Blessed life is limitless.

The Eight Diagrams culture of the Book of Changes is the core essence of Chinese culture.

This essence later became the magic weapon of Taoism and the pearl of Confucianism.

The Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes were created by Fu Xi and Nu Wa, the ancestors of the Chinese nation.

The Book of Changes was improved by King Wen of Zhou and Duke of Zhou, and the Book of Changes was improved by Confucius.

Zhuge Changqing's research found that the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes are the secret magic weapon that Fu Xi and Nu Wa left down for the development of the Chinese nation.

In the endless history, the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes have been perfected by countless sages, ancestors and ancestors. Today, they have entered the civil society and shine on China and the world as the sun of Chinese culture.

Zhuge Changqing believed that the development of the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes could not be separated from the silent dedication of such sages as Shennong, Huangdi, King Wen of Zhou, Duke of Zhou, Duke of Jiang Taigong, Laozi, Confucius, Guiguzi, Dong Zhongshu, Jiao Yanshou, Jingfang, Zheng Xuan, Huang Shigong, Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, Xu Maogong, Yuan Tiangang, Guo Chunfeng, Chen Tuan, Shao Yong, Zhu Xi, Wang Yangming, Liu Bowen, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Outlaws of the Marsh, Journey to the West, Journey to the East, and the list of gods The spread of traditional books such as Shi Gongan, the Three Heroes and Five Righteousness, and Liaozhai Zhiyi, combined with practical application, has entered the folk.

The Eight Diagrams is a basic philosophical concept in ancient China, which originates from the theory of Yin and Yang in ancient China. It is said that "the infinite generates the extreme, the extreme is Tai Chi, Tai Chi generates the two Yi (i.e. Yin and Yang), the two Yi generates the four Symbols (i.e. Shaoyang, Sun, Shaoyin, Taiyin), the four Symbols perform the Eight Diagrams, and the eight sixty-four Diagrams".

Eight Diagrams: A set of symbolic symbols in ancient China. Use "one" to represent yang, "--" to represent yin, and use three such symbols to form eight forms, called the Eight Diagrams.

Each hexagram represents a certain thing. The eight trigrams are used to symbolize various natural and human phenomena. There are detailed discussions in the Book of Changes. It is said that the Eight Diagrams were created by Fu Xi and later used for divination.

（8） Eight Diagrams and Human Body:

The number of congenital eight trigrams is in line with the order of human body formation. In the first month of the womb, the fetus has the yang hyperactivity of the combination of sperm and egg, which corresponds to the dry one. In the second month, there is liquid, which is formed by the gas, which corresponds to the two. In the third month, water and gas are combined to generate heat, so as to keep away from the corresponding. In the fourth month, the fetus vibrated in response to the fourth shock. The fetus begins to breathe in the fifth month, which corresponds to Sundance. In the sixth month, the tire water was abundant, and the corresponding number was Kan 6. In the seventh month, the intestines and stomach of the fetus are formed, corresponding to Gen Qi. In the eighth month, all fetal muscles are formed, corresponding to Kun (because Kun belongs to earth, it is muscle). At this time, the fetus is fully developed. Therefore, those who are born after the eighth month of pregnancy are easy to maintain because of their inborn sufficiency, while those who are born before the eighth month of pregnancy are difficult to maintain because of their inborn deficiency.

In the process of growth and development, the fetus begins to have head. The head of the human body is the head of the yang, which is the dry, so the dry is one. The second is the lung. The lung is gold, so it should be replaced by two. Once again, the heart is born. The heart belongs to fire, so the separation corresponds to the separation, so the separation is three. Once again, it generates liver, which belongs to wood and corresponds to earthquake, so earthquake is four. Then the gall, which also belongs to wood, corresponds to Sunda, so Sunda is five. Then there is the kidney, which belongs to water and corresponds to the ridge, so the ridge is six. Then the stomach and intestines are born later. The stomach and intestines belong to soil and correspond to the root, so the root is seven. Finally, muscle skin is born. Muscle skin belongs to earth and corresponds to kun, so kun is eight.

Qian: It is gold, corresponding to the head, heart, and meridian, representing the psychological condition and respiratory system function of people.

Exchange: gold, corresponding to mouth, trachea, large intestine, respiratory system and large intestine function.

Li: fire, corresponding to eyes, small intestine, heart and cardiovascular system.

周易八卦，中华民族传统文化重要组成部分。

----- 诸葛长青

　　福生无量天尊。

    周易八卦文化，是中华文化的核心精髓。

    这个精髓，后来成为道家的法宝、儒家的明珠。

    周易八卦有中华民族的人类始祖伏羲、女娲创造。

    经过周文王、周公完善为周易，经过孔子完善为易经。

    诸葛长青研究发现，周易八卦，是伏羲、女娲为了中华民族发展，特意留下传承下来的秘密法宝。

   无量历史长河中，周易八卦经过了无数圣贤、先师、祖师的完善，今天已经走进民间，作为中华文化的太阳，照耀中国和世界。

   诸葛长青认为，周易八卦的发展，离不开神农、黄帝、周文王、周公、姜太公、老子、孔子、鬼谷子、董仲舒、焦延寿、京房、郑玄、黄石公、张良、诸葛亮、徐茂公、袁天罡、郭淳风、陈抟、邵雍、朱熹、王阳明、刘伯温等圣贤的默默奉献，也离不开三国演义、水浒传、西游记、东游记、封神榜、施公案、三侠五义、聊斋志异等传统书籍的传播，结合实际运用而进入民间。

   中国传统文化中一种文化思想理论体系，遍布各行各业、政治家、统治者、军事家用其运筹帷幄，治国安邦；民众百姓则将其作为养生、预测祸福、经商盈利的工具。

   诸葛长青认为，周易八卦是一门哲学，是天地之道，是自然文化，是人类生存发展的智慧文化。

   八卦是中国古代的基本哲学概念，来源中国古代的阴阳学说，所谓“无极生有极，有极是太极，太极生两仪（即阴阳），两仪生四象（即少阳，太阳，少阴，太阴），四象演八卦，八八六十四卦”。

   八卦：我国古代的一套有象征意义的符号。用“一”代表阳，用“--”代表阴，用三个这样的符号组成八种形式，叫做八卦。

   每一卦形代表一定的事物。八卦互相搭配又得到六十四卦，用来象征各种自然现象和人事现象。在《易经》里有详细的论述。八卦相传是伏羲所造，后来用来占卜。

   （一）八卦基本内容：

    乾、坤、坎、离、震、艮、巽、兑。

      乾代表天，坤代表地，坎代表水，离代表火，

    震代表雷，艮代表山，巽代表风，兑代表沼泽。

   乾：为天。五行属性为金。代表天，也代表金属或具有金属性质的东西。
