One of the foundations of Qi Men Dun Jia: the meaning of the twenty-four solar terms

奇门遁甲基础之一：二十四节气的含义

----- 诸葛长青

It is also a scientific masterpiece on the laws of movement of the celestial bodies, man and the earth, and the earth's magnetic field is hidden in the Qi Men Dun Jia, which in turn makes it the most profound and precise in revealing the natural laws of development and change in the universe.

       Qi Men Dun Jia is an ancient Chinese art, a traditional and precious cultural heritage.

　 The meaning of "Qi Men Dun Jia" is made up of three concepts: "Qi", "Men" and "Dun Jia".

   "Qi" means "B, C and D".

  "Gate" is the eight gates of "Hugh, Sang, Hurt, Du, Jing, Alarm, Death and Kai".

   "Transport" means to hide.

   "A" refers to the six A's, namely "A Zi, A Xu, A Shen, A Wu, A Chen and A Yin", "A" is the most honoured of the ten stems, it hides but does not appear, hidden under the six rites.

   "The Six Rites are "E, F, G, X, N, and X".

    The principle of concealment is that A Zi is the same as Six E, A Xu is the same as Six Hex, A Shen is the same as Six G, A Wu is the same as Six Xin, A Chen is the same as Six Non, and A Yin is the same as Six Dec. In addition, there are nine other stars: Peng, Ren, Chong, Fu, Ying, Rui, Zhu, Xin and Avian.

   According to the specific time and day, the "six yi, three qi, eight doors, nine stars" layout, to account for the measurement of human society and the natural world, in terms of personnel relations to choose the auspicious times and auspicious directions, constitutes a unique discipline in Chinese mystical culture ---- Qi Men Dun Jia.

   In traditional Chinese culture, Qi Men Dun Jia is based on the eight trigrams of the I Ching, combined with astrological calendars, astronomy and geography, the eight gates and nine stars, yin and yang, the five elements, the three wonders and the six rituals, etc. It is a masterpiece of Chinese forecasting and the highest level of the I Ching, and therefore Qi Men Dun Jia has been called imperial science since ancient times. Politicians, military men and modern entrepreneurs have used Qi Men Dun Jia for decision-making and have made extraordinary achievements.

   Qi Men Dun Jia, taught to the Yellow Emperor by the Nine Heavenly Maidens, has been passed down to this day after the Yellow Emperor, and is an untold secret of the emperors.

   Most of the sages and sages who used the art of Qi Men Dun Jia in ancient times were military masters who ruled and pacified the world, such as Jiang Tai Gong, Fan Li, Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bo Wen. In ancient times, the art of Qi Men Dun Jia was mainly used for national affairs and military strategy. Nowadays, it is mostly used in business development, market operation and management, and the results are very significant. In the era of globalisation, where shopping malls are like battlefields, Qi Men Dun Jia is the secret sauce of Chinese entrepreneurs to win.

　　The strength of Qi Men Dun Jia lies in its thorough analysis of things and the use of appropriate methods to co-ordinate everything. In life and in work, Qi Men Dun Jia has a high practical value and can guide us to correctly grasp opportunities and avoid harm.

   Zhuge Changqing shares the basic content of the 24 Solar Terms with those who are interested.

   The 24 solar terms are divided according to the position of the sun on the ecliptic (i.e. the earth's orbit around the sun). The sun travels from the ecliptic (zero degree of the ecliptic, when the sun shines vertically on the equator) and every 15 degrees is a solar term; a week of travel back to the ecliptic is a return year of 360 degrees, so the 24 solar terms are divided into 24 solar terms. The dates of the festivals are relatively fixed in the solar calendar, e.g. Spring is always between 3 and 5 February. In the lunar calendar, however, the dates of the solar terms are not so easy to determine.

　　I. The basic symbols of the twenty-four solar terms.

   Zhuge Changqing: In ancient China, it was customary to indicate the beginning of the four seasons with the establishment of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The spring equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox and winter solstice are then in the middle of the seasons.

   The naming of the twenty-four solar terms shows that the division of the seasons took into account the changes in natural phenomena such as seasons, climate and weather. Among them, spring, summer, autumn and winter are used to reflect the seasons, and are the beginning of the four seasons of the year dividing the year into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

   The spring, autumn, summer and winter equinoxes are divided from an astronomical point of view and reflect the turning points of the change in solar altitude. Because of China's vast territory and its very distinctive monsoonal and continental climate, the weather and climate vary greatly from region to region, so the four seasons vary greatly from region to region.

　　The five festivals of Xia Xia, Da Xia, Xi Xi, Xiao Han and Da Han reflect the changes in temperature and are used to indicate the degree of heat and cold at different times of the year.

   The four solar terms of Yu Shui, Gu Yu, Xiao Xue and Da Xue reflect the phenomenon of precipitation and indicate the timing and intensity of rainfall and snowfall.

   White dew, cold dew and frost reflect the phenomenon of condensation and condensation of water vapour on the surface, but in essence they reflect the process and degree of gradual drop in temperature: when the temperature drops to a certain level, condensation of water vapour occurs; as the temperature continues to drop, not only does the condensation increase, but it also gets cooler; when the temperature drops below zero degrees Celsius, the water vapour condenses into frost.

　　The small full moon and mango seeds reflect the ripening and harvesting of the crops concerned.

   The first thunder in the sky and the revival of the stinging insects under the ground are used to herald the return of spring.

　　The meaning of the twenty-four solar terms

    The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter - also known collectively as the "four lis" - indicate the beginning of the four seasons. The word "立" means "beginning". On the Gregorian calendar, it usually falls around 4 February, 5 May, 7 August and 7 November each year. The "Four Risings" indicate the beginning of the astronomical seasons, which, climatically speaking, are generally still in the previous season, as in the case of the Yellow River basin, which is still in the middle of winter.

　　The summer and winter solstices - together known as the "two solstices" - represent the astronomical extremes of summer and winter. The word "zhi" means "extreme" and "most". The summer and winter solstices generally fall on June 21 and December 22 of each year on the Gregorian calendar. The summer solstice is a time of continuous rain and the winter solstice is a time of snow.　　

   The spring and autumn equinoxes - together known as the "two equinoxes" - indicate equal lengths of day and night. The word "equinox" means equal division. These two festivals usually fall on the 20th of March and 23rd of September in the Gregorian calendar.　　

   Yu Shui - indicates the beginning of precipitation and the gradual increase in rainfall. The rain falls around February 18 each year on the Gregorian calendar.　　

   Sting - The first stirrings of spring thunder awaken animals hibernating in the soil. This is the time when the temperature rises faster and spring thunder gradually starts to stir. It is celebrated around March 5 every year on the Gregorian calendar.　　

   Qingming - it means clear weather, fresh and clean air, gradual warming and flourishing grass and trees. It also means light and wise. It is celebrated on the 5th of April in the Gregorian calendar.　　

   Grain Rain - the increase in rainfall greatly favours the growth of cereal crops. It is celebrated around 20 April every year on the Gregorian calendar.　　

   Little Full - This means that the seeds of summer crops are beginning to fill up, but are not yet ripe, only little full, not yet full. The day around 21 May in the Gregorian calendar is Little Full.　　

   Mango seeds - wheat and other awned crops are ripe and summer planting begins. It is around 5 June every year. Mango seeds are burning days　　

   Xia Xia, Daxia and Shishu - summer means heat. The minor summer is not yet the hottest, the major summer is the hottest time, and the end of the summer is the day when the heat is about to end. They fall on around July 7, July 23 and August 23 of the Gregorian calendar respectively.　　

   White Dew - the temperature starts to drop, the weather turns cooler and there is dew on the grass in the morning. The White Dew is around 7 September each year on the Gregorian calendar.　　

   Cold Dew - The temperature is even colder and the air has become dewy and gradually chilly. This day usually falls on the 8th of October each year.　　

   Frostfall - The weather is getting colder and frost begins to fall. It usually falls on the 23rd of October each year on the Gregorian calendar.　　  Light Snow and Heavy Snow - Snow begins to fall, with light and heavy indicating the extent of snowfall. The light snow falls on the 22nd of November each year in the Gregorian calendar, while the heavy snow falls around the 7th of December.　　

   Little and Big Chill - The weather gets further colder, with Little Chill not yet reaching its coldest and Big Chill being the coldest time of the year. The Lesser and Greater Cold are on the 5th of January in the Gregorian calendar and around the 20th of that month.

　　The twenty-four solar terms reflect the annual visual movement of the sun, so the dates are basically fixed in the current calendar, with the first half of the year on the 6th and 21st, and the second half on the 8th and 23rd, with no difference of 1 to 2 days before or after.

  Quickly remembering the 24 solar terms (Zhuge Changqing: thanks to the sages for creating this memory song)

  The spring rains startle the spring and clear the valley; the summer is full of mangoes and summer heat.

  In autumn, the dew and frost fall in autumn, and in winter, the snow and cold fall in winter.

  The two monthly festivals do not change, but differ by a day or two at most.

  The first half of the year is six twenty-one, the second half is eight twenty-three.

  Zhuge Changqing notes.

  1, "Spring rain is a shock to the spring and the clear valley days", etc., referring to the two or four festivals, one by one, you will find them.

  2. "The two monthly festivals do not change, but differ by one or two days at most. The first half of the year is six twenty-one, the second half is eight twenty-three", meaning: 15 days for each festival, exactly two festivals per month. It is the first half of the festival and the date of the gas are respectively 6 and 21, the second half of the festival and the date of the gas are respectively 8 and 23, at most a difference of one or two days, the beginning of the month of the solar calendar is the festival is the end of the month is the gas, the spring is the festival rain is the gas ...... If the 2012 Qingming Festival is April 4th and 6th than there is a difference of two days, the 2012 Valley Rain is April 20th, 1 day worse than 21. 

  Zhuge Changqing: Chinese wisdom is vast and profound. As we look up at the stars and review history today, we cannot help but be grateful to the sages of our ancestors, whose wisdom we admire.

   《奇门遁甲》是中华民族的精典著作，号称帝王之学，又为夺天地造化之学，也是论天体、人和地球运动规律的科学巨著，而地球的磁场就隐藏在奇门遁甲之中，进而使其揭示宇宙间事物发展变化的自然规律也最为深奥，最为精确实用。

       奇门遁甲，是中国古老的一种术数，是一门传统珍贵文化遗产。

　 “奇门遁甲”的含义是由“奇”“门”“遁甲”三个概念组成。

   “奇”就是“乙、丙、丁”三奇；

  “门”就是“休、生、伤、杜、景、惊、死、开”八门；

   “遁”即隐藏，

   “甲”指六甲，即“甲子、甲戌、甲申、甲午、甲辰、甲寅”，“甲”是在十干中最为尊贵，它藏而不现，隐遁于六仪之下。

   “六仪”就是“戊、己、庚、辛、壬、癸”。

    隐遁原则是甲子同六戊，甲戌同六己，甲申同六庚，甲午同六辛，甲辰同六壬，甲寅同六癸。另外还配合蓬，任，冲，辅，英，芮，柱，心，禽九星。

   根据具体时日，以“六仪、三奇、八门、九星”排局，以占测人类社会和自然世界，在人事关系方面选择吉时吉方，就构成了中国神秘文化中一个特有的门类----奇门遁甲。

   在中国传统文化中，奇门遁甲以易经八卦为基础，结合星相历法、天文地理、八门九星、阴阳五行、三奇六仪等要素，是我国预测学中集大成者、是易经最高层次的预测学，因此奇门遁甲自古被称为帝王学。历代政治家、军事家以及现代企业家把奇门遁甲用于决策，成就了非凡的事业。

   奇门遁甲，由九天玄女传授给黄帝，黄帝之后，流传至今，是帝王的不传之秘。

   古代使用奇门遁甲之术的贤圣们大多是治国平天下的军师，如姜太公、范蠡、张良、诸葛亮、刘伯温等。奇门遁甲在我国古代主要用于国事、兵法方面。当今多用于商业发展、市场经营、管理方面，收效非常显著。在商场如战场的全球化时代，奇门遁甲是中国企业家治胜的秘笈。

　　奇门遁甲的长处，在于剖析事理透彻，运用适中的方法统筹一切，无论在生活上还是在工作中，奇门遁甲都有很高的实用价值，可以指导我们正确把握机遇、趋利避害。

   二十四节气，是奇门遁甲的基础，诸葛长青将二十四节气的基本内容与有缘者分享。

   二十四节气是根据太阳在黄道（即地球绕太阳公转的轨道）上的位置来划分的。视太阳从春分点（黄经零度，此刻太阳垂直照射赤道）出发，每前进15度为一个节气；运行一周又回到春分点，为一回归年，合360度，因此分为24个节气。节气的日期在阳历中是相对固定的，如立春总是在阳历的2月3日至5日之间。但在农历中，节气的日期却不大好确定，再以立春为例，它最早可在上一年的农历12月15日，最晚可在正月15日。

　　一、二十四节气基本象征。

   诸葛长青：中国古代习惯以立春、立夏、立秋、立冬表示四季的开始。春分、夏至、秋分、冬至则处于各季的中间。

   从二十四节气的命名可以看出，节气的划分充分考虑了季节、气候、物候等自然现象的变化。其中，立春、立夏、立秋、立冬是用来反映季节的，是一年四个季节的开始将一年划分为春、夏、秋、冬四个季节。

   春分、秋分、夏至、冬至是从天文角度来划分的，反映了太阳高度变化的转折点。由于中国地域辽阔，具有非常明显的季风性和大陆性气候，各地天气气候差异巨大，因此不同地区的四季变化也有很大差异。

　　小暑、大暑、处暑、小寒、大寒等五个节气反映气温的变化，用来表示一年中不同时期寒热程度；

   雨水、谷雨、小雪、大雪四个节气反映了降水现象，表明降雨、降雪的时间和强度；

   白露、寒露、霜降三个节气表面上反映的是水汽凝结、凝华现象，但实质上反映出了气温逐渐下降的过程和程度：气温下降到一定程度，水汽出现凝露现象；气温继续下降，不仅凝露增多，而且越来越凉；当温度降至摄氏零度以下，水汽凝华为霜。

　　小满、芒种则反映有关作物的成熟和收成情况；

   惊蛰、清明反映的是自然物候现象，尤其是惊蛰，它用天上初雷和地下蛰虫的复苏，来预示春天的回归

　　二、二十四节气概念含义

    立春、立夏、立秋、立冬——亦合称“四立”，分别表示四季的开始。“立”即开始的意思。公历上一般在每年的2月4日、5月5日、8月7日和11月7日前后。 “四立”表示的是天文季节的开始，从气候上说，一般还在上一季节，如立春黄河流域仍在隆冬。

　　夏至、冬至——合称“二至”，表示天文上夏天、冬天的极致。“至”意为极、最。夏至日、冬至日一般在每年公历的6月21日和12月22日。夏至雨连连，冬至雪纷纷。　　

   春分、秋分——合称“二分”，表示昼夜长短相等。“分”即平分的意思。这两个节气一般在每年公历的3月20日和9月23日左右。　　

   雨水——表示降水开始，雨量逐步增多。公历每年的2月18日前后为雨水。　　

   惊蛰——春雷乍动，惊醒了蛰伏在土壤中冬眠的动物。这时气温回升较快，渐有春雷萌动。每年公历的3月5日左右为惊蛰。　　

   清明——含有天气晴朗、空气清新明洁、逐渐转暖、草木繁茂之意。另有清淡明智之意。公历每年大约4月5日为清明。　　

   谷雨——雨水增多，大大有利谷类作物的生长。公历每年4月20日前后为谷雨。　　

   小满——其含义是夏熟作物的籽粒开始灌浆饱满，但还未成熟，只是小满，还未大满。大约每年公历5月21日这天为小满。　　

   芒种——麦类等有芒作物成熟，夏种开始。每年的6月5日左右为芒种。芒种火烧天　　

   小暑、大暑、处暑——暑是炎热的意思。小暑还未达最热，大暑才是最热时节，处暑是暑天即将结束的日子。它们分别处在每年公历的7月7日、7月23日和8月23日左右。　　

   白露——气温开始下降，天气转凉，早晨草木上有了露水。每年公历的9月7日前后是白露。　　

   寒露——气温更低，空气已结露水，渐有寒意。这一天一般在每年的10月8日。　　

   霜降——天气渐冷，开始有霜。霜降一般是在每年公历的10月23日。　　  小雪、大雪——开始降雪，小和大表示降雪的程度。小雪在每年公历11月22日，大雪则在12月7日左右。　　

   小寒、大寒——天气进一步变冷，小寒还未达最冷，大寒为一年中最冷的时候。公历1月5日和该月的20日左右为小、大寒。

　　二十四节气反映了太阳的周年视运动，所以节气在现行的公历中日期基本固定，上半年在6日、21日，下半年在8日、23日，前后不差1～2天。

  三、快速记忆二十四节气（诸葛长青：感谢圣贤创造的这首记忆歌）

  春雨惊春清谷天，夏满芒夏暑相连。

  秋处露秋寒霜降，冬雪雪冬小大寒。

  每月两节不变更，最多相差一两天。

  上半年来六廿一，下半年是八廿三。

  诸葛长青备注：

  1、“春雨惊春清谷天”等，说的是二四节气，一一对应就会找出来。

  2、“每月两节不变更，最多相差一两天。上半年来六廿一，下半年是八廿三”，意思是：每个节气15天，每个月正好两个节气。是上半年的节和气的日期分别是6号和21号，下半年的节和气的日期分别是8号和23号，最多相差一两天，阳历的月初是节月末是气,立春是节雨水是气......如2012年的清明节是4月4号与6号比就差两天，2012年的谷雨是4月20日，比21差1天。 

  诸葛长青：中国智慧博大精深，令人叹服。今天的我们仰望星空、回顾历史，不由得感恩各位祖辈圣贤，他们的智慧，令我们敬佩不已。
