Is Zhouyi's divination accurate? What is the principle?

Today, I want to talk to you about an old and often new topic: is the Book of Changes accurate or not, and what is its principle!

There are many obstacles to the spread and study of Zhouyi, because many people don't know Zhouyi and what kind of book it is. Let me give you a brief introduction first.

Fundamentally speaking, it is a book that teaches on the basis of Tao. From ancient times to the present, people think that Fuxi created gossip to rule the world, and Zhou Wenwang played hexagrams to rule the world. Confucius paid special attention to the Book of Changes, aiming at ruling the world by Tao. What is Tao? Tao is what we call philosophy, doctrine and so on today. Because of this, it has been established by the rulers of past dynasties as the head of the group classics and the source of all laws, and has always been regarded as an immortal classic, held high and spread for a long time.

As the core content of philosophy, the three basic laws of "unity of opposites", "quantitative change and qualitative change" and "negation of negation" verified by contemporary philosophy are all revealed in the Book of Changes, but their expressions are different from those of modern times. In addition, other philosophical categories, such as cause and effect, necessity and accident, literary quality and similarities and differences, are very subtle in Zhouyi. Zhouyi is a basic theoretical work about the world view and its law of motion, which was used by saints at that time to unify people's thinking and understanding. Fundamentally speaking, it is a book that shows people the avenue of the universe.

What we call "divination" is "prediction" in another elegant and fashionable word. From the individual to the country, before doing a thing or formulating a policy, in addition to the necessary material preparation, there will be a basic judgment and expectation of things and policies, and this expectation is prediction. The author has also consulted a lot of information on the Internet before, but there is basically no clear explanation about the principle of Zhouyi prediction. Now give you a simple analysis:

Quotations say: "The way to heaven and earth is easy and accurate, so it can help us understand the way to heaven and earth. Looking up at astronomy and looking down at geography is the reason why you know the secret. It was against the end, so I knew the statement of life and death. Essence is a thing, wandering soul is a change, and it is the realm of knowing ghosts and gods. It is close to heaven and earth, so it does not violate it. "

This means that the frame model of Zhouyi is made according to the laws of heaven and earth and its movement, and its operating mechanism is consistent with heaven and earth. The main method for saints to make the Book of Changes is to look up at astronomical movements, look down at geographical movements and then simulate them. The pattern of Yi Gua is similar to the law of heaven and earth transportation, so it is consistent with the law of heaven and earth operation.

Seeing this, everyone should understand that the Book of Changes has a predictive function, and its principle is formulated by saints looking up and down to simulate the operation law of everything in heaven and earth. In modern terms, Zhouyi is a big computer program, which can be used for calculation. As long as there is no error in the data during the processing, the result of the operation is correct. This is the fundamental principle of Zhouyi's prediction.

Of course, in addition to following the basic laws, everything will be accidental and accidental. When it comes to forecasting, there may be some deviations sometimes, but the basic trend is not wrong. The basic premise of learning the prediction method of Zhouyi is to learn the classics of Zhouyi well, so that there will be no directional mistakes when making judgments, or you will become a "charlatan."
