What is the meaning of emptiness in the Book of Changes?

Emptiness is one of the important concepts in the Book of Changes, which represents not only the empty view of nothingness, but also a rare and precious state. This state can give people inspiration, enlightenment and deep thought, so in the philosophy of the Book of Changes, emptiness is a very lofty form of existence. In people's daily life, we need to learn to appreciate, respect and pursue the existence of nothingness, so that we can know ourselves and the world more clearly and deeply.

The concept of emptiness is often associated with "emptiness" and "nothingness" in the Book of Changes, both of which are used to describe a specific state. For example, the emptiness of yin and yang in the Book of Changes describes the balance between yin and yang and the formation of a relatively stable state. In contrast, if two instruments are added and overlap, it is a relatively "full" state. It can be said that emptiness is a relatively harmonious and balanced state, not a boring and empty state.

In most cases, the concept of emptiness is no longer respected by people in modern society, because modern society is biased towards practical, material and rapid development, while ignoring things that are really worth pursuing, such as thinking, reflection and peace. But in the philosophy of the Book of Changes, emptiness is the source of human life and the real wisdom and strength. Therefore, we need to constantly adjust our mentality in our daily life, so as to learn to appreciate and pursue the existence of emptiness, and on this basis, pursue the rarest and most precious things in our hearts.
