To understand the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun in " The Book of Changes ", we must first understand what is the Bagua? What are the eighty-eight sixty-four hexagrams? Don't think of it as dead, it is alive and a code name. Everyone said that after studying the "Book of Changes", they discovered why our ancestors' cultural thoughts, philosophy and science reached such a high level in ancient times? My opinion is that before the last ice age, human culture had reached its highest level of development. The more advanced a knowledge is, the simpler it will be. In the beginning, inventions are complicated, but when they reach their peak, they become simple and clear. Complex things are not considered true knowledge. The ancients summed up all the laws and drew them into this code name Bagua, which is very easy to understand. During the Ice Age, all human beings were destroyed. Fortunately, this "Gua Master" survived, relying on this little divination to tell us some information about the universe and heaven and earth. There are so many things these symbols express, and this is the first thing we need to understand.
The second point talks about the Bagua in the "Book of Changes", which is also the origin of Chinese characters. Human beings did not have writing at first, and writing was man-made. Chinese writing began with hieroglyphs, which are pictures and comics, and Bagua also began with comics. The so-called "Fuxi draws the Eight Diagrams", how did the ancients draw the Eight Diagrams? Is this how we draw it now? Is Bagua the beginning of ancient Chinese writing? Over the past few decades, some archaeologists have been reluctant to admit that hexagrams were the beginning of writing. But I think the Bagua is the source of Chinese writing, and the "Book of Changes" is the root of Chinese culture, the philosophy of philosophy, the classic of classics, and the center of the cultural center. However, you can’t find anything about gossip in archaeological documents.
Why is "Book of Changes" called "Yi"? Why is the word "easy" written like this? The upper circle with a dot represents the sun, and the lower circle with a gap represents the moon. Is there this "yi" in the oracle bone inscriptions? There is. In other words, what is the "Book of Changes"? "The sun and the moon are called changes" are the cultural rules under the sun and moon celestial system .
So the Bagua starts from the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun. " Zhouyi " was drawn by Fu Xi, interpreted by King Wen of Zhou and Confucius passed down. It was compiled by these three people. The so-called "Three Saints of Changes" are actually only part of the knowledge of "Book of Changes". There are three types of Yi Xue , which are called " Three Yis ": "Lianshan Yi", " Guizang Yi " and "Zhouyi". The one that has been handed down now is "Zhouyi". "The Book of Changes" begins with the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun, and " Shen Tongqi " uses the principles of the "Book of Changes".
