How do ordinary people learn the Book of Changes

Learning the Book of Changes depends on whether you want to learn philosophy or astrology. Philosophical theory only needs to learn the interaction between Yin and Yang and five elements, while astrology is based on a time based on eight characters to judge whether it is good or bad, mainly studying eight characters.

Philosophical theory first comes into contact with the source of the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. We only need to understand the theory of five elements, and then we will begin to learn sixty-four hexagrams, images and words. The evolution of sixty-four hexagrams from beginning to end contains profound philosophy, and we can further open our minds by observing hexagrams.

The prediction of skill numbers needs to be learned from four pillars and eight characters. After you know the eight characters, you can learn other kinds of predictions, such as six hexagrams, plum blossom easy number, Taoist magic and so on. The prediction of the number of skills is an essential process for in-depth study of the Book of Changes, aiming at exploring the changing law between heaven and earth and observing the natural development, which is the basis of various predictions.

The Significance of the Book of Changes

The Book of Changes understands and grasps the world from a holistic perspective, and regards man and nature as an organic whole with mutual induction, that is, "the unity of man and nature", which is a philosophical work of China's integration of natural science and social science. The Book of Changes is divided into three parts: Lianshan and Guizang in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Zhouyi in the Zhou Dynasty, also known as "Three Changes" (once written at three o'clock, all three books were written in ancient times).

Lianshan and Guizang are ancient Chinese cultural classics. It is said that Lianshan and Guizang were not lost, but were renamed as innate gossip and the gossip the day after tomorrow. It is also said that the whereabouts of Lianshan and Guizang were unknown after the Han Dynasty, or were absorbed by Confucianism and Taoism as classics or lost, which could easily become an eternal mystery in the cultural field of China.
