Is the Book of Changes Taoist or Confucian? Is it Taoism?

1, Yijing is both Taoism and Confucianism.

2. The Book of Changes is an important Taoist classic, bearing the historical mission and task, although it is rich in literary talent and philosophy. Legend has it that it was written by Zhou people, and its content includes two parts: biography and biography. Classics are mainly composed of 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams, each of which has its own interpretation (hexagrams) for divination.

3. Biography contains seven kinds of words to explain hexagrams, with a total of 10, which are collectively called "Ten Wings", and it is said that it was written by Confucius. However, it is generally considered to be a Confucian work in the Warring States or Qin and Han Dynasties, and it was not written by one person.

4. Confucianism regards Zhouyi, Shangshu, Shijing, Book of Rites and Chunqiu as five classics. "Jing" is a title added by later generations to commemorate these books. The Five Classics were originally called "Shu", "Li" and "Chunqiu".

5. According to the article of Harmony unearthed in Guodian Bamboo Slips, it is proved that "Six Classics, Poems, Books, Rites, Music, Yi, Spring and Autumn are not isolated, but a relatively common phenomenon".

6. In the pre-Qin period, Confucius was old and changeable, which led to the appearance of the "Six Classics" sequence of "using the Book of Changes first". The Book of Changes is the first of the group classics (Book of Changes, Poetry, Books, Rites, Music, Spring and Autumn). It enjoys the highest status in China's cultural history, and Qin Shihuang did not dare to damage it when he burned books.
