What does the Book of Changes have to do with gossip?

What is the relationship between gossip and the Book of Changes? In the traditional Yi-ology, the status of gossip is so prominent that it has almost become synonymous with the Book of Changes. What is the Book of Changes? Isn't the Book of Changes just gossip? Ordinary people say so, and so do some Yi-ology experts. Studying the Book of Changes means studying gossip, and studying gossip means studying the Book of Changes. People who hold this view are quite common. Is that really the case? Let's go back to the source and discuss the relationship between the Book of Changes and gossip. Let's talk about the Book of Changes first. The Book of Changes includes hexagrams, hexagrams names, hexagrams words, hexagrams words, hexagrams names and hexagrams sequences. For example, dry hexagrams, six long strokes are arranged from bottom to top, which is the hexagrams; "Gan" is a divinatory name; "Yuan Heng, Li Zhen" is a hexagram; The following one is classified as "nine products", with the title of "nine products", indicating that this product is yang and "one product" is the order, indicating that this product is the first; "Hidden dragon, don't use it" is the slogan, and so on. Another example is Kun Gua, where six unconnected strokes are arranged from bottom to top, which is the symbol of six hexagrams; "Kun" is a divinatory name; ",Li Zhizhi true. A gentleman has friends. He wins after being fascinated. The profit lies in the southwest and the loss lies in the northeast. A Zhen Ji is a six-pointed star; The following broken lines are "six grades" and "six" as the title, indicating that this evil is yin, and "first" is the order, indicating that this evil is the first; "first frost, hard ice" is the slogan, and so on. It's a divinatory order, this trip is the first, Kun is the second, and so on. The above explanation of the basic composition of the Book of Changes has been recognized by most scholars. What is gossip? In the traditional Yi-ology, eight diagrams are also called classics, single hexagrams, three hexagrams and small hexagrams, which are arranged according to yin and yang. Every three hexagrams form a hexagram, which is called Gan, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui. So what is the relationship between gossip and the Book of Changes? This question is too complicated to say. Generally speaking, there are mainly the following points: First, the theory of "emphasizing hexagrams", that is, six hexagrams are the result of the coincidence of three hexagrams, in other words, gossip is the source of the Book of Changes; The second is the characterization of gossip, and the third is to take pictures of gossip; The fourth is gossip positioning; Fifth, the combination of gossip and heavenly stems and earthly branches; The sixth is the combination of gossip and five elements. And so on, these contents form a huge "gossip theory." The above points can be regarded as the main purpose of gossip, and of course, it can also be regarded as the position and role of gossip in the Book of Changes. Imagine that without the coincidence of gossip, there would be no six hexagrams, and without the combination of gossip with heavenly stems, earthly branches and five elements, we would not be able to understand the mechanism of the Book of Changes, and of course we would not be able to correctly explain the words of gossip and hexagrams. Gossip is the foundation and introduction of easy learning.
