Birth chart - Sentenzu (English spelling) Xiān tiān tú

Japanese: 先天図 - せんてんず（英語表記）Xiān tiān tú

A diagram created by Shao Yong (Kang Jie), a thinker of the Northern Song Dynasty in China. He believed that there must have been an original I Ching created by Fuxi before the I Ching was compiled into its current form, and he called it the "Innate I Ching" to distinguish it from the later "Acquired I Ching," and attempted to reconstruct it using several diagrams. His unique I Ching was adopted by Zhu Xi (the son), but was criticized by Huang Zongxi and Hu Wei of the Qing Dynasty. Figure 2 shows a typical example of an innate I Ching, and the orientation of the hexagrams is different from that of the so-called Acquired I Ching (Figure 1), which is based on the "Divination of the Hexagrams" of the I Ching.

中国，北宋の思想家邵雍（しようよう）(康節)が作成した図表。彼は《易経》が今の形にまとめられる以前に，伏羲（ふくぎ）が作った原初的な易があったはずだと考え，それを〈先天易〉と呼んでのちの〈後天易〉と区別し，それをいくつかの図によって復元しようとした。彼のこの特異な易学は朱熹（しゆき）(子)に摂取されたが，清の黄宗羲や胡渭などから批判を浴びた。図2に掲げたのは先天図の代表的なもので，《易》説卦（せつか）伝にもとづく，いわゆる後天図(図1)とは卦の方位が異なっている。
