The appearance of the Book of Changes;

1, I ching era:

At present, there are different opinions about the age of the Book of Changes. According to scholars' research, it should be 5000 years ago, and some people say that it was 7000 years ago, and the age of the book is the late Shang Dynasty and the early Zhou Dynasty.

2. The origin of the Book of Changes:

As for the origin of the Book of Changes, traditionally, it is generally believed that the Book of Changes originated from the Book of Hutuluo.

Legend has it that a dragon horse with a picture on its back appeared in the ancient Yellow River, and a turtle with words on its back appeared in Luoshui, so the sage Fuxi drew "innate gossip". At the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wenwang was imprisoned in the ancient place name yǒu, which is now in the north of tangyin county, Henan Province. He deduced the acquired gossip according to Fuxi's "innate gossip", that is, the "gossip", further deduced 64 hexagrams, and made a divination. The Book of Changes was written by Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Therefore, the Book of Changes has a saying that "people are more sacred and the world is three ancient". Meaning: The Book of Changes experienced three times: ancient, medieval and ancient, and was completed by three saints: Fuxi, King Wen and Confucius.

3. In the history of the Book of Changes, it is said that there are three kinds, namely the so-called "three changes":

(1), a saying "lianshan", which originated from lianshan yi in Shennong era, began with "divination" and symbolized "beyond the clouds, endless life".

(2) The Gui Zang Instrument, produced in the era of the Yellow Emperor, started with Kun Gua, symbolizing that "everything must be hidden in it", indicating that everything was born in the earth, and ultimately it was dominated by the earth.

(3) The Book of Changes, which originated in the late Shang Dynasty, began with the divination of "Gankun", indicating the knowledge differences between heaven and earth and between heaven and man.

The Book of Changes is one of the oldest documents in China. Let's trace its origin and history. The Book of Changes is revered by Confucianism as the first of the Five Classics. Three fantastic ancient books: Huangdi Neijing, Yijing and Shanhaijing. The Book of Changes is actually a collection of ancient books such as Lianshan, Guizang and Zhouyi, but Lianshan and Guizang have been lost. The Book of Changes describes the change of state with a set of symbol systems, and shows the philosophy and cosmology of China's classical culture. Its central idea is to describe the changes of everything in the world with the monism of yin and yang.

I ching in a broad sense includes I ching and I ching. The Book of Changes is divided into 30 hexagrams and Xia Jing into 34 hexagrams. Because the Book of Changes was written very early, around the Western Zhou Dynasty, the meaning of words evolved with the development of the times, and the content of the Book of Changes was not easy to read during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so people in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period wrote Ten Wings to interpret the Book of Changes.

It is generally believed that the Book of Changes was originally a book of divination, but its influence spread throughout China's philosophy, religion, medicine, astronomy, arithmetic, literature, music, art, military and martial arts. Since17th century, the Book of Changes has also been introduced to the west.
