Sample Sentences

我不赞同你的看法。这些不一定是胡编乱造。就像西方的占星术的发展一样，中国的易经和八卦也是一门占卜的学问。起名，搬迁，红白喜事都是有凶吉的讲究的。当然不排除有些人并没有真正研究过周易，却混水摸鱼，到处骗人。
wǒ bù zàntóng nǐ de kànfǎ 。zhèxiē bùyīdìng shì húbiānluànzào 。jiùxiàng xīfāng de zhānxīngshù de fāzhǎn yīyàng ，Zhōngguó de Yìjīng hé bāguà yě shì yī mén zhānbǔ de xuéwèn 。qǐmíng ，bānqiān ，hóngbái xǐshì dōu shì yǒu xiōngjí de jiǎngjiu de 。dāngrán bù páichú yǒuxiē rén bìng méiyǒu zhēnzhèng yānjiū guo Zhōuyì ，què húnshuǐmōyú ，dàochù piànrén 。
I don't agree with your opinion. These things are not necessarily just pointless nonsense. It's like the development of astrology in the West. China's I Ching and hexagrams are parts of divination. Giving children meaningful names, moving, weddings and funerals: there is a lot of research that goes into these things. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that some people who haven't really mastered the I Ching just make wild guesses, coming up with stories and scamming people.

《 易经》最初有八卦，这个“卦”的意思就是挂起来的“挂”，也就是说你应该把它挂起来，然后经常看，就能参透其中的道理。这个和占卜是不一样的。你知道的占卜算命等说法，其实是后人将《易经》理论延伸后的产物。
Yìjīng 》zuìchū yǒu bāguà ，zhè ge “guà ”de yìsi jiùshì guà qǐlái de “guà ”，yějiùshìshuō nǐ yīnggāi bǎ tā guà qǐlái ，ránhòu jīngcháng kàn ，jiù néng cāntòu qízhōng de dàolǐ 。zhè ge hé zhānbǔ shì bù yīyàng de 。nǐ zhīdào de zhānbǔ suànmìng děng shuōfǎ ，qíshí shì hòurén jiāng Yìjīng 》lǐlùn yánshēn hòu de chǎnwù 。
Initially, the I Ching had the 8 trigrams. The meaning of this 'trigram' comes from the word, 'gua', or to hang up; meaning that you should first hang it up, examine it often, and then you will be able to fully understand the rationality within it. This is different than the practice of divination. The practice of divination and fortune telling that you know, are actually the products of later generations expanding on the theories of the I Ching.

如果说把易经和占卜算命混为一谈的话，其实是歪曲了伏羲他老人家的本意啊。

To confuse the I Ching with divination and fortune telling, is actually a distortion of the founder, Fuxi's original meaning.
