The ancient Bao Xi family, the king of the world, looked up to observe the images in the sky, looked down to observe the Dharma on the earth, observed the characters of birds and animals, and in harmony with the earth, he took objects close to him and objects far away, so he began to make Bagua. By understanding the virtues of gods and imitating the emotions of all things, this is why we know the darkness and brightness, and the origin is reversed from the end, so we know the theory of death and life. 2 King Wen of Zhou performs the sixty-four hexagrams Zhou Jichang (King Wen of Zhou) was the leader of Zhou Fang Kingdom during the period of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. He was imprisoned in Youli (Ziyang, Henan) by King Zhou. After King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned, he devoted himself to studying Bagua every day. After being imprisoned for seven years, he created the acquired gossip based on the innate gossip and formed the sixty-four hexagrams. 3 Duke of Zhou, named Ji Dan, was the son of King Wen of Zhou, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, and the uncle of King Cheng of Zhou. He was a great contributor to the three generations of kings of the Zhou Kingdom. Wrote the lines of the "Book of Changes".

It was Zhou Gong's benevolence and ritual music that established the moral style of "loyalty and virtue" in the "Book of Changes". 4 Confucius wrote the "Book of Changes" in ten parts, including Tuo (upper and lower), Xiang (upper and lower), Xici (upper and lower), classical Chinese, hexagrams, preface hexagrams, and miscellaneous hexagrams. And the "Book of Changes" was included in the Six Classics. The Book of Changes is one of the roots of Chinese culture, inspiring both Confucian and Taoist schools of thought, and in-depth thinking and decision-making patterns in daily life. Confucianism often views the proper attitude towards self-cultivation in a positive manner, while Taoism takes a more macroscopic view. The way of advance and retreat inspires individuals to be at ease with the present moment of life. Philosophy is self-improvement, religion is collective improvement.

It cannot be denied that the I Ching has evolved through the Four Sages (although this is not necessarily correct), and it does indeed present a complete and rigorous exposition of Eastern philosophy. Its content makes people today dare not look up to it. As far as I know, no one has ever dared to challenge its statement, because if you want to have objections, you must first digest it and understand it. As a result, thousands of people, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, How many people have devoted themselves to it, but so far, no one has dared to climb out of the whirlpool of the I Ching and come ashore to say that they have completely mastered the I Ching.

During his military service, he tried to solve the doubts of his colleagues by using hexagrams, but he never used it for personal gain.

For the purpose of divination, we cannot be mysterious and mystify the "Book of Changes" by saying "the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed". When we perform divination, the hexagrams we get are random. If the sample size is large enough, the probability of getting any of the 64 hexagrams is infinitely close to 1/64. At the micro level such as individual emotions, consciousness, thinking and even a certain body, this belongs to the category of non-determinism. The results obtained by divination can be explained by the idea of probability theory. It is not entirely the current or future state of things. We naturally You cannot make decisions based entirely on the state described in the hexagram. Based on the principle of uncertainty in the microscopic world, can we think that the "Book of Changes" is completely non-deterministic?

If we regard the 64 hexagrams in the "Book of Changes" as models, equations, and formulas designed for us in the macroscopic world, as wisdom, strategies, and guides, as well as warnings and advice given to us by countless sages, then we can Get more useful inspiration from the Book of Changes.
