Interpretation: "Respect and inferiority" does not mean respect and inferiority. The sky is above, so we say "respect" and the earth is below, so we say "humble". "Setting" means arranging and forming. Heaven and earth (Gankun) each perform their duties, so it is said that "Gankun must". The sky is above and the earth is below. Is this divination? Everything in the world has just reached its peak.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "respected Confucianism alone" and was known as the first of the Six Classics. Han dynasty is called the era of Confucian classics, and Confucian classics is superior to all academic studies. China's books in past dynasties are divided into four categories: classics, history, books and collections, with classics as the top priority.
The Book of Changes is the first of the Six Classics, and naturally the first of the Classics, which is the first classic of China, and has a great influence. The opportunity for the development of academic thoughts in past dynasties is mostly based on the Book of Changes, and the study of Confucian classics in Han Dynasty is self-evident. Neo-Taoism in Wei and Jin Dynasties talked about metaphysics and listed it as one of the "San Xuan". Without the inspiration of the Book of Changes, the knowledge of the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty could hardly be established.
The Book of Changes not only had a great influence on the development of China's philosophy, but also played a role in the development of various disciplines. The preface of the Confucian classic Book of Changes "The General Catalogue of Sikuquanshu" says: "The Book of Changes covers a wide range, including astronomy, geography, music, art of war, phonetics and arithmetic. For the sake of the fire outside the party, everyone can help the Book of Changes, while those who are good and different can help the Book of Changes. So the Book of Changes is more complicated.
As Xiong Shili, a master of Chinese studies and founder of Neo-Confucianism, said, "All China's academic thoughts are rooted in great changes, which is a great treasure house of wisdom."
