Is there anything you must pay attention to if you want to learn the Book of Changes?

What's the point? First, let me give you a suggestion. Don't treat the Book of Changes as divination. Divination has nothing to do with the Book of Changes. Secondly, as for how to learn, the most important thing is that you have a rich imagination, and you have the ability to pull irrelevant things together. Don't call me alarmist. Let me give you an example to understand that there is a kind of divination called skinning divination in Zhouyi. It's interesting to peel the upper hexagrams into roots and the lower hexagrams into Kun. The upper bed is a bed, and the lower bed is a person. People are lying in bed. How do you relate it to exploitation? Have you thought about this question? This is the Zhouyi study. Sometimes hexagrams may be simple, but if you want to connect hexagrams with hexagrams, you may need a little imagination. As for what books to read, I'll give you a suggestion: Zhang Qi's Complete Interpretation of the Book of Changes and Detailed Interpretation of Sixty-four hexagrams of Zhouyi are excellent. You can buy it and have a look. These two books are the foundation. Zhang Qicheng's interpretation of the Book of Changes is very simple, and the exposition of the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes is to interpret the Book of Changes from an academic perspective. These two are simple and slightly abstruse, and it is a good choice to match them. If you want to read these books after reading them, you can look at the notes of the ancients. There are many books. Please recommend eighteen scholars' interpretation of Zhouyi, which is very comprehensive and detailed. Everyone else has said it, so I won't go into details.
