Zheng Xuan’s six days said that his life is the focus of students’ attention, and the reason is that “heaven” is the main model in Chinese philosophy and is in modern timesLong-term careIn learning, the understanding of heaven is directly related to the most important gift setting in the emperor’s sacrifice to heaven. In fact, the “Six Heavens” is the epic integration of the descendants of Zheng Xuanxiu Tian. Wang Xu once said in his criticism of Zheng Xuan: “If the sky is single, why should there be six?” [1] Kong Guangda even directly summarized: “Zheng thought that heaven has six days.” [2] It can be said that using “six days” to refer to Zheng Xuan’s understanding of heaven is indeed a convenient way, because in Zheng Xuan’s notes, there are both Haotian God and Five Heaven Emperors. However, the relationship between Haotian God and the Five Heavenly Emperors needs to be carefully analyzed because it is the key to understanding the meaning of Zheng Xuantian, and the debates of the former scholars also spread this point. So can Haotian God and the Five Heaven Emperor be all the knowledge about heaven? The author believes that it is not as good as it is. In addition to the God of Haotian and the Five Heavenly Emperor, the five elements of the Yinyang were also introduced into the understanding of the heavens by Zheng Xuanna. This article is a picture to analyze how Zheng Xuan combined the five elements of the Yin and Yang with the Five Heavenly Emperor and Haotian God to build a structure of a single and multi-layer heaven.
In “Greetings”, a piece of “Monthly Order” is often considered a book of Yin Yang, and is written by the Yin Yang family. This is important because the “Monthly Order” article uses Yin Yang and the Five Elements of Yin Yang as its structure. As a public thinking resource in the pre-Qin period, the five elements thinking of the Yinyang is determined by the Yinyang family, so there is still a lot of room for discussion on the author’s questions. However, it is certain that the “Monthly Order” is indeed the forty-nine chapters of “Travels” in “The Five Elements of the Yin and Yang” in “The Legend of the Conclusion”. Therefore, this article is important to discuss Zheng Xuan’s understanding of heaven from Zheng Xuan’s “Monthly Notes”.

1. The Yin and Five Elements in “Monthly Order”
Before entering the discussion on “Monthly Order”, let’s first look at the specific meaning of the Five Elements of the Yin and Yang in the “Monthly Order”.
The Monthly Order is based on the four-hour and ten-day spring and the five elements are the same, and it presents a description of phenology, government orders, gifts and disasters. Among them, yin and yang are used to explain the changes in the four-hour trend. “Monthly Order” says that there are several aspects of yin and yang:
(February) Winter order is implemented, but the yang is not strong, and the ox is not familiar with it, and the common people are often robbed (“Times Trading” is called “the common people are often jealous”). [3]
(Jichun) is the moon, the vitality is prosperous and the yang is discharged. The sentence (“生” is written as “生”) is released, and the cute ones can reach the end, but they cannot achieve the end. [4]
(Midsummer) is the month (The Secretariat of Time and Time does not have the three words “This month”), the day is coming, and the sun and the sun is in conflict, and the death is alive. [5]
Monday of autumn, the winter order was carried out, and the army came. After the Spring Order was implemented, the country was drought, the sun was revived, and the grains were ineffective. [6]
(Mid-Autumn Festival) is the moon. At night, the thunder begins to collect the sound (“Lei” is written as “Lei” and “Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and Time and [7]
(Mid-winter) is the month, the day is short, and the sun is in conflict, and the students are celebrating (The “Temporary” does not have the three words “Studying”). [8]
The above “Monthly Order” says that yin and yang are mentioned. The specific meaning is: when the spring is when the yang is released, the midsummer summer solstice is when the yang rises and the yang begins to compete with the yang. After the autumnal equinox, the yang begins to compete with the yang, and on the winter solstice, the yang begins to compete with the yang again. The news changes in Yinyang promote the four-hour turnover, so personnel should help the changes in Yinyang from then on. If personnel changes, the news in Yinyang will be adjusted accordingly. If the winter order is implemented in February, the yang that should be promoted will be compressed to the sun. If the winter order is implemented in the morning of autumn, the yang will be overwhelmed and will cause disaster. If the spring order is implemented in the morning of autumn, the yang that should have disappeared will also prevent the yang from developing. In summary, although the relationship between the four hours and the yin and yin is not clearly stated, the “Monthly Order” uses the two atmospheres of the yin and yang to explain the phenomena and flows that appear in the four hours and the first chapter of the firstThe reason for the transition is clear.
The five elements appear in the “Monthly Order” method. For example, the “Moon of Spring” says:
The beginning of spring three days first, and the emperor of the history said: “One day the beginning of spring is the great virtue in the wood.” The emperor was ruthless. On the day of the beginning of spring, the emperor congratulated the three dukes, nine ministers, marquises and major servants to welcome the spring in the eastern suburbs. [The cat seemed a little dissatisfied at the handover and mourned for two sounds. 9]
The Beginning of SpringBaohuang.comThree days before, the history told the emperor the specific time of the Beginning of Spring and the great virtues at this time, so the emperor began to swear. On the day of the Beginning of Spring, the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers and the Queens of the Hours went to the East Suburbs to welcome the Spring Festival. Similarly, the moon in the summer of the year said that the emperor said, “Great virtue is in fire”, the moon in the autumn of the year said, “Great virtue is in metal”, and the moon in the winter said, “Great virtue is in water”. The meaning of this “great virtue” is: great virtue is in wood, so it is spring, great virtue is in fire, so it is summer, great virtue is in metal, so it is
