How to understand Zhouyi?

The Book of Changes is a complete document of the Book of Changes. Throughout the ages, there are countless commentators and comprehenders, and there are countless writings. In my opinion, few people can really understand the Book of Changes. Confucius read the Book of Changes at the age of 50, and Wei compiled three unique works and a large number of manuscripts, also known as the Book of Changes or the Book of Ten Wings. Confucius at that time can be said to have understood the Book of Changes and raised this book, which is used to describe the life of our ancestors, to a philosophical and moral level. But in our view today, Confucius will not have the wisdom of modern people because he has not been exposed to Marxism and has not understood modern science. So Confucius can only read Zhouyi at most. Why is Zhouyi a scientific book against superstition? This should start with the "Six Classics" in Zhouyi. The Book of Changes uses the eight diagrams painted by Fuxi to explain the basic laws of the development of nature and human society, that is, the laws of the change of Yin and Yang. This law mainly has the following points: 1. Everything in the world can be summarized as yin and yang. These two things are antagonistic, inclusive and mutually promoting development. 2. The world is changing. The basic law of change is that Yin and Yang change each other, Yin goes to Yang, Yang goes to Yin, Yin has Yang, Yang has Yin, and Yin and Yang must reach a balance, otherwise something abnormal will appear. 3, the cathode is positive, the anode is negative, and the balance of yin and yang is to keep the middle and the right, which is in line with the laws of nature. People who keep the middle and the right will not make mistakes. 4. There are six stages in the evolution of Yin and Yang, which are represented by images, indicating that nothing is ultimate and perfect, and everything will change in the opposite direction when it develops to the extreme, either bright or dark. When negative things develop to a certain extent, human power plays a decisive role, and people must take revolutionary measures to promote the further development of things. Yes, according to this theory, the world is a changing world of yin and yang. Day passes and night comes, the sun rises and the moon rises, and men and women have sex. These are all objective changes in nature. Where are the gods and religions? If you read the Book of Changes and know this, you will grasp the essence of the Book of Changes, that is, understand the Book of Changes. On the contrary, you will think that the Book of Changes is a book of divination and fortune telling, and you will also participate in this vast fortune-telling army. Cao Xueqin, the author of A Dream of Red Mansions, said: The paper is full of absurd things and bitter tears, and the author Dou Yun is crazy. Who can understand the taste? Reading A Dream of Red Mansions is like this, and so is reading the Book of Changes.
