What is the book of changes written? The Book of Changes, one of the three changes, is a traditional masterpiece of China. It is said that it was written by Zhou Wenwang Jichang, and its contents can be divided into two parts: The Book of Changes and Biography. The classics are mainly composed of 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams, mainly about divination. Biography is mainly written to explain the contents of the hexagrams in the classics. It is said that it was written by Confucius. It is worth mentioning that the original Book of Changes did not actually put forward the concepts of Yin and Yang and Tai Chi. As for why the source of Yin and Yang gossip is the Book of Changes, it is mainly because the Book of Changes is influenced by Taoism and Yin and Yang, so Yin and Yang and Tai Chi came into being.
The so-called "sixty-four hexagrams" in the Yin and Yang Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes are composed of two eight diagrams, and the eight diagrams are composed of two Yin and Yang. It talks about great wisdom in the form of hexagrams. It thinks that the universe and the world are interrelated and moving, and the reason for the change of the universe movement comes from the promotion of yin and yang forces in the universe, which is thousands of years earlier than modern dialectical materialism.
The influence of Zhouyi on later generations: Feng Shui;
The theory of yin and yang gossip in Zhouyi can be said to be the basis of the formation of geomantic omen. In addition, the study of "Yin-Yang, Five Elements and Geography" in Huainanzi Geography of Han Dynasty also played an important role in the development of geomantic omen.
In mathematics:
Mathematician Leibniz found that gossip is related to the eighth-order matrix in mathematics. Sixty-four hexagrams are the complete binary numbers of 64 natural numbers from 0 to 63. He put forward the binary algorithm, which promoted the emergence of computers.
Medical aspects:
Yi-ology expounds the theory of the change of yin and yang, while TCM studies the mechanism of the rise and fall of yin and yang in human body. They have similarities in epistemology and methodology. Because it is easy to have the principle and use of medicine, it is also called "homology of medicine and medicine"
