The "Book of Changes" relatively comprehensively records the thoughts of King Wen of Zhou as the commander-in-chief of the Zhou Kingdom during the downturn in the struggle between the Zhou Kingdom and the Shang Dynasty. This is a work produced in a specific historical period and under specific historical conditions. The text of the "Book of Changes" contains many words of depressive warning and few words of joy and encouragement. This is inseparable from the specific historical environment at that time. When studying the "Book of Changes", it will be more helpful if you first understand the historical background at that time. This is also the original intention of writing this book.
Reader comments
This book gave me a deeper understanding of the "Book of Changes" and its important position in traditional Chinese culture. I especially like the description of King Wen of Zhou in the book. I was inspired by his tenacity and wisdom in difficult situations. Moreover, this book also made me realize that our education should not only focus on knowledge, but also cultivate a correct outlook on life and methods of doing things. This is really important!
The textual research reasoning is rigorous and well-founded, the hexagram explanations are clear and clear, and the author has profound knowledge, showing everyone's style!
