Zhouyi is the treasure of Chinese civilization and the root of traditional culture. It is known as the first of the group scriptures. After learning the Zhouyi, later generations have achieved people like Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bowen who have passed on through the ages and are like gods, but they also appeared Many lunatics, why is this?
Many people have read Zhouyi, and many people try to learn it. However, after studying Zhouyi, whether it is guided by a famous teacher or self-study, most people often find that after studying it, it seems that they have not learned it. Because I forgot.
Most of the people who study Zhouyi forgot after learning. It is not that they did not study seriously or for other reasons, but that they learned too much. This is the same as a chef teaching an apprentice to cook. At first, you only teach him how to use spoons, shovel, wok and other tools. If you teach from the beginning, it is estimated that apprentices are not good cooks. .
is the same when learning Zhouyi. At the beginning, I started to learn from the theoretical stuff. First, I figured out what yin and yang are. When many people thought they had something to learn from Zhouyi, they found that he actually didn't even figure out what yin and yang are. Even antagonism, yang during the day, yin at night, yang for men, yin for women, etc. This is no different from not learning, because he did not learn the Yijing, but the Yijing taught him to be a fool. .
To study the Book of Changes, you must first figure out the yin and yang, and understand that there is yang in yin and yin in yang, complementarity between yin and yang, and the truth that solitary yang does not last, and solitary yin does not exist. If you can't figure it out, just figure it out and learn it again, otherwise Learning is also white learning. So many people rush down to school before they understand this, but they finish learning and forget it, because knowledge passes through your brain and you can’t digest it.
Yin and Yang are about the overall attributes of things, while the five elements are looking for relative relations. The theory of the five elements appeared earlier than the theory of Yin and Yang. When studying the Zhouyi, don’t rush to learn the theory of the five elements of Yin and Yang, because there are more theories of the five elements. The method is used in the survey, so you first learn the image, theory, and art, then slowly study the account. Don't teach yourself the quick method of fortune-telling. Go up and learn fortune-telling. If you don't have anyone to guide you, it is easy to go astray, or even cause unnecessary trouble for yourself. This is why the ancients said that those who are good and easy are not accounted for. If going up is like a fortune-teller, a scholar comes up to write a hexagram, and then explains the Shinto Taoism, this Zhou Yi basically just learned it, or learned it wrong. Because I haven't learned the fur, and I don't know the mystery of it, and I just look for my fate, which often attracts unnecessary cause and effect for myself. Why did
say that many people were closed at the end? Most of them are because the foundation is not well laid out, and there is no system to study step by step. If you don’t understand the yin and yang, you can combine the yin and yang to learn the five elements. What kind of sacred books for fortune-telling, such as Meihuayiyi, and so on. In the end, the amount of information is too large, and there are too many books to interpret Zhouyi in the past few days. It is estimated that it will take decades to understand these books. I also forgot, and finally people were tortured crazy.
Those who really understand Zhouyi generally read it after experiencing some social life, that is, after the age of 30, they have a certain social experience before they can understand some of the meanings, and then learn from a certain Start learning from the perspective of business, for example, from the perspective of business, learn from the perspective of strategic warfare, learn from the perspective of life, and so on, and then draw inferences about it, don't eat a fat man, greedy often can't digest it.
Don’t deify the Zhouyi in the end, he is just an enlightenment book, use reason to see and learn from him, and finally gain great wisdom.
