Wang Bi is a Yi-ology scholar. Brilliant from an early age, he has been reading extensively since he was a teenager, and he is very interested in the study of Laozi and Zhuangzi. Dragon is good at talking about Confucianism and Taoism. When Shang Xuan talks about it, he can only avoid it by arguing. Official to business, 24 years old. His works include Laozi's Notes, Zhouyi's Notes, Zhouyi's Simple Examples, Zhouyi's Poor Comments, Yi Debate and Zhouyi's Debate, the last three of which have been lost. Although Zhouyi was originally a book of divination, it contains rich philosophical thoughts. Confucius praised the Book of Changes and wrote Ten Wings, expounding its philosophical connotation, but it did not completely eliminate the superstitious color of the Book of Changes. "When the Qin Dynasty banned books, I Ching was good at divination alone" (Hanshu Scholars) illustrates this point. In the Han Dynasty, the School of Elephant Mathematics rose, and famous Confucian classics masters such as Fang Jing, Zheng Xuan, Ma Rong and Yu Fan founded the theories of divination, divination and meditation, and introduced disasters to explain the Book of Changes, which was farther and farther away from the study of Confucius and completely deviated from the philosophical thought of the Book of Changes, which led the development of the Book of Changes to the wrong path of superstition. Wang Bi strongly rejected the discussion of Confucianism and advocated the theory of righteousness, which changed the research atmosphere of Zhouyi. Jing Yi Kao quoted Huang Zongyan as saying in Volume 10: "When Fu Si was born in the Han Dynasty, he was far-fetched and rigid when he saw the image, and he obeyed the holy religion. He began to clean up everything, and he was enlightened by righteousness, which made the world look brand-new and the holy road see again. "
Wang Bi's Annotation to the Book of Changes includes the classic parts, namely, the hexagrams of sixty-four hexagrams and the classical Chinese, haiku and iconography in his biography. In Jin Dynasty, Han inherited Wang Bi's thoughts and continued to annotate Shuo Gua, Xu Gua and Za Gua. When the Five Classics of Justice was revised in the Tang Dynasty, it was published with Korean annotations and Wang annotations.
There are many versions of Zhouyi annotated by Wang Bi, such as four series of photocopies of Song edition and thirteen classics of Ruan Yuan School. 1980, The Annotations of Zhouyi were included in Lou Yulie's Collation and Interpretation of Wang Bi's Collection published by Zhonghua Book Company, and were briefly collated and interpreted. To sum up, Wang Bi's contribution to the study of the Book of Changes is mainly in two aspects: First, he thoroughly criticized the object mathematics. The simple example of Zhouyi states: "Touch can be its image, and harmony can be its target. If healthy qi lies in health, why bother? If the class goes well, why bother? Why do Kun He want to be a cow? Healthy qi should be healthy, why be a horse? Or the horse insists on doing it, and the text is responsible for divination. It is false to say that carelessness is difficult to discipline if there are horses that don't do it. The absence of mutual body leads to the change of divination; Become insufficient and lead five elements. Losing the original intention is a clever metaphor. " Secondly, Wang Bi developed Confucius' Book of Changes. Clearly put forward some famous conclusions, such as "forgetting the words after getting the image", "forgetting the image with pride", "timely, stubborn and time-changing" (Zhouyi is a simple example, and the divination adapts to changes), which enriches and perfects the theoretical system of the Yi School.
But on the whole, Wang Bi attached great importance to Yi's school of form and meaning, which had a great influence on later generations. The evaluation of the Summary of the General Contents of Sikuquanshu is fair: "In all fairness, Bi and Bi have made great contributions to clarifying the meaning of the Book of Changes and making it uncomplicated and difficult to understand; Ancestors' nothingness makes them easy to become Zhuang zi, and Bi Kangbai is helpless. Yu Yu does not hide it, this is his evaluation. " It is wrong for Han Shaozhi to attach importance to literature and art, cultivate a scholar and recruit him as a writer. Jian Wendi lives in San Francisco and is invited as a guest. Later, he served as the magistrate, official minister and general of Zhang Yu. Forty-nine people died. On the basis of Wang Bi's Notes on the Book of Changes and A Brief Example of the Book of Changes, Han further rejected the number of images and said the Book of Changes from the perspective of righteousness, which made positive contributions to the development of the study of the Book of Changes. Its shortcoming, that is, Wang Yi's words quoted in the sixty-ninth volume of Jing Yi Kao are "rough and groundless", but after all, it does not hide its flaws.
Wang Bi's seven volumes of Notes on Zhouyi are recorded in the New Tang Dynasty Book of Arts and Records and the Old Tang Dynasty Book of Classics, which is a combination of six volumes of Notes on Zhouyi and Zhouyi Simple Examples. Wang Jian's "Seven Records" called Wang Bi's "Notes on Zhouyi" as ten volumes, which combined Wang's and Han's books into one. Confucius combined the notes of the king and the king into justice, which was popular, but was abandoned by the philosophers. There are Zhao Fan's classic edition in Ming Dynasty, Ming Min's edition, Ancient Notes on Thirteen Classics, Yue's edition imitated by Wu Yingtang in Qing Dynasty, and Selected Notes on Thirteen Classics in Gu Lou. Income Zhonghua Book Company, 1980 edition, edited and interpreted by Wang Bi.
② Six volumes. Written by Li Shizhen in Qing Dynasty. Li Shizhen was born in Tianjin. Guangxu Chen Geng (1880) was a scholar. From official to Bachelor of Science in imperial academy. This book only focuses on the upper and lower classics, not as good as the ten wings. Maybe a book. In the book, I understand Xiao Chang according to the classics, quote many quotations from Song people, and attach my own income, which has become a family statement. The book has never been published, only found in Zhou Fu's Book of Changes. There is a family manuscript.
