    In ancient China, the development was actually very powerful, at that time, China was the strongest existence among all countries, and even Japan had to learn a lot of things from our China, and at that time there were many schools of literature and schoolsFor example, we all know the Analects, etc., at this time there is also a "Book of Changes" that makes people very confused, and will ask the wisdom of the Book of Changes, can it really only be understood and not spoken? Why? In fact, it makes sense, the design inside is too complicated.

    First of all, the book "Book of Changes" is different from general literary works, not like the Analects, or the Warring States Policy to record the story, but at that time in some feng shui and superstitious calculations, this is very incomprehensible, after all, the superstition at that time has always existed, from the king to the people, everyone knows that superstition and ghosts and gods and the like, but how to look at it, few people can understand, even if you really understand, it is difficult to teach, this doctrine is too mysterious, I don't know where to start, and the I Ching is one of those ways.

    The book "I Ching" can be said to be the saying in Tai Chi at that time, and it also combines the doctrine of the Yin and Yang family, which is really difficult to see, more like a form at the beginning, just like we see the fantasy cultivation of immortals**, at the beginning it was due to the successful flood era after Pangu used the Pangu axe to open the world, at that time there were witches, human races or something, and the "Book of Changes" also has certain similarities, so it makes people look like they don't know how to say it at all.

    I can only say that I understand, but how to explain it, I don't know at all, so it makes sense to say that I can only understand and not speak, which is also a strange place in ancient China, it seems unreasonable, but people who really study him feel that this is true, but he can't explain it specifically, he can only say it roughly, but it is still difficult to understand.

    Of course. When Professor Zeng explains the I Ching, he starts from the whole, understands each hexagram from a macro perspective, and then conducts a detailed analysis from each hexagram, and in the process of explanation, he will be supplemented by some vivid and interesting examples.

    Not just an academic column, but a textbook, his purpose is to let you know about the I Ching, which is not as esoteric as we think. You have not been able to learn the wisdom of the I Ching because you have never chosen the right textbook to explain the I Ching.

    2. No matter what kind of learner you are, he can help you as a textbook for learning the Book of Changes, he will not take the initiative to select readers, whether you are a doctor, a teacher, a business leader, an employee, or a wife who takes care of the family, you can learn, and in the process of learning, you can get your own insights! If you're a reader who likes to read, then you should definitely have a pen and a notebook, because there will always be a lot of ideas that come to you, and if you don't write them down right away, it always seems like something is missing.

    Yes, the I Ching is very difficult to understand, it can be said that one person understands it, and this understanding changes with the change of external conditions.

    Yes, because the Tao is very Taoistic, there is no reason that is eternal, and you must feel it in combination with yourself.

    "Words" can assist "understanding", but it is impossible to completely turn it into one's own things through the "words" of others, and it must require one's own deep thinking and one's own cognition of the world to make judgments. As the saying goes, "a thousand readers, a thousand Hamlets", in the same way, a thousand people reading the Book of Changes can experience a thousand different wisdoms.

    The so-called "can only be understood but not spoken" means that the meaning is difficult to accurately express in words, and the meaning expressed in words is often thousands of miles away from the actual situation, or less than one ten-thousandth. Many people think that this statement is too mysterious, but in fact it is not, but it is saying that everyone has a different perception of it, and it is only "my wisdom" that comes out through words, not "your wisdom", but I know that you want to obtain "your wisdom" through my words, but I don't know your way of thinking, your outlook on life, values, world view, etc., so I can only describe a relatively objective "wisdom" as much as possible. However, no matter how objective it is, just like the history books written by Sima Qian, it has been criticized by later generations that the author has too many subjective factors.

    In terms of "wisdom", this means that "my understanding" and "my words" will affect your understanding of it, and thus lead you to a fork in the road.

    The so-called "wisdom of the Book of Changes, which can only be understood but not spoken", is actually very simple, not as complicated as the world imagines. You only need to look and experience with your heart, and what truth you have learned from it, then what the Book of Changes tells about, then what is the wisdom in it. The reason why I Ching is mysterious is that it is not absolute, and it can make every reader have his own gain.

    The reason why people in the world are so afraid of "only what can be understood but not spoken" is actually just that people are accustomed to getting results directly, and do not want to go through the process of obtaining results themselves.

    Generally speaking, the wisdom in the Book of Changes is what comes out of others, and if you want to get your own wisdom, you can only understand it yourself.

    The reason why the Book of Changes is as mysterious as people say is because everyone understands different truths from it. As long as you study with your heart, you can learn your own wisdom, and it is not just something that cannot be understood.

    Because the I Ching is broad and profound, there is a lot of superficial wisdom that can indeed be passed on in words, but because it is difficult to understand, many things can only be passed on by personal understanding.

    It's not that you can only understand but not speak, but there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers, and everyone's understanding of the I Ching is different.
