Synopsis

The Book of Changes is a pure, quiet and subtle doctrine. We know that lotus roots grow in mud, but lotus flowers are quiet and beautiful. The reality of life is full of dust, but the truth of life is quiet and subtle. The "Book of Changes" helps us find the pure and quiet truth in the world of mortals and mud, and presents subtle wisdom in the impetuous and vulgar social phenomena. The sixty-four hexagrams of the "Book of Changes" can be regarded as the sixty-four changing phenomena in society and life. They represent the typical examples of all things in the world. They indicate the laws of nature, society, and life under specific time and environmental conditions, and propose corresponding wise countermeasures to solve problems. The "Book of Changes" has been around for more than 2,000 years, but every motto and every strategy in it seems to be written in response to the problems before us, as if they are golden keys that unlock the door to the problem given by our ancestors in advance. It is true that classics are always useful and classics are always young.

Reader comments

This book interprets the "Book of Changes" with pictures and texts, making it easy to understand in simple terms. I like the interpretation of the sixty-four hexagrams in the book. It allows me to better understand the changing laws of nature and society. Moreover, I was also deeply inspired by the views mentioned in the book such as "A strong dragon will have regrets, and things will be reversed when they are extreme". All in all, this is a book full of wisdom and worth reading.

If You Want a Book About True Taoism and a Taoist Priest, the Author Should Really Be Familiar with the Classics and Common Sense of Each School.

Want to watch something similar to "Chuanwu: Return to the Village and Show Off?" I'll add some books on "Learning Martial Arts to Become a Saint". It is best for the author to be familiar with some Taoist classics and common sense before writing this book. If the author is not familiar with it, I will not tolerate it. The protagonist should not be too young and have a good temperament;
