The Book of Changes is also called the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes wrote, "Man is more holy, and the world is three ancient". The three saints are Fuxi, King Wen and Confucius. The Book of Changes originated from Fuxi, who observed the images in the sky, the dharma, water, fire, wind, thunder, mountains, Ze, and everything near and far, so he wrote gossip. Zhou Wenwang went to prison and played Yi Fuxi's gossip, that is, innate gossip was the gossip of the day after tomorrow, and the gossip was promoted to sixty-four hexagrams; Finally, Confucius wrote the Book of Changes, which is what we see now.
Confucius said in The Biography of Eight Diagrams that Gan Kun was his parents and gave birth to three men and three women, which is the Eight Diagrams. Father lives in the northwest, mother lives in the southwest, eldest son lives in the east, eldest daughter lives in the southeast, second son lives in the north, second daughter lives in the south, boys live in the northeast and girls live in the west.
I ching is profound, extensive and all-encompassing. Confucianism and Taoism, which have the greatest influence on China's culture, both have ideological systems from the Book of Changes. Starting with divination, Confucianism advocates the vigorous characteristics of self-improvement, so as to interpret its views on life, society, country and even everything. Taoist theory starts with Kun Gua, and discusses the character of virtue and carrying things, so as to deduce the views on life, society, country and even everything. But extremely dry and yin, Kun extremely yang, indicating that things can not be extreme, things must be reversed. Although Confucianism and Taoism have different arguments, the results are the same. The motto of Tsinghua University, an authoritative educational institution in China, also comes from two hexagrams in the Book of Changes, namely, "Heaven is strong, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement" (dry hexagrams) and "The terrain is rich, and a gentleman carries things with morality" (Kun hexagrams). "Constantly strive for self-improvement, cherish virtue and carry things" brilliantly summarizes the relationship and dialectical treatment of China culture to man and nature, man and society, and man and man. In fact, "self-improvement, kindness and morality" has long constituted the national spirit and character of the Chinese nation.
The Book of Changes is a book about change and an ancient and magical treasure house of wisdom. With the development of society and the emphasis on traditional culture, The Book of Changes will be recognized by more and more people. The Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences began to recruit graduate students of "The Book of Changes and Prediction" in 20 14, and there have been many questions about the Book of Changes in the college entrance examination in recent years. 20 19 the graduate school of Chinese academy of social sciences listed "the book of changes and prediction" as a doctoral student in 20 19. This news reflects that China Academy of Social Sciences, as the authoritative organization of the government in the field of humanities and social sciences, has re-examined the academic status and influence of "Zhouyi Prediction", incorporated it into the discipline system, and began to focus on cultivating talents who can master Zhouyi Prediction. The Book of Changes, as the research direction of prediction, was listed under the philosophy major of China, and it first appeared in the enrollment plan of the national authoritative university. The prophecy in Zhouyi is no longer a superstitious deception circulating in the Jianghu in the eyes of some people.
Modern medicine, astronomy, meteorology, chemistry, mathematics, music and so on in China are all developed in the knowledge system of the Book of Changes.
For a long time, the Book of Changes has been valued not only by China people, but also by other countries-the pattern of the Korean national flag (Tai Chi flag) and the Tai Chi map in the Mongolian national flag are both from the Book of Changes.
Since17th century, The Book of Changes has also been translated into many versions and moved overseas, which has attracted great attention from people of insight all over the world. It not only promotes the exchange and development of Chinese and western cultures, but also poses new challenges to the western civilization system and injects new vitality.
1626, Zhouyi was translated into Latin by French missionary Genig; 191on October 30th, the French missionary Jean Baptiste Regis published the first book of changes, which systematically introduced China's oldest Latin. Since then, the Book of Changes has entered the palace of world science and culture, and set off a wave of Yi-ology around the world. Since then, China's thoughts have penetrated into the cultural heritage of all nationalities in the world.
The famous German philosopher Hegel said, "The Book of Changes represents the wisdom of the people of China. My biggest regret in this life is that I didn't fully understand China's Book of Changes. "
In his magnum opus History of Science and Technology in China, Dr Joseph Needham, a famous British scientist, praised ancient China as "the cradle of world civilization" and called Zhouyi "the treasure house of all concepts".
Christopher Badtke, a British scholar, once said, "The Book of Changes is surprisingly close to the truth. What is even more surprising is that all the secrets of life on earth are closely related to the structure of the Book of Changes". Sixty-four hexagrams strictly correspond to sixty-four DNA coding factors in the genetic code. The four pairs of basic groups (eight numbers) coincide with the gossip of four yin and four yang, while the 384 yin-yang key fits perfectly with the 384 yin-yang key in Zhouyi.
Bohr, a Danish master of quantum physics, discovered the principle of "harmony" all his life, which coincides with the principle of "yin and yang complement" in the Book of Changes and has profound internal commonalities. In order to reward his special contribution, the King of Denmark designed Artechitu pattern on the medal of honor awarded to him.
1705 someone wrote: "China people lost the true meaning of the six thoughts, and a European genius rediscovered this knowledge for them." Leibniz, the last generalist in European history and a great philosopher, mathematician, logician, historian and linguist during the German Enlightenment, used the example of Interpretation of Binary Operation published by 1703 to show the corresponding relationship between Fuxi's innate eight diagrams and the binary representation of eight numbers from 0 to 703. Leibniz regards binary as "universal language", but his binary system can't be related to the acquired gossip, so he has to come to the conclusion that the connotation of gossip is far from being completely simulated by the binary digital system.
Modern computer science and Internet have proved the great significance of Leibniz binary system, which uses binary representation and algorithm to process and transmit information.
Inspired by the Book of Changes, Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung put forward the "simultaneity principle" with great theoretical value. Jung pointed out that the principle of simultaneity can be proved by psychoanalytic cases, mainly because the Book of Changes provides the most perfect theoretical basis. He said: "It is really strange that a talented and intelligent nation like China has not developed what we call science."
Chinese physicists Li Zhengdao and Yang Zhenning, inspired by the growth and decline principle of Yin and Yang in the Book of Changes, discovered the law of parity non-conservation under the condition of weak interaction.
Charles Wilheim, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, commented on China's Book of Changes: "The knowledge economy is changing our times, but many people don't know that this revolution, which has brought us great impact, really benefited from the great classic Book of Changes in ancient China. The information theory thought contained in the Book of Changes not only inspired our scientists to create computers, but also became a decision-making guide for more and more westerners in their daily lives. "
The Book of Changes is a treasure house to unlock the secrets of the universe and life. Its form of expression is gossip, and its core is yin and yang and five elements. Yin and Yang are two forces of unity of opposites in the world. The five elements "wood, fire, earth, gold and water" are the five basic substances that make up the universe. Yin-yang and five elements belong to the relationship between form and content, that is, the content of Yin-yang is reflected by images such as wood, fire, earth, gold and water, and the five elements belong to the existing form of Yin-yang content. The Book of Changes is about the laws of Yin and Yang of everything in the universe.
Maintaining the balance of yin and yang in the five elements is the magic weapon to win the Book of Changes and the foundation to obtain the harmonious vitality of all things. Life is produced by the movement and gasification of yin and yang. Take human beings for example, the meaning of the balance of Yin and Yang in life is the balance of viscera, cold and heat, and qi and blood. The five internal organs are yin and the six internal organs are yang; Cold is yin and heat is yang; Blood is yin and qi is yang. Liver and gallbladder belong to wood, heart, small intestine and triple energizer belong to fire, spleen and stomach belong to earth, lung and large intestine belong to gold, and kidney and bladder belong to water. If a person's zang-fu organs and Yin-Yang Yang Can are balanced, then his qi and blood will be abundant, his energy will be abundant, his five internal organs will be safe, his five internal organs will be healthy and his six internal organs will be healthy.
The ancients said: know life can be carefree. So how to "know life"? The fate of life will be revealed in the auspicious year of eight characters, which contains all aspects of life information. From the eight characters, you can accurately predict the good and bad information of yourself and your loved ones in different Universiade, and you can accurately depict specific things. We can also look at the feng shui environment in which we live through the eight characters, which will directly affect the fate of life.
Everything in the world is changing, only the heaven itself remains unchanged, so the change of things must follow the law of the operation of heaven. Learning the Book of Changes is to master this law, use this law, conform to heaven, nature, heaven, humanity, seek good fortune and avoid evil, and live a better life!
