Subdivided, it can be said that the sky has yin and yang, the earth has heaven and earth, and people have benevolence and righteousness. The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth constitute everything that is visible and visible. Regarding the invisible time, the ancients used the heavenly stems and earthly branches as the calculation symbols of the calendar, and used them as year, year, and year. Marking of month and day.
According to legend, Chiyou caused chaos in the Central Plains, and the Yellow Emperor worried about the suffering of the people. He fought against Chiyou in the field of Zhuolu, but the battle was fierce and at a disadvantage, and the bleeding continued for hundreds of miles. The dry round cloth (such as the sky), and the twelve earthly branches square cloth (such as the earth), Da Nao’s combined them into sixty Jiazi. “Historical Records” also records that the ten heavenly stems are ten mothers, which are: A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren, and Gui; the twelve earthly branches are twelve sons, namely: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao , Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, referred to as: “Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches”.
According to the documents of the Han Dynasty, dragon horses appeared in the Yellow River in the Yuan Dynasty, with graphics on their backs, and turtles with characters on their backs appeared in Luoshui. Four hexagrams and three hundred and eighty-four lines are called “Book of Changes”; each hexagram and line has a brief comment (such as “Xiang”), which is the hexagram and line, and later generations use it to understand good and bad Blessing and misfortune.

“The Black Rabbit Walks into the Green Dragon’s Lair”
2023 is a pivotal year
The heavenly stems correspond to the five elements and the five colors, and the earthly branches also correspond to the zodiac. According to the reciprocating cycle of the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches, there are a total of 60 combinations, that is, according to the calendar calculation of sixty years as one Jiazi, we can know that 2023 is the year of Kuimao, and It is the so-called “Black Rabbit Year” (the decane corresponds to black, and the mao corresponds to the rabbit). According to the prophecy book “Tui Bei Tu” co-authored by Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang in the Tang Dynasty, the fifty-second image (the forty-third image in the gold version), You can see how they interpret the 2023 “Black Rabbit” Kuimao Year:
【Fire Wind Cauldron】
Prophecy said
The ruler is not the ruler, the minister is not the minister
From the beginning to the end, the end is determined
Song said
Black Rabbit walks into Qinglong Cave
Only the descendants of the tree on the outer root have been married for thirty years.
The Ding Hang revealed in “Tui Bei Tu” is the fiftieth hexagram among the sixty-four hexagrams.The upper hexagram is the Li hexagram, which represents fire, that is,☲the next hexagram is the Xun hexagram, which represents wind, that is, the☴so it is commonly called “Fire Wind Ding”.
“Xiang” said: “There is fire on the wood, and the gentleman uses the righteous life to consolidate his life.” The “Xu Gua Zhuan” written by Confucius said: Ding, take the new. Ding has the meaning of cooking and obtaining new things. In ancient times, Ding symbolized the state and society. This hexagram has the meaning of establishing a new regime, “Ding Xin”. The essence of the hexagrams is that a gentleman’s talent can be appreciated, and as long as he sticks to the righteous way, he can succeed smoothly.
Regarding the sixth day (the first line), “Xiang” said: “The toe of the tripod is upside down, it is not contradictory. Whether it is beneficial or not, it is already expensive.” That is, the big tripod with the feet upside down, but this is a good thing, because the upside down The big cauldron is needed to pour out the old filth smoothly.
After understanding the Ding hexagram, readers can look at the fifty-second prophecy in “Tui Bei Tu”: “The monarch is not the monarch, the minister is not the minister, and the end is difficult and the end is determined.” Does it mean innovation and a new atmosphere?
And 2024 is Jiachen, which is the “Year of the Qinglong” (the armor corresponds to Qing, and Chen corresponds to the dragon), and then look at the fifty-second image of “Tui Bei Tu”: “The black rabbit walks into the Qinglong’s lair and wants to be exhausted. It can’t be said that there is only a tree outside. In the past thirty years, the “children and grandchildren knot” combined with the tripod hexagram expressly stated in “Tui Bei Tu” can confirm that what the two prophets predicted is the change from 2023 to 2024: it seems that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, but there are many fruits , A bumper harvest year full of children and grandchildren.
