The Book of Changes was written by Zhou Wenwang Jichang.

The Book of Changes, one of the Three Changes of the Book of Changes (another view: the Book of Changes is three changes, not the Book of Changes), is one of the traditional classics. It is said that it was written by Zhou Wenwang Jichang, and its contents include the Book of Changes and the Book of Changes. Classics are mainly composed of 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams, each of which has its own interpretation (hexagrams) for divination. It contains seven languages * * * and ten quatrains explaining hexagrams, which are collectively called Ten Wings. It is said that it was written by Confucius.

History:

"Historical Records" records that "King Wen was arrested and went to Zhouyi". It is said that Wen Wang is good at acting Zhouyi, and today's Zhouyi has the finishing power of Wen Wang, from which we can see some political ideas of Wen Wang.

According to legend, in ancient times, Fu created the Innate Yi (innate gossip), Shennong created the Lianshan Yi (Lianshan Bagua) and Xuanyuan created the Guizang Yi (Guizang Bagua). Later, it is said that after careful study, King Wen standardized and sorted it out, and interpreted it as 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams. With divination and diction, it is called Zhouyi.

It uses simple images and numbers, and the opposite changes of Yin and Yang to explain all kinds of complex social phenomena, and displays thousands or even infinite numbers, which has the characteristics of using few to show many, using simplicity to show many and being full of changes.

The Book of Changes, which has been handed down to this day, was formed through the deduction and deduction of Duke Zhou and Confucius in later generations. Through the inheritance of scholars and ruling classes in past dynasties, Zhouyi, the king of literature, has become the Bible of China, the source of a hundred schools of thought, and even people's daily life.
