Which version is the best for learning Zhouyi?
A simple book, you can't have a deep understanding after reading it, and it can easily become a gobbledygook! Small achievements in ten years, small achievements in thirty years, and only achievements in old age, endless research!
The deeper the study, the more terrible I feel about the Book of Changes! Because it is omnipotent and unfathomable, people can only understand a small part of life with wisdom and pass it on from generation to generation. It has been studied for thousands of years, but it will never end. Finally, you will suspect that it was deified and passed on to your ancestors, otherwise why is the Book of Changes so mysterious! It is hard to imagine that it could be invented by a mortal.
A single congenital taiji diagram has infinite mystery. If we use modern science to prove it, we always feel that our ancestors have infinite wisdom, and we really can't figure out how the ancients had such a brilliant world outlook! Look at the original text of Yi Chuan (Ten Wings) later, and there will be different understandings at each stage. Westerners read the Bible, Middle Easterners read the Koran, and China people read the Book of Changes, which is countless times higher than them.
You can't read Shao Kangjie's Classic of the Emperor in the Song Dynasty.

The Book of Changes, one of the Three Changes of the Book of Changes (another view: the Book of Changes is three changes, not the Book of Changes), is one of the traditional classics. It is said that it was written by Zhou Wenwang Jichang, and its contents include the Book of Changes and the Book of Changes. Classics are mainly composed of 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams, each of which has its own interpretation (hexagrams) for divination. The Book of Changes did not put forward the concepts of Yin-Yang and Taiji, but was influenced by Taoism and Yin-Yang theory. It contains seven languages * * * and ten quatrains explaining hexagrams, which are collectively called Ten Wings. It is said that it was written by Confucius.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, official schools began to evolve into private schools. There is a gradual development before and after the Yi-ology, and a hundred schools of thought contend, so it is easy to divide. Since Confucius praised the Book of Changes, the Book of Changes has been regarded as a Confucian classic and the first of the Six Classics by Confucianism. In addition to Confucianism, there are two schools of Yi-ology and Confucianism-Yi-Yi, which develop in parallel: one is Yi-ology, which still exists in the old forces; The other is Laozi's Taoist Yi, which began to be divided into three branches.
The General Catalogue of Sikuquanshu divides the origin and evolution of Yi-ology into "two schools and six schools". Two schools, namely, the school of mathematics and the school of righteousness; Six cases, one is divination, the other is auspiciousness, the third is accidents, the fourth is old Zhuang Zong, the fifth is Confucianism, and the sixth is history.
