Book writing background

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.
