The smartest book in the world-I ching

# I read the Book of Changes #

In the history of mankind, there are three books recognized as the most wise: the Book of Changes in China, the Vedas in India and the Bible in Europe. Among them, the Vedas and the Bible have the nature of historical books and religious classics, while the Book of Changes has no direct relationship with history and religion, and it discusses the operating law of the whole world.

Recently, I also read a lot of books on the "WeChat Reading" software. Some books, such as Caigen Tan+Night Talk Around the Furnace+Small Window Story, The Complete Works of Wu Ying Brothers, Four Seasons Spring, the cultivation of China's traditional solar terms, China's Classical Poetry, Beauty in the Heart, Beauty of Everything, General above, etc., are read in a string, and no one can finish reading them. I began to like the Book of Changes these two days. Now living in the countryside, I have studied this wonderful book that I have always wanted to read but have never read. The birthplace of novel coronavirus is Wuhan, Hubei Province, and it is the heart of the hen on the map of China. The establishment, naming and site selection of Raytheon Mountain and Vulcan Mountain Hospital all have the magical divination of the Book of Changes. I found the magical power of divination from the book.

Fire and thunder bite divination.

Judging from the hexagrams, the above hexagrams give electricity from the fire, and the following hexagrams shake it into wood to thunder, and lightning hits the object to make it burn. The ancients believed that God was punishing evil. The king, following the heaven, should crack down on criminals resolutely, quickly and thoroughly like lightning. This kind of divination also symbolizes the removal of obstacles with vigorous vitality and enthusiasm. However, the obstacle lies in Yang Gang. If you underestimate your enemy, you will encounter unexpected resistance. You shouldn't give up halfway and compromise. To fight with all one's strength, we must act quickly, such as the wrath of thunder, and have keen observation, such as the light of lightning. The more eventful it is, the more severe it is to use.

Su Qin got this divination and put on the seal of six countries.

This divination was occupied by Su Qin when he lobbied the six countries. Bite symbolizes bite and is also a metaphor of words. Su Qin overcame all difficulties and successfully persuaded the six countries to unite against Qiang Qin. The six countries also appointed Su Qin as Prime Minister.

During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Zhou Wenwang sorted out and annotated the Book of Changes, and then transferred the Book of Changes from the book of divination to the ideological and academic field of "harmony between man and nature". Since then, the Book of Changes has become the foundation of China's traditional culture. Confucianism and Taoism are of the same origin, and it has been praised as the "head of the group classics" by scholars of past dynasties. To study the culture of China, whether it is Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the Spring and Autumn Period or Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism after the Tang and Song Dynasties, we should talk about the Book of Changes. During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listed the Book of Changes as the first of the five Confucian classics. Since then, The Book of Changes has become the first classic required by Confucianism.

The Book of Changes is called a classic not only because of its magical divination function, but also because of its profound philosophy, so some people call it "the juvenile philosophy of mankind": ancient farming, animal husbandry, fishing and hunting are the economic basis of the Book of Changes; The comprehensive but undifferentiated natural science, humanities and philosophy are its cultural background; The long slave society's pursuit of rights is the political situation in its formation period; Philosophical speculation with popular and simple perceptual knowledge is the basis of its formation. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of human youth, rather than an unreachable and incomprehensible gobbledygook.

There are always different opinions about the word "Zhou" in Zhouyi. Some people think that "Zhou" means "everything is ready in Yi Dao and Zhou Pu", because the Book of Changes covers everything with "64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams", and the significance of divination is bound to be extremely universal. Some people think that "Zhou" refers to the Zhou Dynasty, indicating time. There are many explanations for the word "one", and there are three main viewpoints: the word "one" is the overlap of "day" and "month", with the day above and the month below; Yi is the image of a bird; Yi is a lizard. Lizards change color because of the environment. This is the Book of Changes. Today, most scholars believe that the word "Yi" contains three contents:

Simplicity: Although "Yi" is all-encompassing, there is a simplified formula or model in which all things and phenomena can be put and explained.

Change: "Yi" refers to the way of change. Everything is changing, and the change is complicated but there are rules to follow. The Book of Changes provides a theory to discover the law of change.

Not easy: Although the Book of Changes talks about change, the Tao is eternal, and the way of change remains unchanged. After learning the Book of Changes, people can use the law to "change with constancy".

Tai Ji Chuan is the perfect combination of martial arts and health preserving art in China, and it is a boxing method synthesized by Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wutangmen, according to the Yijing theory, the theory of Chinese medicine meridians and the breathing method (including the way of Yin and Yang) guided by Taoism.
