He will spend three days explaining the Book of Changes in clear and easy-to-understand language, and lead everyone into the door of Yi-ology through practical methods. Why should entrepreneurs learn the Book of Changes? 2. Return to China's strategic thinking. The thinking characteristics of the Book of Changes are mainly image thinking, dialectical thinking and holographic thinking, among which image thinking is the original creation of the Book of Changes. Image thinking explores the essence of things and foresees the future through image thinking, observes a certain part as a whole, and then produces new ideas through overall association, which is very different from the western logical thinking mode. But it is precisely because of this that China people are born with more strategic thinking characteristics, and can grasp the key without seeking details or relying on data. Kenichi Ohmae, a Japanese management master, believes that irrational and intuitive strategic thinking has contributed to the success of Japanese enterprises. This is true from countries and regions to specific enterprises. Although we China people are natural strategists, it doesn't mean that we all have good strategic thinking. On the contrary, what we lack now is far-sighted strategic thinking. First, our society lacks this kind of atmosphere and environment: a growing market itself has many opportunities, so many of our entrepreneurs are opportunists, and opportunism and impetuousness have eroded the strategic thinking in our bones, so what China's business community needs is a real awakening of strategic awareness; Secondly, western management methods are popular, and their data and logical characteristics have lost the originality and uniqueness of strategy to a certain extent. This is also the main reason why traditional culture attracts people's attention in recent years, which is caused by internal and external environment. The overall advantages of image thinking in the Book of Changes can just supplement logical thinking. Learning the Book of Changes can help us to establish a development strategy with China's thinking characteristics, which will help lead a successful future. 3. Know yourself deeply: Reveal the secrets of individuals The Book of Changes understands the nature of the universe and reveals the laws of the universe through three aspects: heaven, earth and man. When we want to explore the essence of human life, we can't do without the Book of Changes. Through the gossip in the Book of Changes, we can accurately and comprehensively understand the essence of life, and only by knowing where the essence of life is can we better preserve it. Everyone's birth, in addition to the material inheritance from parents, also has its own time and space inheritance and positioning. The same orientation of time and space will have different effects on different people. The subtle relationship between heaven, earth and human beings has always been shown to the world in the gossip of the Book of Changes.

Actively manage yourself: The wisdom of health care contained in the Book of Changes is to grasp the essence of life and fundamentally pursue a health care method suitable for individuals. Health care is not a panacea, but a personality rather than an example. Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude varies from place to place. The relationship between the eight diagrams and five elements and the five internal organs, facial features and limbs is the fundamental understanding of Chinese medicine on the functional structure of human life. The essence of health preservation is to nourish the heart, and people's emotions correspond to the five elements one by one. Management from the country, to the enterprise, to the family, but the most basic thing is to start from "self-management". The basic purpose of self-management is "sincerity, integrity and self-cultivation". 5, knowing people and employing people, each in its position "Book of Changes" believes that the phase is born by the heart, the phase is the external yang, the heart belongs to the yin, and the yin is born in the yang. Learning the Book of Changes can let us know people from many angles, which is very important for business operators. Knowing people and being good at their duties is the key to the success of many politicians and entrepreneurs. Everything in heaven and earth has its place, and each does its own thing, which is bound to be orderly. At this time, there is no need to emphasize management, what is needed is the play of self-nature. The sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes are all very philosophical. Represented by gossip, we can explain the changing laws of everything and life in the universe, understand the truth of the changing laws, and teach us to go with the flow, and we can do it. 6. The layout of environment, heaven, earth, people and geomantic omen is the product of China traditional culture for thousands of years, and it is people's careful observation and real life experience in their long-term life practice. In particular, predecessors have left valuable experience in the site selection and planning and design of human settlements such as cities and regions in the Book of Changes. Its purpose is to seriously investigate and understand the natural environment, conform to nature, moderately use and transform nature, create a good living and living environment, win the best climate, place and harmony with people, and achieve the perfect state of harmony between man and nature. At the micro level, home and office are two places where people live and work. According to the differences of personality, I ching will choose the appropriate layout design of home and office, seek the best combination, adjust measures to local conditions, and adopt a lifestyle that is suitable for nature and beneficial to oneself. 7, decision-making reference, psychological support In our lives, we will always encounter some confusing things; In the work, faced with some major decisions or investments, I will hesitate when I have a clear understanding of the existing situation. Learning the Book of Changes will give us an answer and give us a psychological support to some extent. Zhouyi reveals and describes the inherent laws of the movement, change and development of all things in the universe, and this similar law of all things is the most important basis for the prediction of Zhouyi. The Book of Changes is essentially a practical collection of predictive thinking techniques and a reference book to introduce and annotate predictive activities. Behind fuzziness and contingency, there is inevitability. Of course, the Book of Changes is thousands of years of practical experience, which cannot be analyzed from a scientific point of view, but it will form a valuable reference for us.
