Interpretation: In order to correspond to the "San Gua", "Yi Gua" further uses the historical facts of Zhou Dynasty from prosperity to decline and about to peril to expound the principle of mutual transformation of gain and loss, and is intended to warn the rulers of Zhou Dynasty to take timely measures to prevent the decline of the Zhou Dynasty.
The author's good intentions are indeed understandable and profound. However, what we often see is: the deviation between truth and facts, the distortion of human will and the trend of historical development, and the rulers are arbitrarily, stubborn, or self-righteous, or profitable, and ruin the family and country.
In traditional Chinese society, the emperor is special. The power of the system to determine the truth is very limited, and the political factor that determines the decisive role is the personal will of the ruler. The power of the emperor without any constraints can be infinitely expanded. Whether the truth works depends entirely on the personal likes and dislikes of the ruler. As we have seen, no matter how profound the author of " Zhouyi " explains the principle of loss and benefit, it still fails to save the decline of the Zhou Dynasty.
This reminds us that for the truth to truly play a role, it must be combined with power (including various forms: legal, political, public opinion, institutional, etc.) and appeal to the individual in the form of coercive or public, rather than the contrary. In this sense, it is probably more profound to understand that "there has never been a savior."
