Why do some people say that the Book of Changes is the origin of China culture? What is the spirit of the Book of Changes?

Hello, I'm Chen Xiaohe, and I'll answer this question.

Why do some people say that the Book of Changes is the origin of China culture? What is the spirit of the Book of Changes?

The Book of Changes is a phased summary or achievement of our China culture, which is beyond doubt, but it may be inappropriate to say that it is the source. What did we imitate before I ching? Therefore, it can be said that the Book of Changes is a product of the development of China culture or a staged achievement or summary developed from the origin of China culture, which may be more accurate. At least at that time, rulers and rules were essential.

If we really want to say origin, it is the beginning of the process of wisdom and creation that our ancestors or ancestors of the Chinese nation produced in the process of China's conquest and transformation of nature.

It is said that the Book of Changes has three versions, namely Lianshan (Shennong period), Guizang (Huangdi period) and Zhouyi (Zhou Wenwang to Confucius period). It is said that the first two versions of the Book of Changes have been lost, and now it is the Book of Changes that has been handed down, and the Book of Changes has been inherited from them, so we can understand and peek at them by studying the Book of Changes, so let's focus on the Book of Changes.

Zhouyi, first of all, is a? Tao? Word, heaven, Tao and humanity; Secondly, there are three easy things: simple, changeable and difficult, so I won't discuss them in detail; Thirdly, it is the yin and yang of the unity of opposites, and this yin and yang has levels and degrees; The second time is five lines of gossip, the transformation relationship between each other and each other, and the hexagrams made to explain this basic truth. Of course, people at that time were very familiar with things or phenomena, which may be a little strange to us today.

So the purpose or spirit of studying the Book of Changes is to understand the Dharma, the Tao and then go? Join the road? .

The Book of Changes is an empirical theory summarized by ancient ancestors through their observation of nature and human society in their long-term production and life. It is a summary of philosophical thoughts and can guide the real production and life. Because it comes from practice, it is a high generalization of objective reality, and it comes from practice and goes to practice. Where it is applied, it will produce specific application results according to the specific situation of which aspect. Such as medical care, farming, astronomy, military and so on. What is it called to conform to objective laws? Join the road? . There are simple ancient philosophical thoughts in it, and those pretentious rhetoric has deviated from the foundation of the Book of Changes. Only by respecting the objective reality and inheriting and developing the spirit of the Book of Changes from a scientific perspective is the best inheritance of the Book of Changes. We should keep pace with the times, inherit and develop the essence, discard and discard the dross. Otherwise, it will make a joke of carving a boat for a sword. For example, our current gossip begins with divination and is viewed from the time and space in the northern hemisphere of China. If it is in the southern hemisphere, it may not be appropriate to start with divination. If you don't understand the Yijing mechanically, you will also find the phenomenon of carving a boat for a sword.
