地支合化六气理论构建的内涵新探

New probe on theory construction of the earthly branches transforming into six climatic factors

地支合化六气是运气理论基本内容,但对该理论构建的阐释仍有矛盾。文章探讨了该理论构建所涉及的3个关键问题,即三阴三阳的排序,三阴三阳与六气的对应关系,三阴三阳与干支的对应关系。认为三阴三阳反映的是阴阳之气的升降状态,这是三阴三阳排序的内在依据。基于这种排序,运气理论用三阴三阳作为文字符号来标识六气的气机升降状态,并以此阐释地支两两相合的历法依据。解读地支合化六气理论构建的内涵,有助于探讨运气理论形成过程中主要的、本质的、必然的因素,以深化该理论内涵,探索理论本真,是经典理论研究的必由之路。

The earthly branches transforming into six climatic factors is an important part of theory of five circuits and six qi,the interpretation on it is contradictory at present.This paper discusses three key issues involved in the construction of this theory:The ranking of three yin and three yang,the corresponding relationship between yin and yang and six climatic factors,the corresponding relationship between yin and yang and earthly branches.Based on this sort,this paper holds that the three yin and three yang reflect the rising and falling state of qi,takes yin and yang as a character symbol to identify the state of six qi,and explains its calendar basis.Understanding the connotation of the theory construction of the earthly branches transforming into six climatic factors helps to explore the main,essential and inevitable factors in the formation of theory of five circuits and six qi,for deeping the theory connotation,exploring the theory truth,which is the only road for studying the classic theories.
