What reference books do you need to learn the I Ching

Han Yu said in "Shi Shuo":

Ancient scholars must have teachers, teachers, so preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts. If a person is not born to know, who can be free from confusion? If you are confused and do not follow the teacher, you will never be able to solve it.

Some reference books play the role of "teachers", especially for those who have the ability to learn on their own, and it should be a top priority to prepare more necessary reference books.

According to my personal experience, you should read the article "Zhou Yi" first, and even "Yi Chuan" first. Prepare a copy of Lu Deming's "Classic Interpretation: Zhou Yiyinyi" and a "Kangxi Dictionary".

Beginners should not be superstitious about authority.

Beginners must not read miscellaneous books, nor do they have to be superstitious about individual "authorities", let alone be misled by some people who explain "Zhou Yi" indiscriminately.

Zhou Yi is "the head of the group of scriptures, the origin of the avenue", and those who understand the truth are people with wisdom. Nowadays, some people are fooling the "wisdom of Zhou Yi", and we can say that those who are called "Yi" have great wisdom.

However, "Zhou Yi" talks about the big truth, and "wisdom" is not something that you can get as soon as someone talks about it.

What's even more interesting is that there are still people who fool ""Zhou Yi" is really easy to read", "Zhou Yi only speaks three words in it", etc., even if people who "read more than 10,000 books" dare not say such big words!

Don't read "Zhou Yi Benyi" and "Yi Xue's Enlightenment" first

Why does the author especially remind beginners not to read the two books "Zhou Yi Benyi" and "Easy Learning and Enlightenment" first?

This is because the author was a little anxious when he first got involved in "Zhou Yi" more than 20 years ago.

Who doesn't want to pursue the "original meaning", and who doesn't want to get rid of ignorance? So I studied these two books "as the name suggests."

As a result, it takes three years to be "in it" and another five years to be "out of it". It's really a piece of advice for beginners from the bottom of my heart after a detour.

What books should I prepare for Xuezhouyi?

There is no need to say the reason for preparing the "Kangxi Dictionary", but some elementary school kung fu books, such as "Shuowen Jie Zi" and "Erya", should also be placed on the motto.

The reason for the special recommendation of Lu Deming's "Zhou Yi Yinyi" is obviously obvious, and the phonetic meaning of some words in "Zhou Yi" cannot be confused.

Cheng Yi of the Northern Song Dynasty said in "The Book of Xie Xiang with Jintang" that when reading "Yi", you should first read Wang Bi, Hu Ying (Yuan), and Wang Anshi: There are more than 100 families in Yi, and it is difficult to observe.

If you haven't read it, you don't know the meaning of the text, and you have to see Wang Bi, Mr. Hu, and Jing Gong. Understand the meaning of the text, and read it well, and then have a good intention.

Today, Wang Bi's "Zhou Yi Note" and Hu Ming's "Zhou Yi Kouyi" can be seen, but it is a pity that Wang Anshi's Yi Xue's works have been lost (part of the content can be seen in the "Linchuan Anthology").

The author agrees with Cheng Yi's recommendation, and if there is anything to add, I should also read Kong Yingda's "Zhou Yi Justice" and the early Southern Song Dynasty engraved book "Zhou Yi Annotation" (this rare book was originally in the Ashikaga School in Japan, and is a Japanese national treasure).

The author has purchased the reconstructed book from Japan with a lot of money, and sent the reconstructed part to 100 university libraries in China, and the Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House has published the author's book "The First Engraving of the Southern Song Dynasty This Week's Easy Note and Proofreading").

There are many books, but the one that is really useful is the School of Comprehension.

What do you study? Four Pillars of Numerology? Liuyao**?

"I Ching" is one of the oldest and profound classics in our country, which is divination on the surface, and in essence, it is a book on the laws of change of the universe through divination.

Most of the people who understand the Book of Changes are known from superstitious activities such as divination, so ordinary people think that the Book of Changes is a book that can predict the future and gain insight into the past, but in fact, the value of the Book of Changes is far beyond our imagination.

The Book of Changes is a mysterious work in ancient China, because it was popular in the Zhou Dynasty, so it is called "Zhou Yi", which is respected by Confucianism as the head of the group of classics, and it is indeed a book for divination from its arrangement style and text content. When Qin Shi Huang burned books to pit Confucianism, Li Si included the Book of Changes in the book of medical divination and was spared.

Most people agree that the Book of Changes was written by King Wen of Zhou according to Sima Qian's "Historical Records", because the book was written very early and the meaning of the text evolved with the times, and the "Book of Changes" was not easy to read as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. People wrote the Book of Changes to interpret the Book of Changes.

Therefore, what we call "Zhou Yi" today has two parts, one is the original text of the Book of Changes, and the other is the explanatory content of the Book of Changes. Due to the changes in Chinese characters, the meanings of many words have changed, so it is worth mentioning whether the various translations fully and truly reflect the ideas or intentions of the original works.

The value of the I Ching as a great work cannot be overshadowed by the nature of the book of divination. Divination arose because human beings tried to give a rational explanation for the unknown world, and the germ of philosophy was born from primitive religions, and the I Ching provides a good example of this. The theories of the unity of opposites, Confucianism and Taoism were all clearly influenced by the I Ching.
