What does it mean to choose a son in the Book of Changes?

The "chosen son" in the Book of Changes refers to the person chosen by fate. I ching believes that there is a supernatural power between heaven and earth, which will run and maintain everything. Under the control of this power, some people will be selected and have special talents and missions to complete some special tasks. These people are called "chosen sons".

The "chosen son" is not random, but conforms to certain laws and standards. These standards include not only heredity, but also personal quality, education, social background, ideas and so on. Therefore, although the "chosen sons" were born in different environments and families, they all share some excellent qualities and have special personality charm and leadership.

Yijing believes that people with "chosen sons" will usually become great figures, and they will become promoters of social change and development, leading people to a more prosperous and powerful society. For those chosen by fate, they must shoulder their own mission and make their own contribution to the future development of mankind. Therefore, although the "chosen son" faced pressure and challenges, it also achieved lofty career and life goals.
