The Book of Changes and Physics —— Text (1)

You must know something about the Book of Changes, right? Open the Book of Changes, and you will see a sentence like this: Easy to have Tai Chi means having two devices, two devices give birth to four images, and four images give birth to eight diagrams. The book says that if you understand this truth, you will know astronomy, geography, everything in the world and human society. This statement is correct. You see, China's philosophy theory of Confucianism, Taoism, TCM theory and Shu Shu all developed from the Book of Changes, and their correctness has been fully proved. The influence on Chinese people is everywhere.

For a long time, when it comes to Zhouyi, many people think it is a fortune-telling book. It is more difficult for ordinary people to understand when applied to philosophy. When applied to the theory of Chinese medicine, it is incomprehensible except for Chinese medicine, and it is not as thorough as the theory of western medicine. In short, there is a feeling of Shinto. As for the books that explain it, many people don't believe that they can understand everything in the world. I am a physics lover and have been reading books on the Book of Changes for several years. When I can relate it to western physics, I can't express my admiration for the Book of Changes. It's really great. It can really analyze everything in the world. I feel obligated to share with you my superficial understanding of the Book of Changes, carry forward our traditional culture, explore the unknown world with its theory, and make greater contributions to the future of mankind. Below I will talk about the relationship between the Book of Changes and physics with my superficial understanding of the Book of Changes.

On the one hand, Yijing's understanding of nature is based on the periodic changes of climate throughout the year and the periodic changes of day and night. These two observed changes are caused by the revolution and rotation of the earth relative to the sun. Only the sun, without the revolution and rotation of the earth, will not produce four elephants. On the other hand, it is based on the atmospheric movement between heaven and earth, where the light is strong, the air is warm, and the water also evaporates into steam to rise upwards; where the light is weak, the air is cool, and the water vapor drops, forming an atmospheric circulation, so there are four images of wood fire and gold water, with China as the core, which is cyclic and endless. Through the understanding of light, Yin and Yang are produced, thus forming the Taiji theory. This is an important achievement of ancient human exploration of nature and the simplest truth, which effectively guided the understanding and development of nature, traditional Chinese medicine and philosophy in ancient times.
