Fan Ceng on Chinese Studies: Is the Book of Changes a book of divination or a book of philosophy?

It is both a book of divination and a book of philosophy.

Fu looked up at astronomy, looked down at geography, took things far away, painted gossip and summarized the laws of nature, which was later summarized by many sages such as Duke Zhou, his son and Confucius.

It is through these natural laws that divination can be carried out.

For example, observing the sky, stars, clouds and so on. Predicting the weather and inferring a person's fortune by looking at people's faces are not superstitions, but laws summarized by countless ancient sages through a large number of experiments.

From a mathematical point of view, this is statistics, Buffon's needle throwing experiment. You should know that every needle throwing experiment is random, but after a certain number of times, its probability is really fixed, as well as the uncertainty principle in physics, Maxwell equation and so on.

Many of them are regular, but many of them cannot be proved by mathematics.
