What is the relationship between the Book of Changes and the Tao Te Ching? Do they really know divination?

First, The Book of Changes is a classic, first compiled by Confucius, and a book learned by various schools. Tao Te Ching was written by Li Er. It is said that Li Er is the legendary hermit Laozi, so Tao Te Ching is the representative work of Taoism.

Second, the Book of Changes analyzes things from the basic elements of the world and the operation of everything.

Tao Te Ching can be said to be a philosophical work, which expounds Li Er's values and attitude towards life.

In fact, there is not much correlation between the two.

Third, Taoism itself is very different from Taoism. The Book of Changes is not only used by Taoism.

Fourthly, regarding the credibility of the Book of Changes, the analysis content of the Book of Changes is scientific and contains profound philosophical connotations. But the process of divination itself cannot be scientifically explained for the time being. The Book of Changes is a philosophical work at present, but as for fortune telling, it is not credible.
