The Basic Concepts of the Book of Changes

The word "Yi" in the Book of Changes means "changeable". The Book of Changes is a classic book about changes and predictions, aiming at revealing the true meaning and wisdom of life by observing and studying the changing laws of natural things. There are two basic concepts in the Book of Changes: Yin and Yang and Eight Diagrams.

yin and yang

Yin and Yang is one of the most basic concepts in the Book of Changes, representing two opposing and interdependent forces in nature. The interaction and balance of yin and yang is the basis of the growth and development of all things in nature. Yin and Yang have the following characteristics:

1. Interdependence: Yin and Yang are interdependent and mutually causal. Without yin, there is no yang, and without yang, there is no yin.

2. Mutual transformation: Yin and Yang constantly transform and interact. The change of yin and yang is eternal and constant.

3. Mutual restraint: Yin and Yang are mutually restrained and balanced. If yin and yang are unbalanced, it will lead to imbalance and disharmony in nature.
