Does the Book of Changes belong to Taoism or Confucianism?

The Book of Changes is both Taoism and Confucianism.

The Book of Changes is an important Taoist classic, bearing the historical mission and task. It is said that it was written by Zhou people, including the Book of Changes and Biography. Classics are mainly composed of 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams, each of which has its own interpretation (hexagrams) for divination.

It contains seven languages * * * and ten quatrains explaining hexagrams, which are collectively called Ten Wings. It is said that it was written by Confucius. However, it is generally considered to be a Confucian work in the Warring States or Qin and Han Dynasties, and it was not written by one person.

Confucianism regards Zhouyi, Shangshu, Shijing, Book of Rites and Chunqiu as five classics. "Jing" is a title added by later generations to commemorate these books. The Five Classics were originally called "Shu", "Li" and "Chunqiu".

According to the unearthed articles of Liu De and Yi Cong in Guodian Chu Bamboo Slips, it is proved that "Six Classics, Poems, Books, Rites, Yue, Yi and the Spring and Autumn Period are not isolated, but a relatively common phenomenon".

In the pre-Qin period, Confucius was "old and good at changing things", which led to the appearance of the "six classics" sequence of "using things first". The Book of Changes is the first of the group classics (Book of Changes, Poetry, Books, Rites, Music, Spring and Autumn). It enjoys the highest status in China's cultural history, and Qin Shihuang did not dare to damage it when he burned books.

Extended data:

The Book of Changes is divided into three parts: Lianshan and Guizang in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Zhouyi in the Zhou Dynasty, also known as "Three Changes" (once written at three o'clock, all three books were written in ancient times).

Many people mistakenly believe that the Book of Changes is the Book of Changes, and the Book of Changes is the Book of Changes. Simply put, the difference between Zhouyi and Yijing is the difference of affiliation, and Yijing includes Zhouyi.

Mr. Nan believes that the difference between Zhouyi and Yijing is that it is said that Zhouyi was made in prison. Some Confucian and Taoist cultures began to develop after King Wen wrote the Book of Changes.

Therefore, the theories of a hundred schools of thought all originate from these hexagrams painted in the Book of Changes. In fact, there are three changes in the Book of Changes. One is easy to connect mountains, the other is easy to return to Tibet, and the third is Zhouyi.
