1, Introduction to Zhouyi:

The Book of Changes, one of the Three Changes of the Book of Changes (another view: the Book of Changes is three changes, not the Book of Changes), is one of the traditional classics. It is said that it was written by Zhou Wenwang Jichang, and its contents include the Book of Changes and the Book of Changes. Classics are mainly composed of 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams, each of which has its own interpretation (hexagrams) for divination.

The Book of Changes did not put forward the concepts of Yin-Yang and Taiji, but was influenced by Taoism and Yin-Yang theory. There are seven kinds of words * * * 10 explaining hexagrams, which are collectively called the Ten Wings and are said to be written by Confucius.

Zhouyi is the theoretical source of natural philosophy and humanistic practice in China's traditional ideology and culture, the crystallization of China's ancient thoughts and wisdom, and is known as the "source of Tao". The content is extremely rich, which has had a far-reaching impact on China's politics, economy, culture and other fields for thousands of years.

2. The background of this book:

In the early society of China, due to the low productivity and underdeveloped science, the ancestors could not give scientific explanations to natural phenomena, social phenomena and human physiological phenomena, which led to the worship of God and thought that there was a supreme God behind things, which dominated everything in the world.

When people suffer from natural and man-made disasters repeatedly, they sprout the desire to predict sudden disasters and their behavioral consequences with the help of providence, so as to achieve the purpose of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. In the long-term practice, various prediction methods have been invented to communicate between man and god, and the Zhouyi, which can best reflect the meaning of god, is produced under such conditions.
