China people are the best at improvising and coping with changes with the same. China's philosophy holds that since man is a part of nature and nature is also a part of man, it is normal to achieve the state of "harmony between man and nature". It is also reasonable to believe that human beings can predict the future of human beings according to the changes in nature. The Book of Changes is the best example of this cultural tendency.
Because of its cultural connotation, Zhouyi has been regarded as a "book of saints" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Through the study of Zhouyi, people not only absorbed many valuable factors, but also gradually formed a special knowledge-Yi-ology.
Year after year, from generation to generation, I have gone through different stages and given birth to various schools. The book Zhouyi has also been circulated for a long time, and it has a long history. At the same time, the Book of Changes is spreading in the folk, which has become a guideline for guiding people's lives and regulating human words and deeds, and a guide for people to observe and analyze problems. For a long time, intellectuals in China often use the world outlook embodied in Zhouyi to understand and explain this changeable and colorful world.
And the people at the lower level, more from the perspective of "easy to use", use it to doubt and seek guidance in action, so everyone in China, no matter what your attitude towards Zhouyi is, is "scientific" or "superstitious". You have to admit that The Book of Changes has a wide influence among China people. It surpasses anyone and any book in history. Isn't such a large-scale cultural phenomenon worthy of our study and meditation?
Until today, Zhouyi still occupies an important position in our lives. Some people call it "the knowledge of life, the truth of the universe, the wisdom of culture and the source of value." Some people praised it as "the algebra of the universe" and "the jewel in the crown of science"
In a word, the Book of Changes contains rich and profound thoughts in the form of divination, and the obscure words shine with wisdom. It is not only an important source of China traditional culture, but also a typical symbol of Chinese civilization. If you think that you know everything by understanding the Book of Changes, it is certainly groundless, but if you ignore its value and blindly dismiss it as feudal superstition, it will be even more stupid and ignorant.
