In the history of China, there have been many classic works handed down from generation to generation. As a Chinese classic handed down from generation to generation, the "Book of Changes" has had an important impact on Chinese philosophy, literature, politics, law, astronomy, calendar, etc., and is worthy of our careful study and reading. Now we excerpt some famous quotes to review the rich, profound and philosophical thoughts of the sages.
"Sage" After Confucius turned fifty, he became the Grand Administrator of the State of Lu and began to come into contact with the "Book of Changes", which was regarded as the top secret of the country. From then on, he developed a strong interest in "The Book of Changes" and couldn't put it down. , never leave for a moment, "When you are at home, you are at the table, when you are traveling, you are in your bag", "Read the Three Wonders of Wei Bian in "Yi"". He sighed and said: "Give me a few more years and fifty more to study, and I can make no big mistakes in the Book of Changes." He fully affirmed and praised the "Book of Changes". "Xici" said: "What is the meaning of "Yi"? "Yi" establishes things and accomplishes tasks, and takes the road of the world. This is what one does." It is pointed out that "Yi" not only includes the laws of changes in the universe, but also It also includes the principles of social development and career creation. He has a unique understanding of the "Book of Changes" and is considered to be the only person in the history of our country who is well versed in the "Book of Changes" and has unique insights. Confucius specially wrote the "Preface, Tuan, Xi, Xiang, Gua Shuo, Wenyan" and other texts, namely the "Book of Changes". He gave a historical interpretation of the "Book of Changes" and became the most authoritative and classic interpretation of the "Book of Changes". "Book of Changes" is a must-read work, so "Book of Changes" becomes the first of the Five Classics. Confucius's "Book of Changes" and his interpretation of the "Book of Changes" transformed the "Book of Changes", which had only more than 5,000 words of divination, into a philosophical work and gave it a qualitative sublimation. Before Confucius interpreted the Book of Changes, people believed that the Book of Changes was a book of divination. King Wen performed "Yi" and regarded it as a book of divination. Therefore, good or bad fortune, misfortune, regret, and stinginess are often used to judge the quality of hexagrams in hexagrams and lines. Confucius explained the "Book of Changes" in seven chapters: "Yun Ci", "Xiang Ci", "Wenyan", "Xici", "Shuo Gua", "Xu Gua" and "Miscellaneous Gua", covering heaven, earth and man. It is all-encompassing, broad and profound, showing the glorious scientific wisdom and profound humanistic thoughts of ancient my country. Its overall thinking of taking images and analogies, symmetry of yin and yang, harmonizing hardness and softness, emphasizing sequence, and focusing on rhythmic thinking of images and numbers, all reflect the unique thinking characteristics of our country. Its great popularity, the endless development view of the universe; the idea of ??contradictory transformation that all things are changing day by day, and the extremes of things must be reversed; the cognitive principle of looking up and looking down, exhausting all rationality; the idea of ??subject initiative that people can "praise the transformation and education of heaven and earth", etc. , became the guiding principle for observing and solving problems in ancient my country. Confucius pointed out in "Yi Zhuan" that divination is only a form of expression, and its content takes the entire nature and human society as the research object. We should see the real content under the form of divination. He also made an incisive philosophical analysis of the hexagrams, hexagrams, Yao, and Ci to elaborate on the philosophical thoughts in the "Book of Changes". For example, in the interpretation of hexagrams and lines, special emphasis is placed on the role of "time" and "zhong". The development of anything is time-sensitive, and mistakes will occur if something happens earlier or later. Every sentence in "Xici" expresses the color of philosophy, such as "The whole household is called Kun, the opening of a household is called Qian, the opening and closing of households is called change, and the endless exchanges are called communication." "Strong and soft touch each other. "The eight trigrams are in harmony with each other" and so on. Even the arrangement of the sixty-four hexagrams in "Xu Gua" also shows its inevitability. The Book of Changes began with the Eight Diagrams drawn by Fu Xi. King Wen performed the Book of Changes and made it the Book of Changes. However, it was not understood by people. It was only after Confucius interpreted the Book of Changes and compiled the Book of Changes that it was accepted by people. "Book of Changes" has become a must-have book for studying "Book of Changes". Only through the explanation of "Book of Changes" can people understand the true meaning of "Book of Changes". Therefore, it is said that the "Book of Changes" was written as "the three ancient scriptures of the world, and the three saints of the human scriptures". The "three ancients" are Fuxi's ancient times, King Wen's middle ancient times, and Confucius' recent times. The "Three Sages" are the sage Fu Xi, the sage Wen Wang, and the sage Confucius. Kong's interpretation of the "Book of Changes" ignited the torch of traditional Chinese culture, allowing the brilliance of the "Book of Changes" to penetrate the dust of history and illuminate the present and the future.
