With the constant change of time, our cognition of the world has also made a qualitative leap. On the basis of scientific knowledge, we know the world, discover it, and learn to look at everything in the world with critical thinking, as well as the wisdom and books preserved in ancient times.
However, the wisdom preserved in ancient China is controversial in the Book of Changes.
For some people who firmly believe in the wisdom of the Book of Changes, the Book of Changes is absolute wisdom, which ordinary people can't understand at all, and modern technology can't fully explore and understand it. This represents the advanced wisdom science, because the gossip culture in the Book of Changes, according to the records of the ancients, contains everything in the universe, where the yin and yang of the world are, and is the first of the group classics. Cosmic algebra? And then what? The jewel in the crown of science? Fame.
Nan, a famous master of Chinese studies, once said: The Book of Changes is philosophy in philosophy and wisdom in wisdom. I suspect that the Yijing culture is left over from the last ice age, because its scientific philosophy is too brilliant? .
However, there is enough evidence to refute those who think the Book of Changes is a feudal superstition.
In the eyes of some western scientists, the Book of Changes is a feudal superstition because western science was born on the basis of logic and experimental methods, but they believe that the Book of Changes is not based on logic, but on subjective imagination.
When Yang Zhenning criticized the Book of Changes, he once said: In ancient China, reality was valued over reason, and it did not evolve into deductive thinking, so it was called? Harmony between man and nature? Imprisoned by thoughts, it is of course stagnant to distinguish the rationality of the world with the rationality of the world.
Each side has its own arguments and each side has its own reasons. How should we treat the Book of Changes?
Some people think that the Book of Changes is neither a science nor a feudal superstition, but another way to know the world and a world view close to philosophy. In short, The Book of Changes is a philosophical work and a world view theory of philosophical thinking.
Compared with science, philosophy understands the world from the whole part, while science understands the world from the part to achieve the whole. Maybe the Book of Changes is a kind of thinking, a kind of thinking about the whole world outlook.
At present, most of our understanding of the world is explored by the most intuitive scientific methods, while philosophy is observed under the overall thinking. For modern times, when we use scientific tools, we need to inject philosophical thinking to look at the overall situation.
From a philosophical point of view, The Book of Changes is our eternal pursuit of thinking. Perhaps in the future, with the further development of science and technology, we will have a new view of the Book of Changes, which can only be tested by time.
