Is the Yi Jing the Yi Jin Jing?

The Book of Changes is a mysterious book in ancient China. Because it was popular in the Zhou Dynasty, it was called the Book of Changes. It is respected by Confucians as the first of the group of scriptures. Judging from its arrangement and text content, it is a book for divination.

This article discusses the Yijing in a broad sense, including the "Yijing" and "Yizhuan"; "Lianshan" and "Guizang" which are only mentioned by name in ancient books (whether they exist in fact or not) will not be discussed.

When Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed Confucian scholars, Li Si secretly included the "Book of Changes" in the book of medical divination and survived.

Regarding its author, "Historical Records" records that "King Wen was restrained and performed the Book of Changes." Therefore, the ancients mostly believed that the "Book of Changes" was written by King Wen of Zhou based on Sima Qian's theory, but today's people have different views.

Because the book was written very early and the meaning of the words evolved with the times, the content of the "Book of Changes" was difficult to understand during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Therefore, the ancients specially wrote the "Book of Changes" to interpret the "Book of Changes".

What we call "Zhouyi" today usually refers to the combination of "Book of Changes" and "Book of Changes".

Yi Jin Jing is one of the traditional Chinese Qigong exercises.

"Yi Jin Jing" focuses on strengthening muscles and bones, so it has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on muscles, bones, limbs, kidney deficiency, impotence, premature ejaculation, insomnia and other diseases.

Yi Jin Jing is an exercise method mainly focused on strengthening the body. "Yi" means "change", and "jin" refers to the muscles and veins.

Its main feature is the combination of movement and stillness, inner stillness to relax the mind and regulate the breath, and outer movement to strengthen the muscles and bones.

The body-building method of the Yi Jin Jing was first seen in the "Yi Jin Jing". According to recent research, this book was written by Taoist Zi Ning of Tiantai in the Ming Dynasty in the fourth year of Tianqi (1624).
