Tax And Power: A Study Of The Thought In "A Brief Biography Of Yixue Enlightenment

" Enlightenment on the Yi-ology " as a representative masterpiece of Yi-ology,occupies an important position in the history of Yi-ology.After studying the "Enlightenment on the Yi-ology ",Shui Yuquan found that Zhu Xi and Cai Yuanding had some defects in explaining the connection of pre-natal and postnatal imagenumerology learning,the situation of advance and retreat of Yin and Yang,and the origin of number in the great expansion method of divination.Therefore,Shui Yuquan are inspired by Shao Yong,Zhang Xingcheng,Cai Chen and He Shan’s teacher and friends,aimed at the problems existing in the " Enlightenment on the Yi-ology ",form the three aspects of research,including pre-natal and postnatal image-numerology learning,waning and waxing of yin and yang,and number in the great expansion method of divination,and wrote " The Biography of the Enlightenment on the Yiology " in order to enrich the " Enlightenment on the Yi-ology ".First of all," The Biography of the Enlightenment on the Yi-ology " penetration the pre-natal and postnatal image-numerology learning by ’ root of nine ’ mathematics.Shui Yuquan hold that " Enlightenment on the Yi-ology " is insufficient in the discussion of postnatal image-numerology learning,and also failed to understand prenatal and postnatal image-numerology learning.So he through the analysis of the origin,generation,orientation arrangement and the principle of the hexagrams of prenatal and postnatal image-numerology learning,he holds that pre-natal imagenumerology learning in terms of " treatment " and postnatal image-numerology learning in terms of " reversal ".From the perspective of Yao painting and Yao number,he looked that their Yao painting or Yao number sum were multiples of nine,and their mathematical principles are " root of nine ".Therefore,the proposition of "root of nine " mathematical theory not only supplements the content of acquired Yi,but also distinguishes and penetrates the successive Yi studies.Secondly," The Biography of the Enlightenment on the Yi-ology " by the doctrine of Qian and Kun circulation to solve the problem of waning and waxing of yin and yang.Shui Yuquan think that the " Enlightenment on the Yi-ology " does not fully explain the situation of Yin and Yang in the hexagram of Yi,for this reason,he made " odd and even diagram " to clarify the reason of Yang entering and Yin retreat of the Eight hexagrams,made " generating diagram " to explain the waning and waxing of yin and yang in the twelve dominated hexagrams,and made " upper and lower chapters of mutual transformation of biological hexagrams " to explain the Yin and Yang retreat of the four main hexagrams of Yi,Zhong Fu,Da Guo and Xiao Guo.Shui Yuquan through analysis the situation of waning and waxing of yin and yang in the Eight hexagrams,twelve dominated hexagrams and four main hexagrams,think that the change of the hexagrams was beginning and ended with Qian and Kun hexagrams,and then by the doctrine of Qian and Kun circulation reiterated the key role of the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun in the waning and waxing of yin and yang.Finally," The Biography of the Enlightenment on the Yi-ology " deepen the number in the great expansion method of divination by referring to the " harmony" and " change" of nine numbers.Shui Yuquan think Zhu and Cai’s view that the number in the great expansion method of divination of fifty derived from the number of " He Luo " is inaccurate,therefore,he analyzed the relationship between the number of heaven and earth and the number in the great expansion method of divination,the number of Hong Fan and the number in the great expansion method of divination.He thought that the number in the great expansion method of divination can be derived from the number of heaven and earth,or from the number of " Hong Fan ".He also put forward four methods of arrangement and combination of nine numbers based on the ideas of " Tian Zun-Di bi "," the five are in harmony with each other " and " manipulated by threes and fives to determine change ",so as to elucidate the number in the great expansion method of divination by philosophical study and deepen the theory of the number of Divination.To sum up,the Shui Yuquan ’ s " The Biography of the Enlightenment on the Yiology " draws on the Confucius,Yang Xiong,Yu Fan,Shao Yong,Zhang Xingcheng,Cai Chen and other Scholar’s opinions,from the ’ root of nine ’ mathematics,the doctrine of Qian and Kun circulation,the " harmony" and " change" of nine numbers,not only supplement and deepen the " Enlightenment on the Yi-ology ",but also promote the development of Shao and Cai Yi-ology and Song dynasty Yi-ology.
