What's the use of learning the Book of Changes?

Question 1: What's the use of reading the Book of Changes? Seeing people and things is a unique skill of China traditional culture. Although many methods have been used since ancient times, they are all closely combined with the Book of Changes. Many friends at home and abroad want to learn from Dr. Zheng to look at people and things, and Dr. Zheng is naturally willing to teach. However, judging people and things is a comprehensive course, in other words, not only your theoretical basis, but also your "clinical experience". And this premise is your understanding of the Book of Changes, whether it is thorough or half-baked. The Book of Changes is the oldest and most profound classic in China, and it is the crystallization of China's wisdom and culture for 5,000 years. Known as "the head of the group classics and the source of the avenue". In ancient times, it was the study of emperors and a required skill for politicians, strategists and businessmen. The Book of Changes is essentially a book about divination. "Divination" is to predict the development of future events, and The Book of Changes is a book that summarizes the laws and theories of these predictions. "The Unity of Heaven and Man" is a way of thinking in the universe, the most important concept in the philosophical thought system of Zhouyi, and also an important concept in the traditional culture of China. Dr. Zheng studied philosophy for ten years, 1992 Ph.D., Department of Philosophy, Renmin University of China. His 200,000-word doctoral thesis also explores the theory of human irrational behavior from the important concept of "the unity of man and nature". Dr. Zheng believes that the highest ideal of Yijing is to realize the realm of "harmony between man and nature". In the Book of Changes, Gan and Kun are used to represent heaven and earth, and heaven and earth represent nature. In the Book of Changes, everything in heaven and earth is "unified" in heaven, and heaven and earth complement each other and are indispensable. But after all, the earth is "obedient to the sky", so the sky can represent the whole nature. Although man is born to be the place of heaven and earth, he is only a natural member of all things, but he is different from all things after all. Because people have the nature of "benevolence and righteousness" and the principle of "life", this determines that people have a sacred mission in all things in the world. When people remove various social roles, they are reduced to the most basic people-a man and a woman, or a woman and a man. The copula says, "One yin and one yang is the way". Yin and Yang is one of the important thoughts of China's ancient philosophy, and it is also the overall philosophical thought of Yijing, which is the core of its connotation. So, what is Yin and Yang? In nature, it is heaven and earth, in the sky, the sun and the moon, in the earth, mountains and water, in human beings, men and women. This is actually "Yi". In other words, the Book of Changes holds that there are opposites in both social life and natural phenomena, and this opposition is "Yin and Yang". Recently, the media broke the news that the architectural style of the new CCTV building is yin and yang, and friends can find it online, which is quite ironic. If you simply say, one woman and one man, one yin and one yang, you can form "Yi". The Eight Diagrams in the Book of Changes: Gan, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Hui, respectively represent eight natural phenomena of heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain and ze, so as to infer the changes of nature and society. These eight hexagrams seem simple, just eight different patterns. In fact, every hexagram has the possibility of infinite change. The combination of eight hexagrams produced 64 more complex patterns. To sum up, all these changes are due to the interaction of yin and yang, which is the foundation of everything. So, what is the spirit of the Book of Changes? Remember, my friends, it's simple: easy, difficult and simple. Regardless of yin and yang or gossip, its first fundamental essence is "change", that is, change, which is also repeatedly advocated by Obama in this speech. However, Dr. Zheng agrees with a statement: the world and life are by no means simple, and it is not accurate to refine life into vitamin C or amino acid 16; Because life is always rich, complex and changeable, only a complex system can contain everything, and this complexity is simple. I ching is very strange. Its 64 hexagrams are exactly the same as the arrangement of 64 human DNA genetic factors. Refine the complex world into eight diagrams or sixty-four hexagrams, which is "simplicity". Simplification, simplicity and abstraction are used as "modeling".

Question 2: What's the use of learning the Book of Changes? First of all, the Book of Changes is the foundation of China's ancient culture. It can be said that the ideological and theoretical starting point of many thinkers in ancient China is the Book of Changes. For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, whether it was the way of Confucius and Mencius, the way of Laozi and Zhuangzi, or the military strategists such as Sun Tzu, whose theoretical basis was the Book of Changes. Confucius once said, "You are not easy to learn, you know nothing."

Secondly, The Book of Changes is one of the masterpieces for people to cultivate their self-cultivation and improve their thinking. Many languages in the Book of Changes are quite profound and thought-provoking. For example, the Book of Changes insists on divination, such as saying that "Heaven is powerful and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement". Consciousness means that heaven runs endlessly according to certain laws, and a gentleman should be as powerful as heaven and constantly pursue progress. The divination that "a gentleman works all day long, and if he hesitates at night, he is completely blameless" means that a gentleman who takes reading as his way should make vigorous progress all day long according to the spirit of doing things day by day. Although at night, he should be as vigilant to himself as during the day, and there will be no mistakes.

Thirdly, I Ching tells us a scientific way of thinking, namely materialist dialectics. For example, its "close body and far body" is not only the secret of the source of the Book of Changes, but also tells us how to think. It is to observe things from the perspective of contact, start from yourself, contact things around you, and be thorough.

Finally, the important role of the Book of Changes in the history of China will be discussed in detail below.

Question 3: What's the use of learning the Book of Changes? There are two schools of the Book of Changes: the liberal arts school and the predictive school. The liberal arts school has been studying the theoretical things of the Book of Changes, and the predictive school has been studying the application of the Book of Changes in real life, such as measuring marriage, wealth and health.

Question 4: What must I learn first to learn the Book of Changes? Learn to be reasonable first.

Question 5: What's the use of learning the Book of Changes? I suggest you go to the lecture hall and read The Mystery of the Book of Changes by Professor Ceng Shiqiang of Taiwan Province Province. Every episode is interesting. After reading it, you will know what the role of learning the Book of Changes is. My dad watched my house at first, and then the whole family watched it together. It was good. Even if you don't study the Book of Changes, reading this will help you.

Question 7: It is very important to learn what books to read and what books to have to guide the road correctly!

Choosing a book is like choosing a teacher, so choosing a book is a very important thing. Here, I recommend relevant books to you, so that you can avoid detours and become a master!

Important warning

Yi-ology and Buddhist scriptures are mazes. You must learn how to go out after entering the door. Just as Mr. Zi Qin Tian mentioned "information confrontation: life is getting thinner, know life, know life" in "Principles of Taiji Game", in fact, the present is the most real, and what people have to overcome is the influence of future information on the present! Many people can understand a little and think that the world is invincible, but if the future information is not 100% accurate, it is misleading. I'm most afraid of a three-point vacation. People will still be confused, hesitate and miss.

In addition, it is easy to say: if you know, you should also know the loss. When you get something, you also lose something. It is true that, in a sense, there is no absolute good, bad, good and evil in life, but your choice. Why do you need special reminders? Because there are many friends in contact in reality, once you learn something easy and practice some skills, you can't care about other aspects, which will have some bad effects on your family and society. As the old saying goes: A normal mind is the Tao! Don't flaunt yourself as different, or you will accomplish nothing. To understand that you are only human, don't think that learning easily is great. Law, husband and wife, wealth and land (in short, methods, peers, financial resources and environment) are the best guidance for learning the Book of Changes. Don't expect to get rich easily, or you will go to the road of no return. There's a reason why people do this for a living. Brahma said: success and failure, gains and losses should be treated equally. Be swayed by considerations of gain and loss is not the mentality of a studious person. Work hard, bring home the bacon, study in my spare time and lead an ordinary life. This is my teacher's enlightenment and guidance, and I hope Yiyou can also get inspiration from it!

Finally, I encourage you with one sentence: Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement; The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with morality! All good deeds are secondary, and all evil deeds are the most important!

1, basic book

(1) Zhouyi original note:

It is impossible to understand thoroughly without reading the original Zhouyi. The more solid the foundation, the greater the help for later study.

It is suggested that the Introduction to Zhouyi written by Liu Dajun, president of China Yijing Association and professor of philosophy, be adopted. Zhouyi published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, Commercial Press and other big publishing houses is more reliable.

The original Book of Changes published by the Children's Classic Reading Guidance Center advocated by Teacher Nan can help you to know and understand some difficult words.

(2) The essence of the integration of Zhouyi thoughts:

It should be said that at present, only Zi Qin Tian's book "The Principle of Taiji Game" can do this, and there is no explanation of divinatory symbols in the book. But for a scholar who has studied Zhouyi for decades, after reading this book, it should be understood that it actually contains the deduction process of Zhouyi, that is, even if you don't know Zhouyi and haven't read the books related to Zhouyi, you can cultivate the thoughts of Zhouyi from it, and you will have a unified idea for understanding all cultures (metaphysics and Yi Studies) and enhance the sixth sense judgment. It can be said that the research significance of this book is very precious! It is suggested to study in the initial, advanced and self-sublimation stages.

2. Yi Li and six hexagrams of plum blossom

If you don't know Yi Li, you can't really improve your skills. Learning Li Yi helps you understand the purpose of your study.

(1) Yi Li class

Zhang Yansheng is a master of Yi-ology, and Zhang Yansheng's works (Introduction to Yi-ology, Yi-ology Application, Yi-ology Imagery, Yi-ology Harmony, Yi-ology Mind, Yi-ology Spirit) are the first choice for the study of Yi-ology, but it is a pity that I believe there are not many works that I can really understand.

I suggest reading some photocopies of ancient books published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House and Zhonghua Book Company, which are more authentic.

(2) Plum blossom

You can read The Book of Changes of Plum Blossoms in ancient books, The Principle of Taiji Game in modern times, The Soul of Jian Huang, South Beauty by Deng Haiyi and Taiwan Province Liang Xiang Runhe, all of which are worth reading.

(3) Six hexagrams

There are many quintessences of six hexagrams in ancient books, especially Seven Classics and Changes of Sounds, Authentic Divination, Addition and Deletion of Divination, Addendum to Yilin, Yi Mao, Huozhulin and Duan Yi Tianji.

Recommended Bibliography: Chen Yuan's Introduction to Prediction of Zhouyi, Prediction of Zhouyi or Lecture Notes on Prediction of Zhouyi, Introduction to Six Predictors.

Duan Yi on Takashima, written by the Japanese, is a must-read for overseas study of Liu Yi and Yi Li. The author and translator are both high-level.
