What do the words in the Book of Changes mean?

The Book of Changes is a classic in ancient China. The epigram in it is an explanatory text deduced from hexagrams, which can be used to imply all kinds of good and bad luck, changes, prosperity and adversity. Specifically, each article describes a specific divinatory symbol, which conveys a message to people through the description of the mutual change of Yin and Yang. For example, Kun Gua's speech about the transformation of heaven and earth mentioned that "the sixth day, from the benefit, from the festival, without blame" is the truth that the bud of newborn can only develop steadily if it conforms to nature.

Because each divinatory symbol represents a situation, it has become an important guide for people to face different experiences in life. The language of the Book of Changes grasps the trend of life from a macro perspective, reminding people how to face life difficulties in family, career and feelings, and how to regain confidence and maintain will in adversity. When people lose their way, the words of the Book of Changes are more like auspicious days, so that people who lose confidence can find hope again.

The epigrams of the Book of Changes can also be applied to the process of self-cultivation. With the change of time and experience, we will encounter many positive and negative challenges every day. However, by understanding the information conveyed by the Book of Changes, we can find that when we encounter difficulties in the spiritual level, we need to build up self-confidence, trust and unity, accumulate experience in interpersonal communication step by step, and strive to face challenges in order to resolve the difficulties. In a word, the epigrams in the Book of Changes have certain guiding significance in all aspects of human life and are the enduring spiritual pillar of mankind.
