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。

嗯，不过是作为课外材料来讲的。当时我对这部古籍也挺感兴趣的，《易经》其实是一套解释宇宙万物的理论系统，刘教授你说对吗？

Yeah, but it was only discussed as material for extra-curricular studies. At the time, I was already pretty interested in these ancient texts. The I Ching is actually a theoretical system for analyzing the universe and everything in it. Is that right, Professor Liu?

的确如此，其实人类科学越发达，你越会发现《易经》的正确性。

别急，等你对太极、两仪、四象、八卦等等这些含义有了充分理解后，自然会用《易经》的语言来解释每一个卦义。

Don't worry. Wait until after you fully understand the implications of Tai Chi, the two polarities, the idea of four components and the eight trigrams. Then, you will naturally be able to use the language of the I Ching to analyze the meaning of each diagram.
