What does the word "Yi" in Zhouyi mean?

It has three main meanings:

1. Yi first of all means simplicity. The so-called Dao is the most simple, and the Eight Diagrams hang an image to tell the story;

2. Easy means change. Things are constantly running and developing and will never remain unchanged;

3. Easy means hard to change. The Book of Changes contains a few simple symbols. The laws of movement between heaven and earth! Only those who have mastered its essence can predict accurately!

Extended information:

There are different interpretations of the word "Zhouyi", but there are two main types: one is that "Zhouyi" is a divination book of the Zhou Dynasty; the other is that "The Book of Changes" is a book about changes, and the translation of The Book of Changes in English takes this meaning.

The Book of Changes, also known as the Book of Changes, is divided into the Jing Department and the Zhuan Department. The original name of the Jing Department is the Zhou Yi, which reveals and explains the typical symbolism of the four hundred and fifty hexagrams of the Yi hexagram. Corresponding to the judgment of good or bad luck, the biography includes "Wenyan", "Tuan Zhuan" upper and lower, "Xiang Zhuan" upper and lower, "Xici Zhuan" upper and lower, "Shuo Gua Zhuan", "Xu Gua Zhuan" and "Miscellaneous Gua Zhuan". ***Seven kinds of ten articles, called "Ten Wings", are Confucian disciples' annotations to the "Book of Changes" scriptures and discussions on the principles and functions of divination.
