Features: Yin Can and his daughter Zhen Quan's masterpiece, The Wisdom of the I Ching, is truly extraordinary yet returns to the "mind of ordinary." In the modern intellectual culture dominated by rationality and instrumental rationality, people's poetic spirit and the original association it inspires are gradually shrinking. At such a time, The Wisdom of the I Ching appears with a posture that transcends the "norm of knowing" to seek enlightenment, indeed bringing readers a surprising poetic touch to their hearts. As a great early classic of China, the I Ching is the inexhaustible source of Chinese intellectual culture. However, this source of vitality, after being "cut" by the conceptual mode of rationality and instrumental rationality, has been obscured or even blocked from its inherent connection with modern Chinese people. It follows that the interpretation and study of the I Ching can no longer follow the dead-end path of seeking only rational understanding and abrupt enlightenment. Instead, only by taking the path of enlightenment with the "mind of ordinary" can the source of the I Ching be introduced into the hearts of modern people, awakening their suppressed original association. In summary, the reason The Wisdom of the I Ching moves readers' hearts and is warmly welcomed is precisely because it opens readers' enlightenment through the author's own enlightenment, guiding them back to the true essence of the I Ching.
