How to learn the I Ching? And Yi Chuan ?

First read the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes, and then look at Confucius's explanation...

This is the most formal method.

After reading these two books, it is already very powerful, and when the time comes, you will know what you want to watch.

It is not advisable to read the vernacular first, after all, what can be explained in classical Chinese, not completely in the vernacular.

It is recommended to see Lao Zhuang because they are connected.

We often see bookshelves full of "I Ching", "Zhou Yi", and "Yi Chuan", so what is the difference between the three?

First of all, the reputation of "Zhou Yi" appeared the earliest, "Zhou Lichun Guan Dabu" is also known as "Zhou Yi", "the law of the three changes, one is called Lianshan, the second is Tibet, and the third is Zhou Yi". At that time, did the "Zhou Yi" mentioned in "Zhou Li" include "Ten Wings"? With my own strength, I can't verify it after all, and there is no clear statement in the academic circles about the study of the age when the "Zhou Li" was written.

The reputation of the Book of Changes first appeared in the early Han Dynasty, the early Han Dynasty set up a doctor of the Five Classics, and then 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 used as evidence by the excavation of the silk book "Zhou Yi", and the connotations of the two are basically similar. In addition, there is another theory that the "Book of Changes" only involves the hexagrams and epithets in the "Zhou Yi", and does not involve other aspects.

What about "Yi Chuan"? That is, we often call "Ten Wings", which is a work specially used by Confucius to explain "Zhou Yi", and the time of writing is roughly from the Warring States period to the early Han Dynasty. "Yi Chuan" is divided into several sections, namely the upper and lower parts of "Yi Chuan", the upper and lower parts of "Elephant Biography", the upper and lower parts of "Wenyan Chuan", "Dictionaries", and "Preface Hexagram Biography" and "Miscellaneous Hexagram Biography", etc., and this book is not written by Confucius alone, and the current version and "Zhou Yi" have been integrated and cannot be separated.

No.

The I Ching expounds the ancient classics of heaven and earth on the changes of all things in the world, and is a profound and profound dialectical philosophical book.

Including Lianshan, Guizang, Zhou Yi three Yi books, of which Lianshan and Gui Zang have been lost, only Zhou Yi exists in the world. The Book of Changes is known as the source of the first avenue of all scriptures, is the general program of traditional Chinese culture, contains simple and profound natural laws and harmonious dialectical thoughts, and is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years.

Here's how to learn the I Ching:

The Book of Changes is an ancient classic that expounds the changes of heaven and earth in the world, and is a broad and profound dialectical philosophical book. Including "Lianshan", "Returning to Tibet" and "Zhou Yi" three easy books, of which "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet" have been lost, and only "Zhou Yi" is extant in the world.

First, buy a relatively general book, remember: it is not a vernacular version, an ancient version, but there must be an explanation. Although different scholars have different interpretations of the I Ching, it will be easier for us to remember the explanations when we are initially studying.

Second, the second step is the hardest and most tiring step, this step has passed, and the subsequent learning will be easy. "Zhou Yi" has a total of 64 hexagrams, make a plan, and memorize the hexagrams and epigrams of the 64 hexagrams by rote for a period of time. Don't be afraid, you can do it when you make up your mind and start taking action!

3. After the completion of the previous arduous plan, let's devote ourselves to the sea of books, and find some scholars to review the books of "Zhou Yi", which can also be some ** involving "Zhou Yi". In the process of reading, you must not blindly trust, and you should have your own little opinions, because different people have different interpretations, and you can't blindly "follow the trend".

Fourth, find some relatively esoteric books to read, because at this time you have already achieved a little success, read more books such as Qimen Dunjia, Feng Shui, etc., which will have a promoting effect.
