Introduction to Zhouyi

One of the Book of Changes and Three Changes (The Three Changes still existed when Liu Xiang collated the book in the early Han Dynasty, but its whereabouts were unknown after the Han Dynasty) is one of the traditional books, which is said to have been written by Zhou Wenwang Jichang, and its contents include The Book of Changes and Biography. 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. It carries seven kinds of words * * * and ten epigrams, which are collectively called Ten Wings. 1 During the Spring and Autumn Period, official schools began to evolve into private schools. There is a gradual development before and after the Yi-ology, and a hundred schools of thought contend, so it is easy to divide. Since Confucius praised the Book of Changes, the Book of Changes has always been regarded as a Confucian classic, the first of the six classics, but it is outside of Confucianism. "There are two schools of Yi-ology, which develop in parallel with Confucian Yi-ology: one is Yi-ology, which still exists in the old forces; The other is Laozi's Taoist Yi. Therefore, since Confucius praised Yi, China Yi-ology began to be divided into three branches. The General Catalogue of Sikuquanshu divides the origin and evolution of Yi-ology into "two schools and six schools". Two schools, namely, the school of mathematics and the school of righteousness; Six cases, one is divination, the other is auspiciousness, the third is accidents, the fourth is old Zhuang Zong, the fifth is Confucianism, and the sixth is history. 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. Before the Qin Dynasty, there were teachers who specially explained the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes is the first of Qunjing and a teaching book.
