What kind of book is the Book of Changes?

First, it originated from astronomy: The culture of Yijing first came from the ancients' understanding of the movement of the universe and the spatial relationship. The representative of high intelligence of ancient human beings summarized the theoretical basis of "the sky is round and the earth is round" and abstracted "the circular movement of a square" as the most basic movement of the universe by "looking up at the movement of space" and then imagining "looking down at the movement of the earth". On this basis, the primary Yijing thought era was formed, not just the totem symbol era. All kinds of star maps, astronomical maps and geographical maps obtained and described in the observation provide first-hand data for the in-depth study of the Book of Changes, but they are only data and the most primitive preliminary understanding of the universe, which cannot constitute a cultural theoretical system. We call this process, even a rather long-term process, the I ching ignorance era. Only after the theory of "Heaven and Round Place" is constructed, summarized and sublimated can the foundation of "River Map" and "Luo Shu" be established and the ideological and cultural era of the Book of Changes really come. Second, the extension in mathematics: We have been saying: "The theory without mathematical logic is just a word game, and conversely, mathematics without theoretical views is a number game", neither of which can support the needs of life survival and evolution alone. Any research starts from the needs of life's survival and evolution, and any research without the needs of life's survival and evolution is invalid. Therefore, only by transforming totem symbols into a cultural system of cognition, research and sublimation that meets the needs of life survival and evolution, and then promoting the survival and evolution of life, will it be truly branded in life genes. Therefore, ancient humans will follow the laws of cosmic movement, expand mathematical logic, decompose totem Tai Chi into four quadrants of yin and yang, and then evolve into a mysterious turtle map, complete the calculus and deduction of river map and Luo Shu, and achieve a high degree of unity of image thinking and logical thinking. Promote the effective transformation, progress and sublimation of the Yijing from the age of ignorance to totem symbols and then to the Yijing culture. The completion of the construction of the Book of Changes laid the foundation of China culture, including the philosophy and culture of the Book of Changes, and formed the root of China culture. Mr. Xu logically classified this easy-to-predict system as cosmic programming. 3. Trust in life: Any new theory must rely on practice to prove the correctness of its formulas, laws and theorems, and complete the transformation from a few scholars to the public, so as to deepen, excavate, improve and perfect it in practical application. In view of this, paleoanthropologists actively use the Yijing culture to develop advanced production tools and guide the development of high IQ groups of ancient humans, and have made gratifying research results in promoting the optimal evolution of human beings, especially in understanding the laws of cosmic movement, changing the ecological environment in time, turning negative into positive, turning decadent into magic, promoting the development of productive forces, improving the quality of production and life, predicting and controlling fate, and making great contributions to prenatal and postnatal care. A number of thinkers and politicians have emerged in history, such as Laozi, Confucius and Shao Yong. Jiang Ziya, Zhuge Liang, Sean, Xiao He, Liu Bowen and other military strategists and thinkers have emerged. A number of scientists such as Zhang Heng and Hua Tuo have emerged. As a result, the Yijing plan opened up cultural disciplines such as mathematics, physics, literature, history and philosophy. The Yijing culture permeates every field of China people's production and life. Therefore, through the invention and innovation of production tools, the role of promoting the development of productive forces has been greatly demonstrated. If we deepen the excavation research, it will greatly promote the more advanced development of China. Unfortunately, the ruling class did not think positively. In their view, the progress of the people is the biggest enemy, which harms the interests of the ruling class, rather than developing itself from within the ruling class to meet the needs of historical development. As a result, the ruling class adopted the policy of obscurantism in the dissemination of Yijing culture, which misled all kinds of ghosts and gods to study the Yijing, and kept the basic procedures of the Yijing hidden, greatly weakening the scientific value and far-reaching significance of the Yijing research. Only a few marginal knowledge, such as prediction, which is considered by the ruling class not to affect the political situation, has been preserved and circulated among the people as a tool for fortune telling, while most of the core programs that can "promote scientific development and open human wisdom" have been lost one after another. However, the magical effect of the Book of Changes in prediction has seduced many mathematicians, forecasters and researchers throughout the ages to explore the unique writing skills and make the Book of Changes last forever. Due to the loss of the program, the Book of Changes has lost the scale of testing the truth and falsehood, which makes it difficult to distinguish the truth and falsehood in the study of the Book of Changes, and the contradiction between science and falsehood is difficult to spread. Fourthly, the presentation in philosophy: The Book of Changes is crowned as the head of the group classics, and is praised by Chinese and foreign scholars as a theory to understand and summarize the universe, which is largely determined by the standardization of the Book of Changes theory as a philosophical theory and the in-depth study of the world outlook. However, during the long-term inheritance and reproduction of the Book of Changes, the ruling class adopted a contradictory attitude towards it, which seriously separated its theoretical views from its basic procedures and covered up their dialectical logical relationship. According to the existing viewpoints and current needs, most scholars have extended and developed the Book of Changes, covered it with a thick and contradictory theoretical shell, and formed superstitions on viewpoints, theorems, figures and experts. Therefore, I ching research has been introduced into a bottomless pit. The people who come here have lost everything. Only when they hear the abuse, do they know that there are still several students groaning and get lost. Philosophy has contributed to the Book of Changes. Without philosophy, the Book of Changes cannot be sublimated, and it can only stay in the primary totem and symbol game. Philosophy is harmful to the Book of Changes. It is precisely because philosophy, formulas, theorems and laws have been preserved by convention, which leads to superstition of opinions, theorems, people and experts, which leads to the depression of the study of the Book of Changes and the loss of the essence of enlightening scientific research. Without the procedural basis, I ching philosophy can stimulate human imagination and imagination space, but at the same time, it also leads human beings to fall into the theoretical whirlpool of falling into a wrong path. An imaginary space without a ruler can produce both scientists and demons. Therefore, the Book of Changes can be described as: success in philosophy, failure in philosophy. Five. Standing in practice: When we clarify the ins and outs of the Book of Changes, you will find that the Book of Changes culture is everywhere, and it is the foundation for the establishment of various disciplines. Therefore, Mr. Xu said, when you really understand the Book of Changes and know how to program the universe, you will have the golden key to unlock the secrets of the universe. Because your specialties and majors are different, you will get your own place, so that you can step into the hall of scientists and win the laurels of scientists and inventors.
