The book emphasizes using the "interweaving of numbers" from the Book of Changes Commentary to discuss images, interpreting principles through images and numbers, and verifying images and numbers through principles. Through horizontal and vertical deductions, the interweaving changes of images and numbers are explored, following the diagrams to seek the way, opening a joyful path for those studying the Yi.
