In the past two years, many overseas Chinese friends have a common feeling:The world has changed.<\/strong>It's not changing slowly, but it feels like the accelerator button has been pressed all of a sudden - the sudden explosion of AI, the revival of traditional culture, the rise of the virtual economy, and the voices of women getting louder and louder... It seems like there is an invisible \"fire\" driving everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is actually a time system that the ancient Chinese have observed for more than two thousand years\u2014\u2014\"Three Yuans and Nine Lucks\"<\/strong>the rules described. In 2024, we officially enter a new twenty-year cycle:Nine Purple Fire Luck (2024-2043)<\/strong>\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n In today's article, we will not talk about mysteries or predictions, but will only help you understand this \"time map\" left to us by the ancients from the perspective of traditional culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"Three Yuan and Nine Lucks\" is a time division system in the ancient Chinese astronomical calendar, which can be traced back toHuangdi period<\/strong>. Through long-term observation of the motion patterns of Jupiter and Saturn, the ancients discovered an interesting periodic phenomenon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ancients defined every 20 years as a \"luck\", and three 20 years (a total of 60 years) as a \"yuan\". The upper, middle and lower three yuans total 180 years, which exactly constitutes a complete \"nine luck\" cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This 180-year cycle constitutes a complete \"breath of civilization\" - each 20-year \"luck\" has its own charm, color and characteristics. Just like a year has four seasons, 180 years also has its \"spring, summer, autumn and winter\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking back on the last luck\u2014\u2014Babaigen soil luck (2004-2023)<\/strong>, you will find that the ancients\u2019 observations are surprisingly accurate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n But now, the earth luck is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The core of Jiuzili Fire Luck is\"Li\" hexagram matches \"Fire\" element<\/strong>. In traditional culture, Li Gua represents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The theme of the times in the past twenty years has actually been very clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Li Zhongxu<\/strong>\u2014\u2014The characteristics of Li Gua are solid outside and void in the middle. You see, AI, the Metaverse, VR\/AR, brain-computer interface... are all developing in the direction of \"virtual\". In the past two decades, the virtual world will expand at an unprecedented rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Away for the eyes, for the sake of clarity<\/strong>\u2014\u2014Things that are visible to the eyes, beautiful things, and culturally rich things will be more valuable than ever. Brand design, cultural IP, aesthetic economy... these \"virtual\" things will become core competitiveness. The so-called \"appearance is justice\" is actually just a superficial expression of Li Huo's luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Li is a middle daughter<\/strong>\u2014\u2014Mature women aged 35-55 will be the most important force in this era. It is not the youthfulness of a girl, but the wisdom, aesthetics and resilience of a mature woman. We will see more and more female leaders and female entrepreneurs taking center stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n away from civilization<\/strong>\u2014\u2014Traditional culture will usher in a large-scale revival during the Li Huo fortune. Not retro;Integrated innovation of tradition and modernity<\/strong>. You see, the return of Hanfu, Chinese fashion, Chinese culture, and traditional festivals in recent years is just the prologue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Chinese living overseas, Lihuo Luck has special meaning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Li Huo Yun is the \"light of civilization\", what it awakens iscultural belonging<\/strong>. The second and third generations of Chinese who grew up in a multicultural environment will have an increasingly strong desire to explore their own cultural roots. Ancestor worship, festivals, etiquette, and family inheritance\u2014these are no longer the \"matters\" of the older generation, but are things that young people actively want to find back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other side of \"living away from the void\" is that after material abundance, people will turn inward. In the era of rapid development of AI and virtual technology,People need the connection of temperature, the comfort of ritual, and the anchor of culture.<\/strong>. This is why traditional folk etiquette not only has not died out overseas, but has become more and more valued overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Twenty years away from fire luck, it will beChinese traditional cultural aesthetics goes global<\/strong>twenty years. It is not forcibly exported, but \"discovered\" naturally - just like the world discovered Japanese aesthetics in the past twenty years, in the next twenty years, the world will re-understand Chinese traditional aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As overseas Chinese, instead of worrying about the changes of the times, it is better to understand it and embrace it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n1.
