What do you mean by "feeling and understanding the world without thinking, acting and moving"?

Without thinking, doing nothing, being silent, feeling and understanding the world means: without thinking, you can't do a certain job, and without moving, you can understand the truth of things in the world as you like.

This sentence comes from the tenth chapter of the Book of Changes, Cohesion and Biography, which was studied by Confucius.

Classical Chinese original:

"Yi" has no thoughts, no actions and is silent, which is a truth to know the world. If it is not the highest god in the world, it can be here. The reason why saints study Yi is very deep. Only deep, it can pass the ambition of the world; There are only a few, so it can become a matter of the world; God is unique, so I'm in no hurry, but I can't. Confucius said, "There are four ways to make the Book of Changes holy." This is also a fact.

Classical Chinese translation:

The Book of Changes itself has no thoughts, no actions, and is very calm and motionless. If people can feel the rise and use it, they will eventually reach all the accidents in the world. If it's not the most amazing and wonderful thing in the world, who can? .

The Book of Changes is an extremely profound and elusive university for saints. It is precisely because of its depth that it can reach the hearts of people all over the world. Because of its unpredictability, it can achieve everything in the world. Just because it's wonderful, it doesn't seem to be quick, but natural and fast, and it seems to be reachable. Confucius said, "There are four ways of being a saint in the Book of Changes", which is what he meant.

Extended data writing background:

The Book of Changes is a book about troubles, a book about moral lessons and a book about gentlemen. Reading the Book of Changes should enhance the moral realm in hardship as a means to turn evil into good.

Creatively expounded and developed the basic principles and cohesion of the Book of Changes. He believes that "one yin and one yang is the Tao", and odd, even, two hexagrams of yin and yang, two hexagrams of Gankun, eight classics and sixty-four hexagrams are all composed of one yin and one yang. Without the opposition of Yin and Yang, there would be no I Ching.

It developed China's ancient concept of Yin and Yang into a systematic world view, and explained all changes in the universe and human society with the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang, Gankun and Rigid and Flexible. It particularly emphasizes the infinite nature of the universe, saying that "the greatness of heaven and earth means life" and "life means easy".

He also put forward the idea of "poverty leads to change, change leads to communication, and the general principle lasts for a long time", played the idea of "extremes meet" and emphasized the sense of hardship of "being prepared for danger in times of peace".

It believes that "the Revolution in the Tang Dynasty was based on nature and people", affirms the significance of change, and advocates continuous self-improvement and accomplishment through change. At the same time, it takes "preserving harmony and harmony" as the highest ideal goal, and inherits China's traditional thought of harmony.
