Features: The I Ching is increasingly becoming, if it does not reveal the true face of the I Ching, does not separate it from superstition, and does not cleanse the filth of the I Ching, many people will be deceived, and old customs will spread. Moreover, the I Ching, a rare gem born from the special soil of the Chinese nation, has its branches and leaves extending overseas, attracting the favor of foreigners. In Japan, India, the United States, and the United Kingdom, there are devout believers and researchers everywhere. This feedback from abroad has promoted the enthusiasm for I Ching research in the domestic academic circles. This book has three distinct features:
Focus on the comprehensive view of the I Ching. Currently, there are many divisions of opinion in the study of the I Ching doctrine. If the I Ching is compared to a magical mountain, then its research status can be metaphorically described by the poem: "From different angles, the mountain appears as ridges or peaks; near or far, high or low, each perspective is different. Without knowing the true face of Lu Mountain, it is only because one is in the midst of it." Scholars hold their own views, with no consensus.
Focus on popularization. In this book, we use simple and language to introduce the basic knowledge and terminology of the I Ching, as well as the various research achievements in the field. We speak at length when there is much to say and concisely when there is little, ensuring the content is meaningful. Readers with a junior high school education or higher can understand this book.
Focus on the scientific perspective. In this book, we attempt to discuss the I Ching from the perspective of historical materialism and a pragmatic scientific attitude, without concealing the bad or embellishing the good. We clear the dust from the I Ching doctrine, allowing the distorted I Ching to be corrected.
