The I Ching is one of the ancient Chinese classics, and its profound teachings and unique way of thinking can be somewhat difficult for beginners to understand. Wu Quantum said: Through some simple methods and techniques, we can learn the I Ching by ourselves without any foundation, and understand its basic concepts, hexagrams, dictionaries, etc.
1. Understand the basic concepts of the I Ching.
The I Ching is composed of three parts: hexagrams, hexagrams, and dictionaries. The hexagram is the basic unit of the I Ching, which consists of two lines, which are divided into yang and yin, which represent the masculine and the feminine, respectively. The sixty-four hexagrams are composed of eight basic hexagrams, each of which has three hexagrams, representing the three talents of heaven, earth and man. Words are explanations and explanations of the words, and words are the literal expressions of the I Ching.
2. Learn hexagrams and dictionaries.
Hexagrams are one of the most important parts of the I Ching, and the meaning and symbolism of hexagrams can be understood through hexagrams. The words are interpretations of the I Ching, and learning the words helps to better understand the content of the I Ching. Beginners can start by learning hexagrams and proverbs, and gradually understand the tenets of the I Ching.
3. Master the way of thinking of the I Ching.
The way of thinking of the I Ching is very unique, and beginners need to get used to it gradually. The I Ching emphasizes the idea of change, simplicity, and difficulty, and believes that everything in the world is constantly changing, but there are laws to follow. By learning the way of thinking of the I Ching, we can better understand its meaning and apply it in real life.
Fourth, the practical application of the I Ching.
The ultimate goal of learning the I Ching is to apply it to real life. Beginners can try to use the I Ching to explain some phenomena in life, such as using the I Ching to ** the weather, explain people's personality traits, etc. At the same time, you can also use the I Ching to guide your behavior and decision-making, such as choosing the right time to take action, making a reasonable plan, etc.
Wu Quantum said: Self-study of the I Ching requires patience and perseverance, and requires continuous learning and practice. Through the study of the above aspects, we can gradually grasp the basic concepts, ways of thinking and practical application methods of the I Ching, so as to better understand its profound meanings and apply them to practical life.
