Abstract

In the book "Yi Wei Qian Zao Du", it is said: "The easy is easy, the easy is also changing, and it is not easy." The so-called easy refers to simplicity, which is actually from the perspective of the Eight Trigrams themselves. Simple combinations, changes in yin and yang, encompass all things and things. What is not simplicity. The so-called changes are not fixed and unchanging. The profound truth of the Book of Changes is reflected in the changes. Change is the overall situation, and only through change can we truly understand the truth of the Book of Changes. The so-called difficulty, in philosophical terms, refers to objective laws. No matter how it changes, it follows certain objective laws. Change is not a blind change, but a directional change that follows laws. These three are interrelated and interdependent in the Book of Changes, forming a powerful framework system of the book.
The changes in the Book of Changes are simple, clear, and follow laws. They start from the natural world of heaven and earth, and ultimately manifest in human affairs. The way of heaven and the way of man are in perfect harmony. For example, the hexagrams and lines in "Qian" frequently feature the character "dragon" and provide a detailed description of the process of the dragon from hiding to soaring, reflecting the main theme of "constant change" in the Book of Changes. The final hexagram is composed of two hexagrams: "Jiji" and "Weiji". The names of the "Jiji" and "Weiji" hexagrams indicate that the sixty-four hexagrams have not come to an end and are still undergoing changes. From this, it can be seen how profound and profound the emphasis on change is in the Book of Changes, which runs through the entire work.
Although Chinese people highly praise the Book of Changes, there are few who can truly pick it up and read it seriously. The reason is simple: this classic reading material, known as the "head of the classics and the source of wisdom," is too difficult to understand. Such doubts are precisely a reaction to the Book of Changes. In fact, is this wise classic reading really that profound and inscrutable? The answer is no. When we truly grasp the essence of the Book of Changes - simplicity, change, and difficulty - and then read this book again, all problems will be easily solved.
The book 'Seeking Others is Better than Seeking Yourself: Learning Versatility with the Book of Changes' tightly grasps the essence of the Book of Changes, simplifies complexity, and interprets the feared Book of Changes around its profound connotations of' simplicity, change, and difficulty '. There is no need to say anything about meeting the needs of modern people or boasting about profound wisdom, reflecting and asking oneself, seeing through one's own heart in the midst of changes, launching attacks on oneself, and all doubts, fears, and pressures will be easily resolved through reading.
