How to understand that The Book of Changes embodies the wisdom of China people?

The Book of Changes, also known as the Book of Changes or the Book of Changes, is the source of natural philosophy and ethical practice in China's traditional ideology and culture, and the oldest primitive divination in China, which has had a great influence on China culture.

The Book of Changes is one of the four books and five classics of Confucianism. According to literature records, it is said that when Qin Shihuang burned books to bury Confucianism, Li Si survived because he included Zhouyi in the book of medical divination. Later, people in all previous dynasties studied Zhouyi, including Fang Jing and Zheng Xuan in Han Dynasty, Wang Bi in Wei and Jin Dynasties, Lu Deming, Li Dingzuo and Kong in Tang Dynasty, Shao Yong, Cheng Yi and Zhu in Song Dynasty. Eight diagrams and five elements are different. "The Book of Changes represents the wisdom of China people."-German philosopher Hegel.

"The ancients in China said,' One yin and one yang is the Tao'. You can't just have yin without yang, or only have yang without yin. This is an ancient two-point theory. " -"Selected Works of Mao Zedong" Volume 5, page 320th)

China has a long history and profound culture. The voluminous historical classics not only show us magnificent historical pictures, but also build a mysterious palace for us. When it comes to China culture, people naturally think of Confucianism represented by the Four Books and Five Classics. Taoist thought represented by Tao Te Ching; Traditional Chinese medicine system represented by Huangdi Neijing. The first classic of the Four Books and Five Classics is the Book of Changes, and 88 sentences of Tao Te Ching are all from the Book of Changes. Huangdi Neijing is also based on Yin and Yang five lines of gossip. It can be seen that the Book of Changes is the general source of China culture.

The Book of Changes ranks first in the compilation of Yongle Dadian and Sikuquanshu, which shows the importance attached to the Book of Changes. The ancients once said, "If you don't learn Yi, you won't get married" and "If you don't learn Yi, you won't be a good doctor". That is to say, if you don't know the Book of Changes, you can't be a good Chinese doctor, you can't go to the hospital to treat the royal family, and you can't be a talent. So what is the Book of Changes? Fortune tellers say it's a book of divination, thinkers say it's a book of philosophy, meteorologists say it's a book of astronomy and meteorology, agronomists say it's a book of agriculture, historians say it's a book of historical philosophy, writers say it's a humanistic document with beautiful words and rigorous structure, and so on. Some people think that the Book of Changes "is a symbolic logic summarized by our ancestors on the basis of practice, which represents the mathematical information about the life of the universe and personal life, and is a great law describing the movement of the sun and the moon in the universe of human solar system".

According to statistics, among the existing ancient books in China, Yi and Du Shi have the largest number of books. This seems to imply that in that feudal society where kingship is centralized and Confucianism is the only one, people's pursuit of emotion (the country of poetry) and exploration of philosophy (the country of philosophy) are unified in the two frameworks of historical and cultural tradition and cultural psychology, and people's discussion on the relationship between heaven and man and the laws of the universe is accumulated here. For thousands of years, I have told many representatives (such as Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Zhuangzi; Stone, Meng,; Fang Jing; Yu, Zheng and Xun; Wang bi; Shao; Zhu and Cheng; Li, Yang, etc. ) along the development of the thought of two courses and six classics, China's philosophy, China's medicine, China's aesthetics, China's military science, China's architecture, China's jurisprudence, China's mathematical science and China's ethics were established under the framework of Yi, thus forming a unique and vibrant Chinese culture! China's philosophy, history, literature, art, ethics, religion, astronomy, history, mathematics, medicine, Qigong and so on are dazzling in the world cultural history!

Today, Lin Huajia is delighted to see that China's cultural system, represented by the Book of Changes, has not only profoundly influenced neighboring countries such as South Korea, Japan and Vietnam, but also spread all over Europe and America! 1626, Niclas Trigault, a French missionary and scholar of Yi-ology, published his Latin translation of Zhouyi in Hangzhou, which started the 380-year study of Western Yi-ology. Western studies on Yi-ology mainly focus on four aspects: translation, mathematics, divination and philosophy. At present, at least 80 countries have established organizations and institutions to study the Book of Changes and translated it into dozens of languages. South Korea's national flag, also known as Tai Chi flag, has two Tai Chi tools in the middle and four hexagrams (Gan Li Kun Kan) in the gossip next to it. Maybe you don't know it, but coincidentally, the famous physicist Bohr also used Taiji diagram as the badge of Copenhagen school engaged in micro-physics research. Mathematics Yi-ology is widely used in biology, electronics, psychology, computer science, geology, management, astronomy, physics, magic square combination mathematics and other disciplines. Our country used to be secretive about divination, which was dismissed as superstition (considering the influence of various situations, my research on Yi-ology belongs to underground behavior), but Lin Huajia wants to tell you that the western Yi-ology has great interest in divination research (I don't deny that 80% of my research interest lies in this). Jung, a famous Swiss psychologist, is good at this. In the preface to the English version of Zhouyi, he said: "Every time I divine, I find the psychological phenomenon of the Book of Changes, and I can always achieve my goal, although I can't explain and answer all the questions." As a master, he also admitted that "it is not entirely correct." Today, we have countless fortune-telling software on the Internet. In fact, the west has already had it, and they have made a fortune.

Western culture advocates pluralism. Lin Huajia regrets to see that the world's first archaeological museum with the theme of the Book of Changes was not established in China, but in the United States. It contains seven thousand years ago hexagrams, such as Tai hexagrams, Fu hexagrams and Dama hexagrams, as well as sacrificial vessels that can emit six ancient true hexagrams. Western Yi-ology has surpassed us in many aspects. It was not until 1987 (presided over by Professor Liu Dajun of Shandong University) that we had the first international seminar on Zhouyi. China students should ask foreigners for the most basic knowledge of easy learning; Domestic college students don't know what the five-element map is, and when it comes to Zhouyi, they think it is a fortune-telling book or a Confucian work. Carrying forward Yi-ology has a long way to go!

Of course, in modern times with advanced science and technology, we should correctly understand fortune-telling (the culture of art and numbers), and we must never attribute all the Yi studies to this. From the philosophical point of view, in essence, the philosophy of "change" means "change", "change is poor, change is common, and the general principle is long" is a philosophy of survival and development through change; Zhouyi includes thinking in images, symbolic thinking, logical thinking, probabilistic thinking, scientific thinking, holistic thinking and model thinking. Using the wisdom of Yi-ology, we can use different ways of thinking according to different situations and improve our ability to analyze and solve problems. At the same time, Zhouyi contains scientific ideas such as dichotomy of yin and yang, permutation and combination, and moment correction. The digital idea of mutual change between numbers and images is the first, and a series of scientific ideas such as symbol system, probability system and chaotic system are budding. Yi-ology can greatly promote the development of science, solve problems that modern science cannot solve or provide ideas. Today, the development of Yi-ology tends to be deep-seated and multidisciplinary, such as easy science, easy life, easy humanities, easy architecture, easy Chinese medicine, easy mathematics, easy symbols, easy logic, easy antiquity, easy planning, easy psychology and so on. The study of Yi-ology is promising!
