hexagrams

[amethyst]

hi,

I can't find nowhere an answer to my metaphysical question : how do you derive the hexagram of a pillar ? for example JI CHOU year is hexagram n° 20, xun above kun, any kind soul to explain how it is calculated ?

Thanks

Hi amethyst,

Can you give a second example please? Just for double checking.

another ex : WU ZI year is n° 16 chen above kun

Hi amethyst,

There is no a traditional method,  in  which hexagram originates  from the year pillar.
Shao Yong wanted to introduce a calendar, but the emperor did not accept it.
 Theoretically a big historical cycle 11520 years and 64 hex. represents it.
The present sub-cycle : 1876-2067, and the 38 and 49 hex. dominates it.
This sub-cycle the era of the big revolutions , changes and contrasts.
Lee Chun Feng historical prophecies are based on Shao Yong calendar presumably.

Best regards

Tanpai

ok, so it sounds too difficult for my little knowledge  I'm a curious person so I wanted to understand the logic behind this concept.

 Hi quahbkc ,
Nice information you have. It will be nice if you can use images of perhaps the luopan to illustrate what you have said. Thanks!!!
