They arrived at this relatively large teahouse in the town. "Let's take a rest here."

Walking past the screen, I saw calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall inside, "The great road leads to simplicity." Next to it are green plants, bonsai, and porcelain.

On the table in the middle of the room, there is a Bagua diagram.

They sat down at the table next to the Bagua diagram.

Fuxi founded the Xiantian Bagua, using the combination of Yin Yao and Yang Yao to explain the eight most primitive substances in heaven and earth. During the Han Dynasty, Taoists created countless magic numbers based on the Yin and Yang, Bagua, and Five Elements in the Book of Changes.

Qian hexagram is masculine, strong and self-improvement. The six lines of the stem are all filled with drops, so the fertilizer garden is complete, pavilion-like, successful and important. But it is too rigid and easy to break, and it contains the image of insecurity.

The Kun hexagram is feminine and gentle, a true virtuous being; it carries all things thickly, moves endlessly and advances without boundaries, and has the image of smoothness. The six lines of Kun and Kun are all empty, with broken images, light and dark, trapping, and stillness. It is measured that people who travel cannot move, and travelers cannot return.

The Zhen hexagram is overlapping with thunder, moving in and out of each other. Shaking, screaming in shock, alert, thinking twice, restless. Make great achievements and become famous. Forest, woods.

Xun hexagram "soft and soft, the wind in front is coming and the wind is coming back, following each other endlessly, soft like the spring breeze, going with the wind." Xun is compliant, obedient, entering and descending. Active, unable to sit still, unable to calm down, the test will be more auspicious than harmonious.

The hexagram Kan means two hurdles overlap each other, the yang sinks into the yin, which means a dangerous trap. The dangers are getting more dangerous, there are many dangers and difficulties, dangers in the sky and dangers in the earth. Dangerous suns and lost paths, unfathomable abyss, crooked waterways, and twists and turns in life. Extremely smart, "sincere and effective". According to Bihe hexagram, things can go smoothly, but there are twists and turns.

The hexagram Li has two layers, Li and Ming, which are bright and brilliant, with fire and inflammation on top, which means they are attached and united. Disperse, leave, separate. All the eight pure hexagrams rely on and help each other, but they are of the same nature and repel each other. Although they are relatively harmonious, there are internal conflicts. Things can be accomplished, but there are twists and turns.

There are mountains outside Gen Gua Mountain, and the mountains are connected. Immovement, stillness, stop, restraint, composure, stability, stop what one wants, burden. Two tables and two beds are connected, with upper and lower bunks, on the bed and under the table. If you go out, you cannot travel, and pedestrians will not return.

The joy of Dui Gua can be seen. Happiness shines upon people. They are eloquent, good at talking, happy, swamps, caves, abandoned caves, ruined houses, potholes, and crisscrossing ditches. Test things as you wish and please your heart.

It symbolizes the eight natural phenomena of heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain and lake to speculate on changes in nature and society. It is believed that the interaction of Yin and Yang forces is the source of all things.

Bagua is also used to analyze all things in the world and speculate on trends. People's behavior and happenings are difficult to analyze using numbers, but some can be explained using gossip.

In terms of cosmology: Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, earthquake is the thunder, Xun is the wind, Kan is the water, Li is the fire, Gen is the mountain, and Dui is the river. From the perspective of family: godfather, Kun mother, Zhen eldest son, Xun eldest daughter, Kanzhong man, Lizhong daughter, Gen young boy, Dui young girl. In terms of animals: Qian is a horse, Kun is an ox, Zhen is a dragon, Xun is a chicken, Kan is a hog, Li is a pheasant, Gen is a dog, and Dui is a sheep. In the view of the body: Qian is the head, Kun is the abdomen, Zhen is the foot, Xun is the stock, Kan is the ear, Li is the eye, Gen is the hand, and Dui is the mouth. From the view of movement: Qian Jian Ye, Kun Shun Ye, Vibration Ye, Xun Rui Ye, Keng Zhen Ye, Li Li Ye, Gen Zhi Ye, Dui Shuo Ye.

"Then can you deduce the behavior of the people in the town?"

"No, we are not studying this. However, I heard that in the Book of Changes, life is divided into six stages."

The first stage: Do not use Hidden Dragon. When the time is not ripe or your ability is insufficient, you must save your own strength. The second stage: seeing the dragon in the field. Only through hidden savings can you show your talents. The third stage: work all day long. At this moment, you must be more vigilant. Never be complacent and complacent because of your little achievements. You should always review and reflect on your words and deeds. The fourth stage: or leaping into the abyss. Seize the opportunity and push your life and career to the highest level through hard work and struggle. The fifth stage: The flying dragon is in the sky. The pinnacle of your career is about to come. The pointer of your life is at a good time to make great achievements, and you are ready to soar into the sky. The sixth stage: The dragon has regrets. People need to know how to advance and retreat, so that they can protect themselves, protect their wealth, and allow their careers to continue to develop.

"The derivation of hexagrams is somewhat similar to the derivation of logic and mathematics. But there are many subjective elements."

"You see, behavior cannot be predicted by mathematics. It can only be modeled by people. The hexagram is a humanistic model."

"Have you researched it?"

"Look at the Book of Changes. I know the general meaning."

"Is this a kind of Kung Fu that can win without any tricks? If some people have studied the Book of Changes, will they also be able to deduce the logic?"

"No move" does not mean that there are no moves, but that all the moves in the world have been combined. "No move" is just what you see on the outside. In fact, there are thousands of moves inside. The heart is the move. There is no sword in the hand, but it has already been Thousands of weapons and tricks are hidden in the heart.

The Chinese saying in this teahouse is, "The great truth leads to simplicity." It's what Lao Tzu said. How simple is it? It's as simple as "nothing", and "nothing" doesn't mean nothing, but the sum of everything.

"If you study mathematics, don't study these first. Although it is said that there is a way to win without a move, but there are moves that you still need to learn. You must first learn one move at a time and study it seriously, and then you can master it, use it freely and with ease. You cannot skip the objective and go directly to the subjective.”

"That means we must lay a solid foundation and not build castles in the air."

"Some social phenomena can be modeled using mathematics. For example, using ant colony algorithm, genetic algorithm, etc."

"But I disagree. I certainly recognize the importance of mathematics. But when it comes to describing the characteristics of humanities problems, it is very difficult."

"That's a different subject."

"Well said. Several people went from talking about mathematics to talking about life. It's really wonderful."

In fact, traditional mathematics has a great relationship with Bagua calculus.

"Nine Chapters of Arithmetic Preface" says: "In the past, I started to draw the Eight Diagrams in the Pahu clan, in order to understand the virtues of the gods, to imitate the emotions of all things, and to make the number of ninety-nine to combine the changes of the six lines. It was transformed into the spirit of the Yellow Emperor. From it, lead and extend it, so we established the Li Ji, Xie Lv, and used Ji Daoyuan, and then the subtle energy of the two rituals and four images can be obtained and effective. It is recorded that the official head is used as the number, but the details are not known. It is based on Zhou Gong's etiquette system. If there are nine numbers, nine numbers and the like, then "Nine Chapters" is it." Xu Guangqi of the Ming Dynasty, in the "Preface to the "Elements of Geometry"", called Western mathematics the "study of image numbers", "because of its image numbers" "The books are all written in Chinese", "The small ones analyze things and understand the principles; one end of the physics is different from the number of images".

Liu Mozhi wanted to see the photos, so she took out the colored photos and put them on the table.

It is difficult to analyze people’s behavior using gossip. However, judging from these eight places in the town, they are somewhat similar to Bagua. Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, Zhen is the thunder, Xun is the wind, Kan is the water, Li is the fire, Gen is the mountain, and Dui is the river.

"Is that a one-to-one correspondence?"

"Looking at these eight places, the corresponding order of the eight hexagrams should be high-rise buildings, bungalows, shops, woods, lakes, farmers with chimneys, mountain peaks, and rivers."

"Mountains, water, and wind are easy to find corresponding places. So what do sky, thunder, and fire correspond to?"

"That store is called Baiyun Store. And there are many electric energy meters densely arranged under the high-rise building. The farmer next to the mill has a chimney, does it correspond to a fire? The corresponding order of the eight hexagrams should be shop, bungalow, high-rise building , woods, lakes, farmers with chimneys, mountains, rivers.”

Finally, if you think about it, the order of the numbers should be shops, bungalows, high-rise buildings, woods, lakes, farmers with chimneys, mountains, and rivers.

They went to the conference room, tried the sequence of passwords, and the password box opened. Expose the USB communication interface.
