What is the Book of Changes?

? Outline of Mr. Pan Shouyu's Speech at the First China Symposium on Image, Mathematics and Physics

Easy means simple, changeable and difficult!

The composition of Yijing is the last day, next month. I ching is a person who studies all the laws of motion in the world and the laws of motion of the sun and the moon. The Book of Changes is the head of the group classics, the source of the avenue, the classics in the classics, the wisdom in wisdom, the guide to life and career, and the book of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

Confucius said in "Biography of Cohesion": "The ancients were the kings of Xi family, looking up at the sky, looking down at the land, watching the articles of birds and beasts, walking in the right place, far and near everything, so they started gossip to communicate the virtues of gods and the feelings of all things." Second, analysis (personal humble opinion, throwing a brick to attract jade) Fu put his body close and things far away, so he began to gossip. In fact, it reflects our Chinese nation's idea of "harmony between man and nature" since ancient times-observing everything in the outside world, observing our own internal mysteries, understanding the mysteries of the external "big universe" and our own "small universe", and then "inventing" gossip. This point (the idea of "harmony between man and nature") has been repeatedly demonstrated in the Book of Changes-every hexagram in the Book of Changes has a "divination virtue", which is to explain "human nature" in the way of nature (heaven), and the Book of Changes has therefore become the source of all ancient books and hundreds of thoughts (also the thoughts of the Chinese nation). Just look at "dry" and "Kun"

Two hexagrams-"Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement." "The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with morality." You know, looking at heaven and earth ("taking everything far away"), you get the virtue of heaven and earth. What is the virtue of heaven and earth? It is human virtue ("close"). So learning the Book of Changes is a kind of accumulation of knowledge.

It is a kind of moral introspection! If nothing else, just think about the words "self-improvement" and "morality" (the two complement each other). If you can really understand and practice them, you will benefit for life!

The Book of Changes says: The husband regards heaven and earth and their virtues, the sun and moon and their brightness, the four seasons and their sequence, ghosts and gods and their good and bad luck as human beings.

The purpose of studying Zhouyi is to understand the law of the development of things, look up at astronomy and geography, take things far away, get close to the body, learn from heaven, earth, everything in nature, learn from the ancients, learn from today's people, practice both inside and outside, cultivate one's self-cultivation, and achieve immortality through' enlightenment'. Suitable for survival, auspiciousness, development, pursuing the realm of knowledge, and finally achieving harmony with nature.

Man is a product of nature, because of the order of heaven, China is a state of mind. Everything starts from the heart, and your conscience is God. Once your soul and mind are awakened, it is the master of the universe! Man, earth, heaven, heaven and Tao are natural! Things are the same as me, that is, the Buddha who was later introduced to China is the same as me!

In order to make your career and family run in a suitable position; Appropriate limits; The right time (that is, the best, the best, the most suitable). Make your career perfect and keep it perfect. You must learn to understand the Book of Changes.
