What is the Book of Changes

The Book of Changes is a divination book written by the ancients to predict the future development and changes.

The Book of Changes understands and grasps the world from a holistic perspective, and holds that man and nature are an interactive organic whole. That is, "the unity of heaven and man." It is a philosophical work of China's natural science and social science. The Book of Changes is divided into three parts: Lianshan and Guizang in the emperor's era, and Zhouyi in the Zhou Dynasty, also known as "Three Changes".

Lianshan and Guizang are ancient cultural classics of China, which can easily become eternal mysteries in the cultural field of China. The ancient people decided on the astronomical phenomena, made instruments, made calendars and changed books, and civilization began. "preface to the spring and autumn life calendar": "the world is open, and everything is turbid; According to yin and yang, celestial bodies begin in the field of the North Pole ... The sun and the moon turn five latitudes; The emperor went out ... the statue of the sky and the instruments of the land were fixed, and the year and month were fixed. "

The ideological core of the schema of Zhouyi is changeable, with eight diagrams and images in it; Therefore, it is very important to be in it; Combine rigidity with softness, and change it; What is the life of a copula? It moves in it. Huan Tan, a scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, said in the New Classics: "There are 80,000 words in Lianshan, and 4,300 words are collected in Tibet (Qin Jian Ben); Lianshan was hidden in Lantai and returned to Taibu.
