Master Chen Yikui's Creative Ideas on the Modernization of I Ching
In the crystallization of wisdom passed down in Chinese civilization, there are many fields because of the ages and the time and space background is too long, which has produced a feeling of strangeness and alienation. There is a lot of ancient knowledge that has become the present in the 21st century. Vagueness and ambiguity, and even the phenomenon of different interpretations and different opinions. Master Chen Yikui used his own deep understanding of ancient Chinese wisdom and civilization, and then interpreted it from a modern scientific perspective, successfully deciphering the wisdom of many ancestors and deriving very convincing original ideas.
Take the "dragon" that appears many times in the Qian Gua and Kun Gua of the Book of Changes, thanks to Jin Yong's martial arts novels. Nouns such as "Kanglong has regrets", "Dragon fights against the wild" are quite familiar. However, for thousands of years, people who have studied the Yijing have interpreted various interpretations of the word "dragon" in the Yijing. "Dragon" refers to a spiritual creature in mythology. Some people think it is a symbol of the emperor, and some people think it is a strange animal that has really existed.
Under the research of Master Chen Yikui, he compared the prototype of I Ching and found that the I Ching was originally a record left by the ancestors when they faced nature and tried to survive. Based on this logical deduction, Master Chen Yikui discovered that the original "dragon" in the Book of Changes refers to thunder in the natural world, and the narration in the hexagrams is the observation record of the ancestors in the agricultural era.
