Notes on Zhouyi (II)

Zhouyi is one of the classical works in China and an important part of China culture. After reading Zhouyi II, I deeply realized that Yi is not only a method of divination, but also a philosophical thought, which can guide our way of life and attitude towards life.

This chapter "The way of heaven and earth can be summed up in one word: If you don't die?" This sentence left a deep impression on me. It tells us that the way of heaven and earth is eternal. It flows like a long river and will not change because of external interference. Similarly, people should follow this stable road in life, pursue inner peace and tranquility, and be free from interference and influence from the external environment.

In addition, I also learned the phrase "the way to rise and fall, the principle of success or failure". It tells us that in life, people will experience all kinds of success or failure experiences, which are all part of the natural way. We should face it with peace of mind, not be too addicted to victory or failure, but take them as experiences and lessons in life.

Generally speaking, some ideas and principles in this chapter have had a profound impact on me, which made me understand the philosophy of Yi more clearly and pointed out the direction for my life.
