What are the philosophical thoughts in Zhouyi?

The Book of Changes is the Book of Changes of the Zhou Dynasty in China, which was interpreted by Fuxi and innate gossip in Zhou Wenwang prison, and further interpreted as sixty-four hexagrams. In fact, since the Zhou Dynasty, Zhouyi has made great progress through the continuous efforts and perfection of sages. Modern Zhouyi refers to a set of rich and developed Yi-ology theories, including major works on Yi-ology and image number.

The Book of Changes is China's first compilation of classics, and it is a book that reveals and describes the internal origin law of the universe with the theory of Yin and Yang. Folk call it a wordless gobbledygook.

I ching is very old. Before writing appeared, our ancestors found that many things have two sides, such as day and night, men and women, hard and soft, and so on. In order to describe these positive and negative things, two simplest symbols were casually drawn; "-""-"to express it. At first, these two symbols must have been drawn casually, but they just represented the meaning without a name. Later, they were called Yang (-) and Yin (-). About the emergence of these two symbols, some books on Zhouyi say they are symbols of male and female genitals, while others say they are symbols of day and night. In fact, they do not specify that thing, but describe two things or two opposite aspects of one thing. Mao Zedong said that everything is divided into two parts, which is the positive and negative side of things. In the words of our ancestors, this is the negative and positive side of things. Everything has two sides, yin and yang, all of which are made up of yin and yang. At the same time, everything can be divided into yin and yang.

Yin and Yang are the abstract classification and description of the material world by our ancestors. With their deeper understanding of the material world, our ancestors will certainly feel powerless. Through further observation, according to the Book of Changes, our ancestors looked up at astronomy, looked down at geography, and took things far and near, and found the law of the image of everything, that is, everything was basically similar according to categories. Some have more yang, some have more yin, some have external yang and internal yin, and some have internal yin. So all things (mainly substances at first) are classified, and the results can be divided into eight categories. Everything is classified, and nothing can't be classified into these eight categories. In order to describe these eight kinds of substances, eight symbols are used to represent them. These eight symbols are composed of Yin and Yang, and later called Eight Diagrams (abbreviated), which is the origin of Eight Diagrams. For some books studying the Book of Changes, it is inaccurate to say that the river draws a picture, Luo draws a book, and the sage Fu Weizhi draws gossip, which makes people feel mysterious about the origin of gossip and is not conducive to the scientific propaganda of the Book of Changes. These eight symbols are our ancestors' understanding and description of the material world. It was the writing at that time, and it was the ancestor of writing.

Later, the ancestors found that not only the material world conforms to the classification and laws of gossip, but also the spiritual world can be described by gossip. In the monograph Zheng Qing Qigong, the author points out that the material world belongs to the Yang world and the spiritual world belongs to the Yin world. Both the yin and yang worlds conform to the classification and laws described in the gossip. According to this, Yisheng Zhou Wenwang further deduced that Fuxi's innate gossip describing the material world of nature was transformed into acquired gossip including the spiritual world, which could describe nature and society at the same time. What we are applying now is the Eight Diagrams of King Wen.

With the progress and development of mankind, the interaction between the spiritual world and the material world has increased, and the process and result of change can no longer be clearly classified and described by just eight hexagrams (symbols). Therefore, according to the laws of the development of these two worlds, Zhou Wenwang further interpreted the Eight Diagrams of King Wen into sixty-four hexagrams (August 8th). From then on, the law of movement and development of everything is in it, and nothing can escape from it. The development of modern science has also confirmed the sixty-four hexagrams and the natural society of the universe. For example, the sixty-four hexagrams are consistent with the genetic structure and combination of organisms.

It can be said that King Wen was engaged in great scientific research at that time. His classification, induction and summary of everything in the natural society, as well as his revelation and description of the laws of movement, change and development are so rigorous and accurate, and have such a strong vitality that they have lasted for thousands of years, which is unmatched by the achievements of the modern so-called Nobel Prize in Science. Sadly, some people describe the scientific research achievements of our ancestors as feudal superstitions. How ignorant and pathetic. Many modern sciences are based on and inspired by Zhouyi theory, and the invention of binary computer is a notable example. But some people forget their ancestors and the roots of our science and culture in China. When they grow up, they doubt their origins. Man is the product of the combination of yin and yang of his parents. Can we say that their parents' combination of yin and yang is superstition?

The origin of Zhouyi is scientific, and this origin is not clear, which is often easily regarded as superstition.
