Features: Yin Can and Yin Zhenquan's masterpiece, The Wisdom of the I Ching, is truly extraordinary yet returns to the "mind of" in the current research and interpretation of the I Ching. In the modern intellectual and cultural sphere dominated by rationality and instrumental rationality, people's poetic spirit and the original associative power 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 an early-maturing great classic of China, the I Ching is an inexhaustible source of Chinese intellectual and cultural vitality. However, this source of vitality has been obscured or even blocked from its inherent connection with modern Chinese people due to the "cutting" of conceptual thinking modes like rationality and instrumental rationality. 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 through the "mind of" can the source of the I Ching be brought into the hearts of modern people, awakening their suppressed original associative power. 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 authors' own enlightenment, guiding them back to the true essence of the I Ching.
