Which version of the I Ching is better?

Tell you, there is no best annotated version of the I Ching, only whether you like it or not. The simplest explanation of the I Ching is Nan Huaijin's "Miscellaneous Sayings of the I Ching".

A lot of short stories were told, and there is an electronic version on the Internet. One of the more popular annotations is Huang Shouqi's Commentary on the Translation of Zhou Yi

Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, there is also an electronic version on the Internet, of course, you can also go to Dangdang, Excellence, Jingdong to buy the paper version, I think you can also ** down to try it, if you like it very much, then buy the physical book.

Zhou Yi is the best version, and as far as I know, there are four Song engravings;

1.Wei Wangbi, Jin Han Kangbo "Zhou Yi Note", Song Fuzhou Minister Ku carved book.

2.Wei Wangbi and Jin Hankang "Zhou Yi Note", Song Jianyang engraved book.

3.Lai Zhide's "Zhou Yi Ji Note".

4.Zhu Xi's "Zhou Yi Benyi".

It is best to study "Zhou Yi" first to specialize in rare books, of course, the older the version, the better! Then study and read modern and modern classics. For example, Zhou Yi Annotation, Zhou Yi Ji Jie, Han Shang Yi Chuan, Zhou Yi Benyi, Yichuan Yi Chuan, Zhou Yi Compromise, Zhou Yi Shang's Learning, Zhou Yi Quanjie and so on.

It's a matter of course.

At present, there are dozens or even hundreds of various versions of Monday, and the most authoritative is the widely recognized Song Zhuxi's "Zhou Yi Benyi", which is already a very obscure book that requires you to study it seriously.

Zhou Yi Compromise" was edited by Li Guangdi, the imperial order of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, with the participation of Zhang Tingyu and others.

If you want to learn on your own, it's best to buy a few, Shao Weihua's Zhouyi books, first buy one, (Zhouyi Primer) (Zhouyi and **Learning).

Zhou Yiquan's book "Zhou Yi Tracing and Early Easy Learning Examination" - Ding Sixin - Chinese People's Publishing House, this version is better.

This book is a collection of the author's long-term research on unearthed and easy to learn. In the first two chapters, the problem of digital hexagrams is discussed, and the problems of the three articles of "Saying Hexagrams" and the "Yi" of Jizuka Bamboo Book are sorted out, and the major difficult problems of "the nature and what is the hexagram painting of "Zhou Yi" are solved.

This book comprehensively summarizes and discusses the basic points and academic value of the philosophical thought of the Silk Book of Yi from four aspects: the interpretation of the principles of Yi, the theory of yin and yang, the theory of Qiankun, and the comparison of the ideas of the present book and the silk book. It also demonstrates the views of "Zi Yue" and "Confucius Yue" in the two articles of "Miao He" and "Zhaoli".

In the last two chapters, we sort out and analyze the textual evolution characteristics of Laozi and Zhou Yi and the relationship between textual thoughts, and discuss the philosophical interpretation of Zhou Yi scriptures from the perspective of unearthed Yi learning materials.

"Zhou Yi" is an ancient and splendid cultural treasure, the ancients used it to ** the future, make decisions on national events, reflect the current phenomenon, measure the sky, measure the earth, and measure personnel.

However, the "Zhou Yi" is only one of the major functions, in fact, the "Zhou Yi" includes astronomy, geography, military, science, literature, agriculture and other rich knowledge content. As long as you can read "Zhou Yi", no matter which line of practitioners, you can draw the power of wisdom from it.

As the source of China's culture, the content of "Zhou Yi" is extremely rich, and it has had an extremely profound impact on China's politics, economy, culture and other fields for thousands of years.

1. "Zhou Yi Yi Read" - Han Guangyue - Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House.

Although the author of this book is not a professional researcher, he has studied Zhou Yi for many years. This book was originally written by the author on his own blog, and gradually attracted the attention and love of netizens, and with the encouragement of netizens and readers, he finally completed this book. The book is divided into 3 parts, the first part is the overall introduction to the Book of Changes.

The second and third parts are explanations of the 64 hexagrams of the Book of Changes.

Throughout the whole article, the author's writing is concise, the language is concise, and the elaboration is simple and simple. It was even found that some of the author's views apply to many situations in life. "Still water flows deeply, the road is simple" is the essence of this book, and it is a popular book of "Zhou Yi" that can be read by the majority of readers.

2. "Zhou Yi" - Translator Guo Yu - Zhonghua Book Company.

Zhou Yi is the first of the group classics, the classic of the classics, the philosophy of philosophy, and the strategy of strategy. From the "Zhou Yi", philosophers can see dialectical thinking, historians can see the rise and fall of history, politicians can see the strategy of governing the world, military strategists can understand the art of war, entrepreneurs can also find ways to do business, and similarly, all living beings can also regard it as the only magic weapon for dealing with the world and improving self-cultivation.

This book interprets the 64 hexagrams of the "Zhou Yi" in detail, each hexagram is independent and self-contained, and each section has the original text, translation, and enlightenment, and each hexagram is followed by famous Chinese and foreign examples, in order to throw bricks and lead jade.

To sum up, "Zhou Yi" is broad and profound, it is far from enough to read only one version, the ancient literature is enough or the direct original, other people's understanding is someone else's after all, and one's own understanding is more profound.

(1) Wei Wangbi and Jin Han Kangbo, "Zhou Yi Note", Song Fuzhou Minister Ku carved version.

2) Wei Wangbi and Jin Hankang's "Zhou Yi Note", engraved by Song Jianyang. According to Mr. Zhao Wanli's appraisal, Jianyang's book is beautiful and charming, the characters are close to thin gold font, and the text is more than his book. In addition to the Fuzhou version, the Song version of "Zhou Yi" should be pushed as the best book.

3) Tang Kong Yingda's "Zhou Yi Justice", the Southern Song Dynasty supervised version, and the editionists called the "Zhou Yi" single sparse version. Because it is a single sparse book before the scriptures, notes, and sparse engraving, it is the most precious, the original collection of Xu's in Linqing, Shandong, Xu Shu was scattered, and it was obtained by Mr. Fu Zengting, and Fu's had printed 100 copies in Japan, which shows its important value.

4) Wei Wangbi, Jin Han Kangbo Note, Tang Kong Yingda Shu "Zhou Yi Note Shu", Song Liangqi East Road Tea and Salt Division engraved Song Yuan handed over the revised version. This is the first book of the "Zhou Yi" scriptures, notes, and single sparse engraving, known as the Yuezhou book, also known as the eight-line note book. It has been included in the "Three Editions of the Guyi Series".

The ancient texts are the same, mainly to look at the annotations of later generations, but none of the annotations of later generations are clever, especially some famous people, ordinary people are misled, alas. For example, some people like to read Nan Huaijin's books, but once I glanced at the hexagram he explained, and I vomited at that time. But these people are the ones who control the mainstream voice, claiming to be authentic scholars and beasts.

That's how the people of the academy sect are! And the people of the Jianghu faction can tell divinations, but they don't know what Yi is.

If you want to look good, you need to have ancient literary skills, which is the most primitive ancient literature.

Esoteric books deal with hexagrams, but you probably won't understand them.

You can't have a deep understanding of the simple book after reading it, so it is easy to be a book from heaven! Ten years is a little successful, thirty years is a small success, and when you are old, you can be regarded as a success, but the research is not finished!

The more I studied, the more I felt terrible! Because it is omnipotent and unfathomable, with human wisdom can only understand a small part of it in a lifetime, and then it is passed down from generation to generation, and it has been studied for thousands of years, but there will never be an end to it. In the end, you will suspect that it was deified and passed on to the ancestors, otherwise why is the I Ching so mysterious!

It's hard to imagine that a mortal could invent it. A single innate Taiji diagram has endless mysteries, and it is confirmed in modern science, and every time I feel the infinite wisdom of my ancestors, I really can't figure out how the ancients could have such a brilliant worldview! Go back and read the original text of "Yi Chuan" (Ten Wings), word by word, and read it at each stage to have a different understanding.

Westerners read the Bible, Middle Easterners read the Koran to death, and Chinese people read the I Ching, which is countless times higher than them.

The high-end book reads Shao Kangjie's "Huangji Jingshi" in the Song Dynasty, but you can't understand it.

Then find some books that are simple to modern people, although they are far from the essence of Yi, but for ordinary people, they can make you think broadly, just read it, it doesn't matter.

If you want to learn to tell hexagrams, you can directly watch "Addition and Deletion of Buyi".

At present, the annotations of the Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House are detailed and have a lot of content, but they are a bit expensive.

Beginner Zhenquan, Yin Jing's book is good, and Guo Yu's is not ordinary, I personally think.

The most consistent with the word-by-word translation of the original text, it is recommended to look at Mr. Fu Peirong's Zhou Yi version.

Start learning with the popular version, and you can read it together with the silk book Zhouyi in the later stage.

There are four kinds of ideological systems contained in the Book of Changes, as evidenced by the "Words": those who speak still speak their words, those who move still change their words, those who make instruments still have their images, and those who use divination still occupy them.

If you just want to learn divination, you can use Shao Weihua's "Zhou Yi and ** Learning" as an introductory book.

If you want to learn the other three contents, the best way is to look up the dictionary and dictionary that annotates the ancient texts and study it yourself.

The addition and deletion of the copy board is a compulsory course.

Look at the original, don't read the one with commentary.

"Zhou Yi" is the "Book of Changes", one of the "Three Changes" (there is another point of view: the Book of Changes is the Three Changes, not the Zhou Yi), is one of the traditional classics, according to legend, it was written by King Jichang of Zhou Wen, including the "Sutra" and "Biography" two parts. The "Sutra" is mainly sixty-four hexagrams and three hundred and eighty-four hexagrams, and the hexagrams and hexagrams have their own explanations (hexagrams, hexagrams) for divination.

Zhou Yi did not put forward the concepts of yin and yang and tai chi, and the one that talked about yin and yang and tai chi was influenced by Taoism and yin and yang. The Biography contains a total of 10 texts that explain hexagrams and epigrams, collectively known as the Ten Wings, and is said to have been written by Confucius.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, government schools began to gradually evolve into private schools. Easy to learn before and after, gradual development, hundreds of schools of learning, easy to learn is differentiated. Since Confucius praised Yi, "Zhou Yi" was regarded as a Confucian holy canon, the first of the six classics.

In addition to Confucianism, there are two branches of Yixue and Confucianism: one is the Xiaoshu Yi that still exists in the old forces; The other is Lao Tzu's Taoist Yi, which is divided into three branches.

The "General Catalogue of the Four Libraries" divides the source and changes of the history of Yixue into "two schools and six sects". The two schools are like the school of mathematics and the school of righteousness; Six sects, one is the divination sect, the second is the Zhenxiang sect, the third is the creation sect, the fourth is the Lao Zhuang sect, the fifth is the Confucian sect, and the sixth is the historical affairs sect.

Zhou Yi is the theoretical root of natural philosophy and humanistic practice in traditional Chinese thought and culture, and is the crystallization of the thought and wisdom of the ancient Han nation, known as the "source of the avenue". The content is extremely rich, and has had an extremely profound impact on China's politics, economy, culture and other fields for thousands of years.

Which version? What are you doing when you learn from Zhou Yi, if you cultivate your sentiments, it's normal. If you want to use it for **, it's not enough to just read Zhou Yi.

If you have any questions, you can follow or send a private message to my Weibo: Yiye Mufeng.

Install a "Dry Easy" on your mobile phone, you don't need to carry a book with you, it's very convenient.

<>1. "Zhou Yi" is a branch of the "Book of Changes", but later people have no distinction between each other, and "Zhou Yi" is called "I Ching", and "I Ching" is also called "Zhou Yi".

2. The most primitive "Book of Changes" has "Lianshan Yi", "Guizang Yi", "Zhou Yi", collectively known as "Three Yi", these three Yi, are all composed of eight hexagrams, and other hexagrams are fourteen hexagrams in the eight eight six chains. "Lianshan Yi" originates from the ancient Shennong period, and the gossip painted starts from the Gen hexagram, symbolizing the clouds on the mountain, continuous; "Returning to Tibet" is the emperor's period of "Yi", starting from the Kun hexagram, representing the growth of all things on the earth, and finally all things are returned to Tibet, Kun is the earth, and there is a virtue of containing all things. "Zhou Yi" was written in prison when King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned.

Zhou Yi starts from the two hexagrams of Qiankun and Kun, representing the relationship between heaven and earth and human fluids. Because the ancient "Lianshan Yi" and "Guizang Yi" have been lost, only "Zhou Yi" has been handed down. The order in which the "Three Changes" gossip begins is different, but their core content is almost the same.

As for which edition of the Zhou Yiquan Book is better, it depends on the individual's academic interests and needs. Here is some information that may help you:

If you want to specialize in rare books, you can start from "Zhou Yi Translation Notes", "Zhou Yi Shang's Studies", "Zhou Yi Gu Zheng Kao", "Jiao's Yi Yi", "Zhou Yi Ji Notes", "Zhou Yi Benyi", "Zhou Yi Ji Explanation", "Zhou Yi Justice", "Zhou Yi Notes" and so on.

If you are interested in the "Silk Book of Changes" unearthed from the Han Tomb Mawangdui, you can read the "Silk Book of Changes" unearthed from the Han Tomb Mawangyan Xun Qidui.

If you want to learn about modern research, "Zhou Yi Tracing and Early Easy Learning Examination" published by Chinese People's Publishing House may be a good choice.

In general, the individual's research interests, academic background, and reading purpose need to be considered as to which edition of the Rough Script is better. Different editions may have different values and meanings, so choosing which edition to choose should be based on individual needs and goals.

If you want to study systematically, you must use books as models. Nowadays, there are many books on studying Zhou Yi, and there are many fallacies, which are dazzling. Therefore, if you want to learn from Zhou Yi, I advise you to look at famous masterpieces, such as Zhu Xi's "Zhou Yi Benyi" in the Song Dynasty, "Zhou Yiyi's Evidence Compilation" in modern times, and Gao Heng's "Zhou Yi Ancient Classics and Modern Notes".

Strictly speaking, Zhou Yi is a subjective materialist philosophy book, which is a collection of astronomy, mathematics, the art of war, statecraft, life and life, moral cultivation and the development and change of things. If you just look at him as a fortune teller, it's too superficial. Of course, the premise of looking at Zhu Xi's "Zhou Yi Benyi" is to learn classical Chinese well.

I guess the landlord may not be proficient in ancient Chinese, right?

Therefore, it is recommended to take a look at Nan Huaijin's "Zhou Yi Miscellaneous" before learning "Zhou Yi Benyi", don't look at it as miscellaneous, a lot of basic knowledge has been included, although it is not systematic enough, but there are many knowledge points, and the narration is straightforward and easy to understand. It is very helpful for people who do not have a foundation of Zhouyi. If you have a soft spot for numerology (that is, fortune telling), it is recommended to learn ancient Chinese first, and then familiarize yourself with Zhu Xi's "Zhou Yi Benyi", lay a good foundation, and finally start to read the ancient books of mathematics:

Yuanhai Ziping", "Dripping Heavenly Marrow", "Ziping Zhenquan Commentary", "Poor Tong Baojian", "Thousand Miles of Life", "Three Lives", "Lantai Wonderful Selection", "Biyuan Fu". Easy is change, and the meridian is the method (or classic). That is, the Book of Changes (Book of Changes), which is a rigorous philosophical work that can be used for divination within the scope of science.

It's just that it's very esoteric and difficult to understand, and there are a lot of far-fetched theories. "Book of Changes" ("Yi", pronounced the same as "Yi") is referred to as "Yi", also known as "Zhou Yi", is one of the oldest documents in China, according to legend, written by King Wen of Zhou, written in the Zhou Dynasty, so it is called "Zhou Yi". In fact, the Book of Changes is a study that has gradually evolved and completed in Chinese history.

The English translation is "the book of changes", which means a book that studies change. In fact, this translation does not explain the essence of the I Ching (many Chinese translations lose their original meaning when translated into English). ‍
