Look at Zeng Shiqiang's "The Wisdom of the Book of Changes".

First of all, you need to know what the I Ching is for and how it can help you in your life. There are a total of 142** lectures in this set, in addition to the summary and summary, the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching are explained one by one, and the examples from life are used to aid understanding.

For example, when he talks about the kun hexagram, he takes the practice of women in the family as an example, and does not recommend doing anything too well. Because when a woman does all the housework well, even the part that her husband needs to share, she becomes a perfect woman in the eyes of everyone. However, such women are often unhappy, and in addition to fatigue, it can also lead to the breakdown of the family.

Introduction to the I Ching

The Book of Changes is the first of the Confucian "Five Classics" and one of the "Three Xuan" of Taoism. Since ancient times, there have been many explanatory works, but for ordinary readers, they are "curing the silk and curing it"—it is more and more chaotic.

For beginners and those who are confused by learning, it is not necessary to regard it as an unfathomable and hidden mystical book, but also to remove the assertion of "superstition and confusion" of many modern scholars, and not to be easily extended or far-fetched. So here is a brief chat with you.

When it comes to the Book of Changes, we have to say that gossip, gossip represents the highest wisdom, so some people say that "I Ching is the classic of the classics, the philosophy of philosophy, and the wisdom of wisdom", which is our own view of advocating the Book of Changes from the standpoint of the basic culture.

Now let's talk about the views of the ancients on the I Ching. In the "Commentary on the Scriptures" chapter of the "Book of Rites", when mentioning the "Book of Changes", it says: "Pure and subtle, the teaching of Yi is also."

"Clean" includes a variety of religious and philosophical meanings, that is, after learning the Book of Changes, his psychology, thoughts, emotions, etc., no matter what the circumstances, will be very quiet and pure. "Subtlety" is scientific, incomparably fine and precise. Therefore, those who study the Book of Changes should be very cool-headed, first, the historical development of the Book of Changes.

1.Three Changes: The I Ching we see in the world is generally the Yi of King Wen, commonly known as the "Zhou Yi". In addition, there are two kinds of Yi, the Shennong period is called "Lianshan Yi", and the Yellow Emperor period is called "Returning to Tibet".

These three kinds of Yi are collectively called the Three Changes, and the set of things that we talk about in China's "rivers and lakes", such as medicine, Kanyu, and Taoism, are all a combination of the two kinds of easy learning of "Lianshan" and "Returning to Tibet".

2.The three principles of the Book of Changes:

In addition to Lianshan and Guizang, there is a principle in the study of "Zhou Yi" itself, which is also called "Three Changes", which means that "I Ching" includes three major principles: that is.

1. Change; 2. Simplicity; Third, it is not easy. To study the Book of Changes, we must first understand the truth of these three principles.
