The original words of Confucius praising the Book of Changes?

First, the original words of Confucius praising the Book of Changes

1, "Confucius liked the Book of Changes later, and the order was Xun, Xiang, Shuo Gua and Classical Chinese. The three works compiled by Reading Yi and Wei have their own characteristics. He said,' Leave me for a few years. If so, I will be gentle and easy.' "From Sima Qian's Historical Records of Confucius Family in the Western Han Dynasty.

In his later years, Confucius liked to read the Book of Changes, and he wrote Up and Down the Book of Changes, Up and Down Images, Up and Down Connection, Classical Chinese, Preface Gua, Shuo Gua, Miscellaneous Gua and so on. , collectively known as "Ten Wings", also known as "Yi Da Chuan". Confucius read the Book of Changes diligently, which led to the pimp being broken many times. He also said: "If you give me a few more years, then my understanding of Yi will be richer."

2, Confucius said: "Add me a few years old, 50 years old is easy to learn, and I can't be older." -The Analects of Confucius

Confucius said, "If you give me a few more years to start studying Zhouyi at the age of 50, then I can stop making big mistakes."

Second, the allusions of Bian Wei's Three Musts

Books in the Spring and Autumn Period mainly used bamboo as bamboo slips to write, ranging from a few crosses to more than eight or nine characters. A book needs a lot of bamboo slips, which are connected in sequence with strong ropes and the like, and then a book is the last one, which is very convenient to read.

Usually, those woven with silk thread are called "silk braiding", those woven with hemp rope are called "rope braiding" and those woven with cooked cowhide rope are called "Wei braiding", among which the cooked cowhide rope is the strongest. A book as heavy as Zhouyi is of course made up of many bamboo slips woven together with cooked cowhide ropes.

Confucius spent a lot of energy reading the Book of Changes again and again, adding a lot of notes. I don't know how many times he opened it. It is generally believed that Confucius could read and write in this way, and the cowhide belt of serial bamboo slips was worn off several times and had to be replaced with new ones for repeated use. This is a metaphor for studying hard.
