On interpretations of the remarks getting friends in the south-west, and losing friends in the north-east attached to the hexagram of Kun and certain issues related

The connotations of the remarks of getting friends in the south-west, and losing friends in the north-east affiliated to the hexagram of Kun is not correlated to the revolving of the Dao of heaven in a year. So, the directions and positions mentioned in the hexagram of Kun do not compty with the revolving orders for the things growth described both in Shuo Gua Zhuan (explaining the trigrams) and yi zhi yi (connotations of the Yi) Copied on silk. What the Shuo Gua Zhuan and Yi zhi Yi elaborate do not go beyond the correspondence between the eight trigrams and four seasons, manifesting that neither of them conceives the particular connctations of the notion of Gua qi raised by the Han scholars. Therefore, the classical and historical docoments do not regard what the Shuo Gua Zhuan described as 揺ight trigrams?Gua qi, for the saying of eight trigrams Gua qi has no basis. Studies of the history of ideology and culture ought to be departed from the view of historical development.
