Introduction

What are the psychological experiences of studying “Book of Changes” in this book? What features are reflected in this book? It is necessary to make a few brief introductions here.

First, the first thing that needs to be said is that the explanation of this book follows the path opened up by Confucius in “Yi Da Zhuan”. That is, we do not deny that “Zhou Yi” is a book of divination, The point is not so much divination, but lies in the thoughts contained in it. To put it more clearly, we should not propagate superstition, but the truth and Marxism.

Second, the predecessors’ understanding of Confucius’ “Yi Da Zhuan” is not enough in this edition, and the understanding of “Xi Ci Zhuan” in this edition is full of mistakes. For example, in “Book of Changes”, both yarrow and hexagram are equally important. Or it can be said that yarrow is more important, because yarrow is where the hexagram comes from! However, the ancients said that “Yi” often sees hexagrams, but not yarrows.

Third, the biography “Xi Ci Zhuan” has wrong simplified characters and missing characters in the part about divination.

Fourth, this editor believes that the essence of “Book of Changes” lies in the thought, and the thought mainly resides in the structure of the sixty-four hexagrams.
