先天八卦方位 Pre-Natal 8-Trigrams Direction

說卦傳曰天地定位山澤通氣雷風相薄水火不相射八卦相錯

邵子曰乾南坤北離東坎西兌居東南震居東北巽居西南艮居西北所謂先天之學也

Shuogua Zhuan ctext states:

  • ☰HEAVEN and ☷EARTH received their determinate positions
  • ☶MOUNTAIN and ☱LAKE interchanged their influences
  • ☳THUNDER and ☴WIND excited each other the more
  • ☵WATER and ☲FIRE did each other no harm
  • (Then) among these eight symbols there was a mutual communication. The numbering of the past is a natural process. The knowledge of the coming is anticipation. Therefore in the Yi (易) we have (both) anticipation (and the natural process).
