Classics often talk about the origin of Zhouyi.

Classics often talk about the origin of Zhouyi as follows:

1, gossip is sacred. Put it on doors and hats to ward off evil spirits. Exorcising evil spirits is only its little magical power, and its great magical power can now predict good or bad according to the past. Gossip is the Book of Changes. After all, gossip is too simple. Later, these hexagrams were reunited, and the two hexagrams merged into one. According to the necessity of arithmetic dislocation combination, it became sixty-four hexagrams, which is the number of hexagrams in Zhouyi.

2. There are six paintings in the Book of Changes, and each painting is called a hexagram-the order of the six hexagrams is counted from bottom to top. Some words belong to the whole of hexagrams, and some belong to each other, so they were later called hexagrams and rhetoric. This kind of divination and divination is also the divination record of divination officials, but it is different from Oracle Bone Inscriptions in nature.

3. From the historical stories and customs in the hexagrams, we know that these are all records in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, and many of them are incoherent, probably because several hexagrams are juxtaposed. At that time, the diviner edited these hexagrams in the order of hexagrams, and it became the book Zhouyi.

The Book of Changes has now become the first classic of Confucianism, but the early Confucianism did not attach importance to this book. Confucius does not talk about strangeness, strength, chaos and divinity. Although there is a saying in the Analects that "fifty people can learn the Book of Changes", another book says that "fifty people can learn and learn", so this sentence is very suspicious.
