Can university teachers really calculate the number of students who skip classes with Zhouyi?

Yesterday, the content of a special course on Chinese and Western culture in Chengdu Institute of Physical Education exploded the circle of friends of many students. Just because Zong Zheng, the teacher of this course, actually used the method of "divination" to calculate the student numbers of three truant students in this class. And this "divine gesture" quickly became popular on the Internet. Zong Zheng said: "In fact, this calculation is a new content of the course. I just previewed it for them." The relevant person in charge of Chengdu Institute of Physical Education said that this incident can be regarded as a teaching case, rather than a common phenomenon, which can help students understand Chinese excellent traditional culture more directly and enhance the enthusiasm of the school.

"I mainly teach Chinese and Western cultural topics, foreign literature and games in Chengdu Institute of Physical Education, but my main business is teaching college Chinese." Zong Zheng said that "divination" is not as magical as the students say. "There are 58 people in this class, and there are 60 seats in the classroom, but there are still 5 empty seats. I can see at a glance that 3 people have not come." Zong Zheng said that because it took time to call the roll, and some students were joking at that time, let me guess which three people didn't come, so I made a simple calculation with plum blossom easy number.

"Through a series of calculations such as divination, I worked out four numbers: 24, 30, 50 and 56, of which 24, 40 and 56 are the mantissa of three students who didn't come. I didn't expect this simple calculation to cause such a big reaction. "

Zong Zheng said that this calculation is actually not as magical as students and netizens said. This is just a new course content to tell students. "I was giving a special course about China and western culture to a sophomore in journalism. This part of China culture includes Zhouyi, and my calculation method is also in this part. I just previewed it for you in advance. "

Regarding this popular network, Zong Zheng said frankly that the reason why so many people think it is mysterious or magical is because they don't know much about this knowledge. After really understanding, it will be a part of China culture, and it is not difficult to operate. "I just want to use a few minutes of classroom demonstration to tell you that this is not a magical thing. Everyone can learn in just a few minutes as long as you are willing to learn. "

Regarding Zong Zheng's practice, the relevant person in charge of Chengdu Institute of Physical Education said that Zong Zheng is a popular teacher at school, but students are always very interested in all his classes. This calculation exercise is a teaching method, which aims to attract and improve students' interest in this course. "Mr. Zong has his own teaching style in class. This incident is also a teaching case, not a common phenomenon. This practice can enable students to understand the excellent traditional culture of China more directly and improve the enthusiasm of school learning. "

Yijing, one of the three changes of Yijing (another view: Yijing is three changes, not Yijing), is one of the traditional classics. It is said that it was written by Zhou Wenwang Ji Chang, including the Book of Changes and biographies [1]? . 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 contains seven languages * * * and ten quatrains explaining hexagrams, which are collectively called Ten Wings. It is said that it was written by Confucius.

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 been regarded as a Confucian classic and the first of the Six Classics by Confucianism. In addition to Confucianism, there are two schools of Yi-ology and Confucianism-Yi-Yi, which develop in parallel: one is Yi-ology, which still exists in the old forces; The other is Laozi's Taoist Yi, which 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 accident, 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.

The Book of Changes is the first of Qunjing and a teaching book.
