The Book of Changes is a classical book of philosophy, divination and morality in ancient China, which reveals the law of change of all things in heaven and earth, and guides people how to conform to nature and achieve the perfection and harmony of life. The Book of Changes believes that man's destiny is not immutable, but can be changed through one's own efforts and wisdom. However, if you want to change your fate, you must follow the two "heavenly rules" in the Book of Changes, namely "Heavenly Time" and "Heavenly Dao".

"Heavenly time" refers to the time and solar terms in nature, which determines the growth and decay of all things, and also affects people's fortunes and opportunities. The Book of Changes says: "There are four seasons in the sky, five elements, eight winds, nine changes, twelve chens, and the time of the sky." If a person wants to succeed, he must grasp the "time of the day", choose the time that suits him, and not go against the sky. There are many hexagrams in the Book of Changes that warn people to conform to the "time of day", such as the "Qian" hexagram: "Yuan Henry Zhen, no blame." But it's a big deal. It means that when the "time comes", we must be bold in doing things, do not hesitate, do not be afraid of failure, and there will be good results. The "Kun" hexagram says: "Frost, ice to the end." This means that when the "time comes", we should be cautious, do not rush forward, do not act rashly, otherwise we will encounter difficulties and dangers.

"Heavenly Dao" refers to the morality and laws of nature, which determine the good, evil and retribution of all things, and also affects people's character and good fortune. "I Ching" said: "Heaven and earth are positioned, mountains and rivers are ventilated, thunder and wind are thin, water and fire do not shoot each other, gossip is wrong, and the way of heaven is also." If a person wants to be happy, he must follow the "way of heaven", do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and do not do evil and hurt others. There are many hexagrams in the Book of Changes that warn people to follow the "way of heaven", such as the "Xun" hexagram: "Xiao Heng, there is a good future, and it is good to see the adult." This means that when a person is humble and gentle and obedient to his elders, he will get small success, a favorable future, and the help of noble people. The "Li" hexagram says: "Lizhen, Heng." Cattle cattle, Ji. This means that when a person is wise, upright, passionate, and loyal, he will have great success, favorable divination, and good fortune.

In short, the Book of Changes tells us that man's destiny does not depend on luck, but on himself. As long as we can keep in mind the two "heavenly rules", conform to the "time of heaven", and pursue the "way of heaven", we can control our own destiny and make our career and life twice as effective with half the effort!
