"Escape to One" comes from a hexagram in the Book of Changes.
There are two ancient divination methods: divination and divination. The divination is mainly tortoise shell, and the divination is mainly yarrow. The method of divination is explained in detail in the Book of Changes. The method is to take 50 yarrows, leave one unused, and only use 49 divinations. "The number of big swallows is fifty, and it uses nine out of forty." Unused means Tai Chi before the death of heaven and earth, so only forty-nine yarrows are actually used for divination.
It is generally believed that Dayan's number is fifty, so fifty yarrow is taken to represent everything in the world. If you subtract a number, there is a gap, which is 49. Where there is imperfection, there is yin and yang, there is opposition, there is time, and there is dynamic flow caused by imbalance. This is the day after tomorrow.
The "escape from one" in the Book of Changes also means that the world is unpredictable, and the "gap" that people pursue all their lives can only be temporarily satisfied in the symbolic world, but not truly satisfied. This kind of drinking poison to quench thirst has produced a repeated sense of compulsion.

In a more modern way, we can understand the "escaper" like this:
At first, the universe is static, just like tug-of-war, and various forces restrict each other (assuming there are fifty kinds) to maintain the universe unchanged, which is the so-called innate universe.
Suddenly, one of the forces disappeared. Thus, without constant power, we move, resulting in a moving universe, also known as the acquired universe. When the power of the acquired universe changes, it is not equal to the power of the innate universe. (The remaining 49 forces generate infinite forces after exercise. ) Only that escaping force is the force of the universe, that is Tai Chi, the escaping one.
The static innate cosmic force still exists in the moving acquired universe, but we can't find it. Simply put, the innate universe is represented by fifty, and the acquired universe is represented by forty-nine. The power of disappearance is the power of escape. The forty-nine after exercise is different from the original forty-nine. It can merge and cancel each other ... and eventually become infinite, but the one that escapes is constant. )?
In this way, it is easy to understand its realm, because the innate "power" disappears (hides away), and the remaining 49 kinds of power produce infinite power after exercise. Endless-the innate universe always exists, so the "one" that escapes is the same.
