Where did Zhou Wenwang create Zhouyi?

The Book of Changes created by Zhou Wenwang in Anyang.

"Historical Records" records that "King Wen was arrested and went to Zhouyi". It is said that Wen Wang is good at acting Zhouyi, and today's Zhouyi has the finishing power of Wen Wang, from which we can see some political ideas of Wen Wang.

According to legend, in ancient times, Fu created the Innate Yi (innate gossip), Shennong created the Lianshan Yi (Lianshan Bagua) and Xuanyuan created the Guizang Yi (Guizang Bagua). Later, it is said that after careful study, King Wen standardized and sorted it out, and interpreted it as 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams. With divination and diction, it is called Zhouyi.

It uses simple images and numbers, and the opposite changes of Yin and Yang to explain all kinds of complex social phenomena, and displays thousands or even infinite numbers, which has the characteristics of using few to show many, using simplicity to show many and being full of changes. The Book of Changes, which has been handed down to this day, was formed through the deduction and deduction of Duke Zhou and Confucius in later generations. Through the inheritance of scholars and ruling classes in past dynasties, Zhouyi, the king of literature, has become the Bible of China, the source of a hundred schools of thought, and even people's daily life.
