Features: The purpose of this book is to adopt a modern perspective and cater to the needs of contemporary readers, transforming the profound and obscure I Ching into a book that everyone can understand, and turning the wisdom of the I Ching into a spiritual treasure that everyone can grasp. It is fundamentally a popular and accessible interpretation. For a long period in the past, the author's research on the I Ching primarily focused on historical interpretations. He once followed the thoughts of ancient scholars in chronological order of the history of the I Ching, objectively and realistically organizing the works of major I Ching scholars from the pre-Qin, Han, Wei-Jin, and Southern and Northern Song dynasties. He intermittently wrote some articles, but as time went on, he increasingly felt that this research approach was disconnected from the times and impractical. He realized it was necessary to change direction and explore a new starting point.
