so it represents our stomach. There is a
saying called "the prime minister can take a boat in his belly" which
means that the person is very tolerant so it represents the mother.
If you
often have stomach pains, you can look for the problem in the southwest of your
home. The southwest of the Later Heaven Baqua is the Kun location. Check if you
put something that shouldn't be put in. If there is a trash or it is messy. If
yes, please clean it up.
Zhen Qua
means movement, thunder and vibration. What part of the hexagram represents
vibration or movement? It's our legs. That's why we all use our legs to run.
What we use to run? Run with legs. Hence, the foot is Zhen Qua.
What does
this part represent? It's hands. Gen is a mountain. The ancients could not walk
over the mountain when they saw a mountain. The mountain represents a stop, so
we, humans basically have a natural reaction. When we want to stop or when we
want others to stop, we will raise the hands, this means stopping.
The other
part is Dui. What part does Dui Qua represent? Is the mouth. Dui represents our
mouth because our mouth is the biggest gap in our body, which is the word Dui.
If we add a heart next to it, it means joy, and if we add a word next to it, it
means talking. When we are happy, we will say a lot of things, which are
expressed by our mouth. When we are happy, we laugh, so Dui means happiness, so
Dui is also the youngest daughter because the youngest daughter is the happiest
at home, and often she will be cute, and she will say some cute and cute words
to please parents.
Then I’m
going to talk about eyes. What do eyes represent? Li Qua is fire. We all need
light to see things. Without light, we can't see things. So it makes sense to
explain why each divination is like this.
The other
is the ear. What is the ear? It’s what we said before. How do the word Kan is written?
There is a ‘soil’ next to a ‘owe’, so the lack of earth means the river, and the
word difficulty comes from this, why? Because the ancients couldn’t crossed the
big rivers easily. The Yellow River flooded, and Dayu tried to control the
waterin the past. These
are all big problems. Water was a big problem for the ancients. The Kan Qua
represent our ears, because our ears have ear water. Water represents
cleverness (wisdom). Why there is an idiom called “ears cleverness and eye
bright”? Because earlier we said we use light to see things, but what does ear
have to do with intelligence? We get knowledge through listening. The teacher
explains that we listen. We listen to understand and we gain knowledge. If you
listen more, you will be smart instead of saying more. If you say more, you
will impart your knowledge to others.
What does
Xun Qua stand for? It means entering (wind) because the wind is pervasive?
Where and which part of the body represents entry? It’s actually our thighs between
the calf and our buttocks. The thighs are the most powerful part of our entire
human body. It tells us to enter another realm. The thighs lead us into another
realm.
Therefore,
there is a reason why these eight divinations represent eight human body parts.
For
example, your family members have problems with their stomachs. As I mentioned
earlier, go to the southwest to see if there are any problems. The southwest is
the stomach. If you often have headaches, go to the northwest to see if there
are some trash cans, or if they are very dirty, you must clean them up. If
someone in your family has a broken hand, then you have to go to your northeast
Gen Qua to find the problem.
I will
share this episode with you until here. I will do a lot more youtube to share
the great knowledge of I Ching with you. Thank you.
