Hu Xu and one of the Zhou Yi: The I Ching is the source of living water for Chinese culture

"Zhou Yi" is the theoretical root of natural philosophy and humanistic practice in traditional Chinese thought and culture, the crystallization of the ancient Han people's thinking and wisdom, known as the "source of the great road", since the Han Dynasty has been enshrined as "the first of the Qunjing", the Qing Dynasty edited and revised the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book", divided into four parts, history, sub-collection, "Zhou Yi" as the head of the scriptures.

Yi Xue believes that there are heavenly paths, tunnels, and humanity in the world, so the objects of Yixue's study are heaven, earth, and people. The Heavenly Dao is the celestial science, the Tunnel is the Earth Science, the Heavenly Dao and the Tunnel are the natural sciences, and humanity is the social science.

Yi Xue first observed and studied celestial phenomena. Ancient astronomical systems included the North Star, the Big Dipper, the Sun and Moon, the Five Stars (Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn) and the Twenty-Eight Celestial Signs. According to the astronomical observation data, the yin and yang principle, the five elements principle and the Bagua space-time coordinate system were proposed, and the timing system of the heavenly stem and earth branch was created, forming ancient Chinese astronomy.

Yixue observed and studied meteorology, established the climate system of "four hours, eight knots, twenty-four gases, and seventy-two weather", put forward the theory of five lucks and six gases, and formed ancient Chinese meteorology.

On the basis of observations under the heavens and meteorological observations, Yixue formulates a solar calendar based on the length of the solar regression year; and a lunar calendar is formulated on the basis of the length of the moon synodic month. The Chinese luni-yang calendar has been passed down to this day.

Yi Xue observed and studied human elephants, proposed the five abdomen and six internal organs and meridian system, established a virtual model of "meridian people", formed a unique Chinese medicine system, and made great contributions to the prevention and treatment of diseases and reproduction and prosperity of the Chinese nation.

"Zhou Yi" is a classic among classics, a philosophy in philosophy, and a strategy in strategy. From "Zhou Yi", philosophers see dialectical thinking, historians see the rise and fall of history, politicians see strategies for governing the world, military experts can participate in the art of war, entrepreneurs can also find ways to operate, and in the same way, all sentient beings can also regard it as a magic weapon for people to live in the world and improve their cultivation.

The ideological wisdom of "Zhou Yi" penetrates Chinese all aspects of life, and its rich content has had an extremely profound impact on China's politics, economy, culture and other fields for thousands of years, and is an outstanding philosophical masterpiece in ancient China, the source of living water of Chinese culture, and the common classic of Confucianism, Taoism and Chinese medicine. Whether it is the Way of Confucius and Mencius, the Lao Zhuang Doctrine, or the Art of War of Sun Tzu, or the Emperor's Inner Classic, or the Divine Dragon Easy To Learn, all of them are closely related to the I Ching.

"Zhou Yi" has gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes and has become the root of Han national culture. Yi Dao pays attention to the reciprocal response of yin and yang, the harmony of rigidity and softness, and advocates self-improvement and virtue. In the history of five thousand years of civilization, the reason why the Han nation has been able to endure many disasters for a long time without overturning, to fear difficulties without falling, to be able to recover from decay and rejuvenation, and to continuously develop and grow, the root cause has been passed down to the present, and it is closely related to the grasp of the era of the spirit of Yi Dao.

Albert Einstein said that many of the achievements made by Western scientists have long been made by ancient Chinese scientists. One of the reasons is that ancient Chinese scientists learned "Zhou Yi" since childhood, and mastered a golden key to open the door of the cosmic labyrinth that ancient Western scientists did not grasp.

C.G., an authority on European philosophy, said that the world's only treasure of wisdom for human beings is the first to promote China's "I Ching". The laws we derive in science are often short-lived or overturned by later facts. Only China's I Ching, which is ancient and new, is still valuable for thousands of years, and has many similarities with the latest atomic physics.
