Introduction to the Book of Changes: How to learn the Book of Changes well?

First of all, how to know:

1, the Book of Changes is called the Book of Changes, but it is not called the Book of Changes, which means that the Book of Changes is easy to learn. If the Book of Changes is described as "difficult to get started, difficult to learn and difficult to master", it means that the general public will be rejected from the Hall of the Book of Changes, but only a few people master the Book of Changes. They are culturally exclusive and self-prominent! What is the Book of Changes? The Book of Changes is the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors. It talks about the objective laws of the universe and is the general source of China culture ... Since the Book of Changes is the general source of China culture, it should belong to the category of culture and should not be defined as science. Just like our Great Wall, Forbidden City, Pingyao Ancient City in Shanxi, Old Town of Lijiang in Yunnan, etc. It is a cultural heritage, but it is not defined as a scientific heritage.

2. At present, experts and professors in the academic circles have mentioned that Yi studies have been divided into Yi School and Image School since ancient times:

3. The study of the Yi-ology theory is mainly carried out from the aspects of literature, history and philosophy.

4. Image-number school, that is, skill-number school, focuses on practical operation and mainly focuses on prediction.

Generally speaking, there are two schools: academic school and folk school. The academic school pays attention to the theoretical study of Yi-ology, while the folk school pays attention to practical prediction, and the latter school accounts for the vast majority of scholars of Yi-ology. In fact, these two factions are biased. The Book of Changes includes principles, images, figures and occupations, most of which are indispensable. Is it called the Book of Changes without one item? Science, image, mathematics and industry must be combined to be a real Yi-ology scholar.

5. The functions of the Book of Changes should be summarized in two aspects: first, epistemology: knowing the universe, knowing human beings and knowing everything. The second is methodology: teaching people how to adapt to nature, transform nature and benefit mankind. Fourth: As the saying goes, "Learn from the Book of Songs to speak, and learn from the Book of Changes to calculate hexagrams." Grandpa Mao said: "The purpose of learning is to apply what you have learned." Yes, the purpose of studying the Book of Changes is to apply what you have learned. Otherwise, why learn it! The most basic function is prediction. A real Yi-ology scholar should not only focus on the macro and overall situation, but also start from the micro and micro!

Secondly, how to learn:

1. If you don't know anything about the Book of Changes, I think Nan, a master of contemporary Chinese studies, has two very good books-Miscellanies of the Book of Changes and Biography of the Book of Changes, which can stimulate students' interest in learning and have a comprehensive and fair understanding of the Book of Changes.

2. Starting from the knowledge of the origin of the Book of Changes, the Book of Changes can be divided into congenital and acquired. The innate Yi is Fuxi Yi. There are no words in the Book of Changes, only eight diagrams, Tai Chi pictures and heavenly stems and earthly branches. The book of Changes written by King Wen, Confucius and Duke Zhou the day after tomorrow represents the understanding of the Book of Changes by Zhou Wenwang, Duke Zhou, Confucius and later generations, but not all. Taiji, Eight Diagrams, Five Elements and Ganzhi are the most basic things in the Book of Changes, especially five lines of gossip.

3. Work hard on Taiji Diagram, Eight Diagrams, Five Elements, and Main Branch System, and memorize the azimuth distribution and restraint relationship.

How to study the Book of Changes;

First, pan-understanding

There are too many easy-to-learn works and famous artists, so I don't need to go into details.

Because the modern books of the Book of Changes are too complicated and have many introductory directions, it is very important to choose a suitable introductory book. I think if you have a foundation in classical Chinese, you can start with the original masterpieces directly. For the books on the market, I recommend the phonetic version of Zhouyi by Southeast University (simple horizontal phonetic version, with phonetic symbols and simple notes, with large words, but the disadvantage is that the well-intentioned illustrations are messy). Another book recommended Zhonghua Book Company to read the Book of Changes (all-purpose books, green books and audio books are available), without interchangeable words and illustrations. No matter which book it is, some controversial words, broken sentences and pronunciations will be different. Start with a book, then read more books and judge for yourself. (for example, changing one's mind: one day/the next day is a blessing, etc. )
