Are Zhouyi and Yijing a book?

Zhouyi and Yijing are a book, and Zhouyi is Yijing.

The Book of Changes, also known as the Book of Changes, is divided into a scripture department and a biography department. The Ministry of Classics, formerly known as the Book of Changes, reveals the typical symbolic meanings of 450 hexagrams and judges the corresponding good and bad luck. The Ministry of Classics includes classical Chinese, seal script, seal script, seal script, new divination and seal script.

There are different opinions on the interpretation of the word Zhouyi, but there are mainly two kinds: one thinks that Zhouyi is a divination book of the Zhou Dynasty; There is a view that Zhouyi is a book about changes, which means the English version of TheBookofChanges.

There was a reference to Zhouyi in the Spring and Autumn Period, which was mentioned many times in the historical book Chunqiu Zuozhuan, but from the Zhouyi used by people at that time, it only included sixty-four hexagrams (symbols) and hexagrams.

During the Warring States period, people wrote the Book of Changes in order to explain it. Both Zhouyi and Yi Zhuan are called Yi Zhuan. For example, Zhuangzi's so-called "Yi Yin Yang" and Xunzi's so-called "Good for Yi" include Yi Zhuan.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, in order to strengthen centralization of authority, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of "respecting Confucianism alone" and followed the practice of the pre-Qin and Han Jingdi, calling the works of Taoist Huangdi and Laozi classics, and also the works of Confucius and Confucianism classics. The Book of Changes and The Book of Changes are called the Book of Changes, or directly called the Book of Changes.

Since then, Zhouyi, Yijing and Yijing have been mixed. There are Zhouyi, Yijing and Yijing. In fact, they mean the same thing, both referring to the sixty-four hexagrams and Yi Zhuan. They have been used to this day, and there is still no strict distinction. Some scholars, in order to distinguish between the classic and biography of Zhouyi, call the 64 hexagrams "Zhouyi Ancient Classics" and the ten works (Yi Zhuan) annotated with "Zhouyi Ancient Classics" "The Great Biography of Zhouyi".

From the development history of Yi-ology, the pre-Qin Yi-ology developed into the old Confucius era, forming three branches: Taoist Yi, Confucian Yi and Artist Yi. Later, Qin Shihuang burned books and was immune to it, but Yi Xue reached its peak and declined. The general trend of the three branches of Yi-ology emerged from obscurity after the pre-Qin period: through Huai Nan Zi, the trend of Taoist Yi-ology became clear; Through Dong Zhongshu's numerous expositions in the Spring and Autumn Period, the trend of Confucianism is clear. Through the study of using different disasters, the changing trend of skills and quantity is clear.

The interpretation tradition of Zhouyi changed greatly in the Han Dynasty. There are three most important schools of hermeneutics in the Book of Changes in Han Dynasty: one is the iconology represented by Meng Xi and Jing Fang, the other is the righteousness school represented by Fei Zhi, and the third is the Huang-Lao school headed by Yan Zun.

At the end of 1960s, Lao Si Guang, a Taiwan Province scholar, introduced the concept of "cosmic order" into the Book of Changes, the first volume of the newly compiled History of China Philosophy.

In 1980s, Zhouyi began to attract the attention of mainland academic circles. An academic group specializing in Zhouyi was separated from the research team of China's philosophy history, and a large number of high-quality monographs and papers were published one after another, with emphasis on the circulated version of Zhouyi and the unearthed bamboo slips version of Zhouyi.

On the other hand, an academic group specializing in the history of China's logic, separated from the logic research team, examined and analyzed Zhouyi from the perspective of logic, and published some monographs and papers one after another. At the beginning of the 20th century, the logical thought of Zhouyi, as the starting point of China's logical history, was incorporated into the national key teaching materials and recommended as the teaching materials for graduate students in colleges and universities by the Graduate Office of the Ministry of Education. ?
