Chapter 51 Heaven, earth and people

Heaven, earth, and man are the basic structures of Eastern and Western metaphysics, and all magic numbers are derived from this structure. Like the Ziping horoscope in China, the upper four of the eight characters are heavenly stems, which resemble the sky; the lower four are earthly branches, which resemble the earth.Humans hide in the Earthly Branches and are called Zhizang Renyuan. This just reflects the real situation, the sky is above, the earth is below, and people depend on the earth to survive.What's even more amazing is that the human yuan hidden in the twelve earthly branches happens to be the number of twenty-eight, which symbolizes the twenty-eight mansions in the sky, and embodies the philosophy and vision of the Chinese people who believe that people are descended from heaven and stars.

Like the sixty-four hexagrams in the Chinese "Book of Changes", each hexagram has six lines; the upper two lines represent the sky, the middle two lines represent people, and the bottom two lines represent the earth.Therefore, the first hexagram of Zhouyi is the lowest line of the sky, so Qianlong should not use it, because it was still underground at that time.The second line from the bottom to the top is to see the dragon in the field, which is the ground.The third line is a gentleman who works all day long and has arrived in the human world; the fourth line may leap into the abyss and start human struggle; the fifth line is a flying dragon in the sky, because it has just arrived in the heaven, and the last line is that the dragon has regrets It is too high to fly, and the heights are too cold, how can we have no regrets.

In the Chinese character Wang, the upper one represents the sky, the middle one represents the human being, and the lower one represents the earth, and the vertical building in the middle is the three talents of heaven, earth and human beings. Only in this way can one be called a king.
