After reading Zhouyi

The Book of Changes is one of China's classic works, including The Book of Changes and The Book of Changes. The Book of Changes is mainly used for divination, while biographies are mainly used to explain divination and rhetoric. The following is a review of the Book of Changes collected for everyone. Welcome to read and learn from it.

Reflections on the Book of Changes (1)

I heard of Zhouyi when I was very young, but it is much more mysterious than The Analects. I still remember the first time I saw this book from my grandfather. It was Chinese New Year, and my naughty cousin turned out a yellow book with no cover. As a result, my grandfather took the book and wouldn't let my cousin play. Grandpa said it was the Book of Changes, and then my uncle said it was a good book, because I was too young to remember it clearly. But the Book of Changes is a good book, and I have known it since I was a child.

I haven't read this book since I was a child. I'm a little confused: isn't this book very famous? Why didn't you see your classmates?

After I went to college, for professional reasons, I officially had the opportunity to read this book and knew that the Book of Changes was also called Zhouyi.

I didn't know until I saw it. This is a revealing book about the typical meanings of 450 hexagrams and the corresponding good or bad judgments, including the shapes of 64 hexagrams, the characters and words of the hexagrams. Simply put, it is similar to reading a book of feng shui fortune telling. No wonder my grandfather will watch it. My grandfather's hobby is to help people see Feng Shui in their buildings.

However, although it is a book about divination, I still read it with great interest, because I know that a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement; The famous saying that a gentleman carries things with virtue actually comes from Zhouyi. I don't think this book is so simple, it should be a book full of philosophy.

Zhouyi, as one of the four books and five classics, was specially used in ancient times to predict the future and make decisions on state affairs, and also told how to deal with the relationship between nature and people and between people. In my opinion, it inevitably contains some unscientific theories, but in terms of culture, I think it has its subtlety in telling people and nature how to succeed.

Just as celestial bodies maintain vitality through movement, a gentleman should constantly pursue self-improvement. If you don't use the hidden dragon, Yang is next. See Long Zaitian, Deshipu also. Do it all day, over and over again. Or jump into the abyss and have no regrets. Fei long is in the sky, and Niu San is also there. This is the first divination "Gan" from Zhouyi. The general meaning is: a gentleman should run like Tianyu, even if he is displaced, he will be indomitable; If you are a gentleman, the measurement of objects should be like the earth, and nothing can't be carried. It doesn't work in the incubation period, so we must strengthen our faith, stand by and wait, and don't act rashly; Before the time comes, if the dragon dives into the abyss, it should hide in front of it and stand by and move; Dragonflies pointing to the sky indicate that all people in the world will be blessed; A gentleman should strive for self-improvement and make unremitting efforts all day long. When you take the initiative to choose, when you shrink back, you shrink back. When you leap, you jump up and down, jump to the ninth five-year plan and retreat to the depths of the masses, so there will be no mistakes.

It contains profound philosophical meaning. Over the years, these words have supported and encouraged many people to work hard for success. These words teach us that if we want to make a difference, we must strive for self-improvement and have a broad mind, then we must fully understand our own abilities, wait for the time to be ripe with firm belief, and finally bravely and resolutely move towards success; Be decisive. If you make a mistake, correct it immediately.

There are many philosophical truths in Zhouyi, for example, the cathode must be reversed, and the anode must say that everything must not be crossed and must be measured; Observing astronomy is to observe the changes of time; Looking at the humanities, turning it into the world tells us that we should not only pay attention to the weather and grasp the natural changes, but also pay attention to the harmony of people and deal with interpersonal relationships, which is an extremely important step towards success.

Zhouyi is a famous book with far-reaching influence in ancient China. Even today, it still has a far-reaching impact on China's economy, politics and culture. I can only understand a small part of Zhouyi, and there are many books with potential knowledge and philosophical principles. However, in this part, I benefited a lot. It taught me a lot about life or things. In your spare time, pick up Zhouyi and read it carefully. I believe you will gain something!

Comments on Zhouyi (II)

Recently, in the field of the Book of Changes, it was found that Confucius' contribution to the Book of Changes was too great to be imagined. It can even be said that without the guidance and intervention of Confucius, we could not interpret this gobbledygook. No Confucius? Ten wings? As a wing, this book is difficult to pass down through historical time and space. Just say it briefly here? Ten wings? A collection of Confucius' thoughts.

Eleven Wings is ten articles about the Book of Changes by Confucius, including six biographies of Xiang, Xun and Ci from top to bottom, and four biographies of Classical Chinese, Shuo Gua Zhuan, Xu Gua Zhuan and Za Gua Zhuan. Is Biography of Classical Chinese a literary ornament? Fuck? 、? Kun? These two hexagrams have nothing to do with other hexagrams. The preface explains the reason of the arrangement order of the sixty-four hexagrams, which is worth studying and will be explained in another article. Eight original divination images were inferred from Shuogua Zhuan, and the so-called meaning of divination in scripture is Confucius' understanding of the eight divination images. The Biography of Miscellaneous Gua is about the principle of comprehensive Gua and wrong Gua. These three articles are all special topics, and only Coherent Biography is a very scattered discussion. Some people say that it is equivalent to the General Theory of the Book of Changes, which has some truth, but it is specious. I don't think it is a general theory, but a summary of Confucius' experience in interpreting the Book of Changes.

Wen Xin Zhuan is an essay of Confucius reading Yi.

The first and second chapters of Cohesion Biography consist of twelve chapters. Confucius's Yijing Justice and Zhu's Yijing Original Meaning are more reasonable, so we will follow them today. The last chapter and the first seven chapters belong to the general theory, which interprets the Book of Changes from different angles. As said at the beginning:? The heavens and the earth are humble, and the dry Kun will decide. Humble and high, with Chen, high and low. There are both movements, and rigidity and softness are broken. ? It is an understanding and interpretation of the overall spirit of the Book of Changes. The general idea is: the sky is high and respectful, and the ground is low and low. Determine the position of Gankun. Once the low and high positions appear in turn, things will occupy their respective positions. There is a certain law between the movement of the sky and the stillness of the earth, so the essence of masculinity and femininity is clearly defined. This is an explanation of the origin of the Book of Changes and an understanding of the relationship between nature and human activities. The first few words of the second chapter say: sages set up hexagrams to observe images, saying that they are auspicious, combining rigidity with softness, and changing endlessly. ? Sages set up gossip to observe the changes of everything in the world, and set up words on the map to explain good and bad luck, which changes with the mutual change of yin and yang. It is a further explanation of the emergence and application of gossip.

The second chapter of the next chapter of Cohesion Biography says:? In ancient times, the king of Xi family was the king of the world. He looked up at the sky, looked down at the earth, read articles about birds and animals, adapted to the earth, approached all the bodies, and took everything far away, so he began to gossip and communicate the virtues of the gods and the feelings of all things. ? This passage is to explain how gossip came into being, and it is the opening words of studying the Book of Changes. It has been repeatedly quoted by later generations and is familiar to many people. If you consider writing the Book of Changes or General Theory in an all-round way, it should be the beginning of a coherent biography and should not appear in the second chapter of the next chapter. So I once thought that Biography of Cohesion was an essay written by Confucius when he read Yi. It is for this reason that disciples dare not shift their positions and keep their original appearance when preaching.

From the Book of Changes? Ten wings? It was handed down from Confucius to his disciple Shangqu and passed down from generation to generation. Unlike The Analects, The Analects was compiled by disciples collectively, so disciples have my own ideas. ? Ten wings? Confucius' words were handed down directly by his disciples, and he dared not change them casually. Therefore, I said that the Coherent Biography is not a general theory, but a random record of Confucius' reading of the Book of Changes.

New wine in old bottles? The carrier of Confucius' accommodation thought.

Confucius once said that he was? Do it or say it? In other words, I declare that I am inheriting ancient culture rather than creating it. In other words, my cultural work is well-founded and verified by ancient history. When he wrote Chunqiu, he actually revised it on the basis of Lu's original history books. So-called? If the pen is sharpened, it must be sharpened. For Yi, he wrote his feelings and opinions in an essay without modifying the original text. Generally speaking or in detail, I use divination to express my views on the universe, heaven and earth, and human social relations, and inject vivid and rich contents such as human life, ethics and morality into the original boring symbol system, so that we can see the figure of people.

Chapter 8 of The Scholars basically records Confucius' explanation of some individual remarks, such as? Fan, howl first and then laugh. ? Confucius said:? Gentleman's way, or out or place, or silent or language, two people are one, its profit breaks gold; The difference between one thought and another. ? Said that before? Fellow? Divine words? Howl first and then laugh? Confucius' interpretation of this sentence is that a gentleman can sometimes travel far, sometimes be prepared for danger in times of peace, sometimes remain silent, and sometimes talk about the wind and waves. Together, they are like a sword that can cut iron like mud. They have the same will and ideal, and their words are as fragrant as bluegrass. Emphasize the importance of cooperation. We often use it? The two are integrated, and the benefits are broken; The difference between thoughts stinks like the sky? I didn't pay much attention to this idiom. It was said by Confucius.

? Be modest, a gentleman has an end, Ji. ? Confucius said:? Work without cutting, work without virtue, thick without thickness, and language with merit. Those who are polite, polite and modest also respect their position. ? What's the previous sentence? Modesty? 93 remarks. This essay should have existed before Confucius, followed by Confucius' explanation of this essay. Its main purpose is: try not to boast, make meritorious deeds without taking credit, and don't think about good deeds. This is an extremely kind performance, and it is a way to transfer one's credit to subordinates. Morality should be noble, courtesy should be humble. The significance of modesty lies in preserving one's virtues and contributions with respect. Confucius' explanation enriches the content of the original essay, makes it more humane and increases our reading pleasure.

At the end of the full text of Cohesion Biography, there are a few words: those who betray will be ashamed of their words, and those who doubt in the center will be ashamed of their words. Lucky people talk less, impetuous people talk more. Those who falsely accuse good people will swim in words, and those who lose their arguments will be wronged. ? Translated as:? Some are ready to defect, some are ashamed, and some are in doubt. His words are bitter and talkative, and the gentleman is concise, and there are many people who are anxious and radical. The words of slandering good people are rambling, and the words of disloyal traitors are turning around. It is the key to attach importance to and inherit the Book of Changes to integrate the profound life experience and rich human feelings into the interpretation of the hexagrams and words in the Book of Changes.

Comments on Zhouyi (3)

I have only heard of Zhouyi before. Some people say that it is used for fortune telling, while others say that the invention of computers is due to Zhouyi's thoughts. Anyway, in my mind, Zhouyi is profound and mysterious. Recently, after listening to the wonderful explanation of Zhouyi, I was deeply touched and got a preliminary understanding of Zhouyi.

The Book of Changes is indeed the foundation of China traditional culture. Yi Dao is vast and all-encompassing, covering astronomy, geography, music, art of war, phonology and arithmetic, and even adding fuel to the fire outside the party, which is easy to help? . The philosophical thoughts in Zhouyi are particularly enlightening. Full loss, little gain? 、? Misfortune and blessing? 、? If it is too rigid, it will fold and it will be soft. After reading this philosophy, there are many feelings, especially among them? Misfortune and blessing? Dialectical thinking has inspired me a lot.

At the end of last year, a friend had an accident while driving under the influence of alcohol, causing death and being detained in criminal detention. After that, he paid more than 0.2 million/200 thousand to avoid jail. After the accident, friends often blame themselves and stay at home. However, after many friends' persuasion, life is a long road, so you should cheer up when you encounter setbacks and not indulge in them. My friend has gradually come out of this gloomy day, but the impact of this incident may be unforgettable for life.

As reflected in the Book of Changes? Misfortune and blessing? I think that people should consider the difficulties they will face in the future when they are prosperous, otherwise, are you happy? It may be unbearable when you really encounter difficulties. My friend usually makes this kind of mistake. People live too well and smoothly to be prepared for danger in times of peace. As a result, such an accident happened, which was very traumatic to people. When friends are in trouble, they are also discouraged at first. Should he understand Zhouyi at this time? Misfortune and blessing? Our philosophy should have hope for the future and never be depressed. ? An old frontiersman loses his horse—a blessing in disguise. If my friend can remember the lesson in his later life, maybe he will have a better life.

The Book of Changes is indeed a sacred book, which is profound and difficult to understand, but if you understand the concept of being a man and doing things, you will benefit for life. Study hard, have a good understanding, find the truth of life from Zhouyi, and use the philosophical thinking of Zhouyi to guide life and work, and the road of life may be much smoother. I will know more about Zhouyi in the future, and I hope more people will know about Zhouyi.

Zhouyi Review (IV)

There is a book called Zhouyi at home. Look at the picture and speak. I can't help being fascinated when I have nothing to do.

At least 6000 years ago, our ancestor Fu was able to form cosmological models such as river charts on the basis of natural numbers, and this model can be integrated with astronomy, geography, calendar and medical care. I was surprised at his initial genius. I repeatedly thought about Fuxi's primitive thinking and tried to get into his state.

When I read Zhouyi, the first thing I realized was that China people had great respect for ancient philosophers, such as Fuxi. He realized when he saw the dragon and horse jump out of the water by the Yellow River? Wear nine and one? A mathematical model of the universe. If this legend is true, then Fuxi was in a state of mental illness at that time. Of course, this mental illness may be temporary, which is caused by his meditation and hallucinations. Our ancestors regarded this mental patient as their ancestors because he created a mathematical model of the universe, and so did Dayu. On the basis of his epiphany on Luo Shu, he understood the principle of mutual restraint and cured the flood with this philosophy. Our ancestors respected him as their father.

After reading Zhouyi, my second experience is how to build my own model of the universe. Philosophy is exclusive, not based on predecessors' philosophy. It is impossible to build your own model of the universe on the basis of predecessors' philosophy. Studying predecessors' philosophical thoughts only draws lessons from his original philosophical working methods. At this time, he was just a philosopher and enthusiast. A true philosopher must have his own original model of the universe. Fuxi and Dayu created cosmological models such as He Tuluo Shu on the basis of natural numbers. This incident inspires us that the abstract integration of modern mathematics and natural science is a way to establish our own cosmological model.

Comments on Zhouyi (5)

"Six towers? Brief introduction:? Chunsheng, everything is glorious; Xia Daochang, everything becomes; Autumn roads converge, and everything is surplus; Everything has been found. Born at four seasons, everything is born on the ground, there are people in the world, and the benevolent saint priests. ?

The change of weather is closely related to the change of human society. The four seasons go round and round, just like the world chaos; Day and night, morning and dusk alternate, as if the regime is falling together. A person's life has ups and downs like a flood; The joys and sorrows of the world, such as the ups and downs of the moon, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the country breaks down and dies; One profit and one loss, one yin and one yang. Man is a member of nature, and the world is the embodiment of nature. This idea is embodied in the book Zhouyi. When you read a few pages of Zhouyi, you will be deeply attracted by the truth expounded in it and sincerely admire the wisdom of the ancient people in China.

I ching said:? The road changes, each in his own life, maintaining harmony and harmony, but being virtuous. The first ordinary thing, Xianning, the world. ? The function of yang-drying qi is endless, which can make everything correct its attributes and life span, maintain the qi of harmony, and help to embody the right path. The qi of dry yang is above all things, making the world seem peaceful. When the sun is strong at noon, flowers and trees are spreading their branches, and green leaves are trying to carry out this photosynthesis, and everywhere is full of vitality. At night, the stars and the moon are in the sky and the branches and leaves gather again. At this time, the day belongs to Yang and the night belongs to Yin. The same is true of human society. When the politics is clear, the monarch and ministers are diligent, the sages are accessible, the people are rich, and Xianning is peaceful in the four seas. Politics is dark, traitors are in power, books are burned to bury Confucianism, thieves are in groups, lives are ruined, and warlords are separated. At this point, the rule belongs to Yang, and the disorder belongs to Yin.

It is this kind of thought that Zhouyi conveys to us. The essence of Zhouyi lies in these thoughts. Don't be too complacent, because summer is coming and autumn is not far away; Don't be too pessimistic in troubled times, because when winter comes, spring is not far away. Even, people don't have to be afraid of death, and death is something that no one can escape. Just like the fruit will fall off when it is ripe, and it will rain when it is sunny for a long time. There is nothing to be afraid of. Everything is running normally according to the laws of nature.

Zhouyi has made us understand a lot. To be a man, everything should follow the laws of nature. Only those that conform to nature are worth promoting; It is not advisable to go against nature. Today, however, human beings try their best to conquer and transform nature. Human beings think that science and technology are advanced and seem to be able to compete with nature. However, what human beings don't know is that in the face of nature, human beings will always be naive children. Once nature retaliates against mankind, the disaster will be devastating.

Reading Zhouyi is to understand the relationship between nature and human beings. We actively study Zhouyi and popularize its broad spirit, not only to show the wisdom of China ancients to the world, but also for the future peace and happiness of mankind. So I think it is very meaningful to calm down and seriously study Zhouyi!

Comments on Zhouyi (6)

Today, with the development of modern science and technology, the feudal system has been abolished continuously, but a culture contrary to the trend of the times has emerged. With the progress of modern people's thinking, they began to explore the spiritual food left by their ancestors. Zhu said: I don't know what is easy, and I can't learn it. Laozi got the body of Yi, and Mencius used Yi. However, we still have too many questions about this book which represents China's ancient philosophy. Without Ceng Laoshi's guidance, I may not be able to express myself, and it is useless.

First of all, I clarified the misunderstanding in my mind for many years. I used to think that the Book of Changes was used for fortune telling, but Ceng Laoshi gave me a good explanation: the words in the Book of Changes are only for your reference, not for judging your right or wrong. Everything in life is: when it is true, it is false. Sometimes it's not credible. What is worked out is the reference tool that God gave you. You can use it or not, just use it according to your personal environment.

The Book of Changes tells us that everything has two sides: yin and yang, so people live and think alike. The so-called yin and yang are opposite sides. It can't be too cloudy or too sunny. Because extremes meet, and everything is in balance. Everything is both opposite and unified, and they alternate with each other.

Ceng Laoshi said that the significance of studying the Book of Changes lies in correcting specious ideas, in mystery and morality, and in seeking common ground while reserving differences. What is Tao? Tao is the law of nature, and everything grows and matures in the law of nature, while the Book of Changes is a system developed according to nature, so it is most appropriate to compare the good, evil, beauty and ugliness in our hearts with nature.

Ceng Laoshi talked about the three talents of heaven and earth. There is a picture of three talents in Yi Zhuan, in which the upper sun is the sky, the lower yin is the earth, and people are between heaven and earth. The picture frame is round, so it is also called the unity of heaven and man, which means that people are in harmony with the universe.

The change of gossip has been mentioned in Quotations: gossip is in a column, and like is in it. Combine rigidity with softness, and change it. It means: gossip is arranged in an array, and everything between heaven and earth has changed in it; Eight diagrams overlap into sixty-four hexagrams, among which three hundred and eighty-four are stubborn; After softening, the reason for change is all in it. This shows the broadness of Zhouyi and its philosophical thought of deep fear.

However, Ceng Laoshi also said that everyone is only right in part, and it is hard to say that it is complete. Therefore, to study the Book of Changes, we should be broad and inclusive, and treat each other with respect. The above is just a new understanding, which is not perfect. What's more, the Book of Changes requires people to be more holy, and the world has established three ancient times. How do you feel now? It's so embarrassing.

Notes on Zhouyi (7)

By chance, I came into contact with Zhouyi. Twenty years ago, there was an article saying that China's Zhouyi was the father of binary system. Without Zhouyi, computers might have been invented many years later. I work in radio, and binary is the basis of numerical control. In my knowledge, at that time, I just heard some old people say that Zhouyi was a fortune-telling book. How can it be associated with computers and binary systems? So, I found a book of changes to read. The relationship between Zhouyi and binary is very simple and will soon be understood.

However, there are many mysteries and deep philosophies, but I still don't understand them. In order to understand, I later read many versions of Zhouyi. Although I haven't read it too deeply, I have some small experiences after reading it for many years, so I will record them here for you to share.

What kind of book Zhouyi is is being studied and discussed all over the world. This book covers everything, including astronomy, history, military affairs, philosophy and so on. Just like many people are studying A Dream of Red Mansions now, different world views lead to different research results. I am not an expert in this field, let alone research, but I think the words and philosophy in the book are worth reading and playing.

The ancients said: You can't get married without reading Zhouyi. This statement has its own reasons and basis. Throughout the history of our country, Jiang Ziya, Sean, Zhuge Liang and other famous military strategists, including Mao Zedong, a great man in modern times, all have deep research and attainments in Zhouyi.

I read the Book of Changes. Although I don't know anything, I also realize that some of them are human nature. Like the first divination in the book? Fuck? Gua, made for the sky, said that a gentleman should be virtuous. Self-improvement? This is a warning to us, do everything from beginning to end, don't give up halfway; Or say? Don't use hidden dragons? In other words, don't be strong in everything, do what you can, do what you can, and never do what you can't. The popular explanation is that guns are big birds; ? Kun? Gua, Kun is the land, is it for us to imitate the virtue of the land? Hyun-hye, carrying things? This is to teach us to be broad-minded and not to haggle over every ounce; ? Constant? Gua, a copula said by Confucius? The way of husband and wife can't be achieved overnight. Give it perseverance? This is to teach us how to be a good couple, and the formation of husband and wife must be continuous. Constant? ; ? Hey? Melon, there is an image of a waitress, which means a woman's lewdness. Let's? Don't marry this girl? ; What else is there? Is it very Thai? This idiom also comes from Zhouyi; Is there one in Zhouyi? Negative? And then what? Ty divination means things in the world? Can't it be settled? To a certain extent, it is bound to get better. The cathode must be reversed and the anode must come? The truth is to tell us that as long as we persist in everything, there is hope for success; This is also in line with Marxist philosophy, and the quantitative change of things will inevitably achieve qualitative change. To be a man or to do something, we must master it. Degree? What do you mean, don't experience anything? Degree? , too? Degree? Then it will definitely cause changes in the opposite direction.

In the book Zhouyi, the whole book runs through a? Bit? The concept of. Especially the copula made by Confucius? Bit? The relationship between them is more elaborated. The main reason is that heaven is humble, do you have it? Jun? I have a minister? Bit? ; Including every hexagram, there are? Bit? The relationship. Although this is our critical feudal thought, it is always right in today's society? Bit? Requirements. What do you mean by being a man? Bit? Is it gone? Bit? What should be said, what should be done, what should not be said and what should not be done will be counterproductive. This is a key link in our life and work.

If someone simply regards Zhouyi as a fortune-telling book, I think it is all wet. Yes, Zhouyi involves fortune telling, but fortune telling or prediction is only a small aspect of this book. I don't object to fortune telling, but you can't all believe in fate. Now, sometimes, I do some math. That's when I am hesitant or confused about something. I'll do it myself. If the divination says yes, I will do it with confidence. When I am not good at math, I will calmly consider the process and result of things, and I will do it rationally. Don't think it's wrong to stop doing things if you don't calculate well. There are many things. Who are we? Are you involved? In the process of participation, you can also learn a lot.
