What's the difference between Zhouyi, Yijing and Yi Zhuan?

We often see bookshelves full of Book of Changes, Book of Changes and Book of Changes, so what's the difference between them?

First of all, the fame of Zhouyi appeared the earliest. The book of rites in the spring of Zhou Dynasty is also called Zhouyi, which means "the method of grasping three changes, one is to connect mountains, the other is to return to Tibet, and the third is Zhouyi". At that time, did Zhouyi mentioned in Zhou Li include Ten Wings? Personally, I can't verify it after all, and there is no clear statement in the academic circles about the exquisite age of Zhou Li.

The reputation of the Book of Changes first appeared in the early Han Dynasty, when the Doctor of Five Classics was established, and then it began to be called the Book of Changes. In fact, the version at that time should also include the Ten Wings, or just a part of it, which can be proved by the excavation of the silk book Zhouyi, and the connotations of the two are basically similar. There is also a saying that the Book of Changes only involves the hexagrams and rhetoric in the Book of Changes, and has not involved other aspects.

what about yi zhuan? That is to say, Ten Wings, which we often say, is a work specially used by Confucius to explain Zhouyi. It was written from the Warring States Period to the early Han Dynasty. The Book of Changes is divided into several sections, namely, the upper and lower parts of Xun Zhuan, the upper and lower parts of Elephant Zhuan, the upper and lower parts of Classical Chinese Zhuan, and the Zhuan Zhuan in Preface and Zhuan Zhuan in Miscellaneous, etc. This book was not written by Confucius alone, but today's version and Zhouyi are integrated and inseparable.
