The metaphysical is called the Tao, and the metaphysical is called the tool - it has nothing to do with philosophical terminology
The relevant information generally refers to the "metaphysical" in "Book of Changes·Xici" "The Tao, what is metaphysical is called a tool." This sentence is proposed to be translated separately. It is believed that "metaphysical and metaphysical" are ancient Chinese philosophical terms; the law is intangible, which is called metaphysics; the things used by utensils are tangible, which is called metaphysics. .
It is most taboo to interpret ancient texts out of context. This copula is a sentence in the last paragraph of "Copula", and it is preceded by the word "reason".

Confucius said: "The sage establishes ⑸ images ⑹ to ⑺ express ⑻ meaning, sets up ⑼ hexagrams ⑽ to indulge ⑾ false ⑿, and how can the words be used to express what he says... Therefore, what is ⒀ and ⒁ above ⒂ is called ⒃'s ⒄ way ⒅ , the metaphysics ⒆ is called the utensil ⒇,...
The translation teacher said: "It is impossible for a certain monograph to record all the content that the author wants to express, so what is recorded cannot be what the author wants to express. the entire content of the expression. "In this case, can't we fully see the content that the sage who compiled the "Book of Changes" wanted to express? The teacher said: "The sage who compiled the "Book of Changes" decided to use models to illustrate the content he wanted to express to the maximum extent, and created the A set of predetermined symbols used in fortune-telling are used to reflect the changes in events to the greatest extent, and the words connected with the fortune-telling symbols are used to express his opinions to the maximum extent. …So models can be admired because they can play a guiding role, and models can be published in the Sutra because they are valued. ….
