After Xia Million asked this question, the bosses of many jewelry companies on the scene all looked at Qin Feng with disdain.

Because in the eyes of these bosses on the scene, Qin Feng was so young that he dared to say that he knew the Book of Changes, which was simply a joke.

You must know that Xia Million is not only the vice president of the Jewelry Association, but also the vice president of the I Ching Association, but the real I Ching everyone, many rich and powerful bosses on their scene have invited Xia Million to survey Feng Shui for them, and the words and opinions he said often make these bosses very convinced, and his set of theories is very mature.

Qin Feng said lightly: "I Ching" is an ancient classic that expounds the changes in heaven and earth about the world, and "I Ching" is known as the source of the first avenue of all scriptures", which is the general program of traditional Chinese culture, containing simple and profound natural laws and harmonious dialectical thoughts, and is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years. ”

Xia Million waved his hand and said: "Qin Feng, don't show off your memory to me here, these are all concepts you are talking about, and what I am asking about is the difference between your I Ching and Zhou Yi." ”

Qin Feng looked at Xia Million coldly and said, "President Xia, do you really want to debate with me?"

Xia Million said coldly: "I don't want to debate with you, because you are not qualified yet, I just want to see if you really understand the Book of Changes."

If you don't understand, you're not qualified to talk to me about the I Ching here!"

Qin Feng nodded: "Okay, since you say so, then I'll have a good chat with you."

In the Department of I Ching, there are three views on the difference between I Ching and Zhou Yi, and these three views have been debated endlessly, debated for thousands of years, and no one has been able to convince anyone.

The first view is that the Book of Changes and the Book of Changes are not the same thing, and that there are three copies of the Book of Changes, and that the Book of Changes is only one of the books that has been handed down, and the other two have been lost.

According to Nan Huaijin, a master of Chinese culture, the Book of Changes refers to the three books of "Lianshan Yi", "Guizang Yi" and "Zhou Yi", which are collectively known as "Three Changes". The era of the three changes is different, and the content of the hexagram is also different.

Lianshan Yi was produced in the Shennong Dynasty and began with the Gen hexagram, Gui Zang Yi was produced in the Yellow Emperor era and began with the Kun hexagram, and Zhou Yi was produced in the Zhou Dynasty and began with the Qiangua. Some people think that "Lianshan Yi" and "Gui Zang Yi" have been lost and completely lost, but what we are talking about now is actually "Zhou Yi".

The second view is that "Zhou Yi" is "I Ching", and "I Ching" is "Zhou Yi", or "Yi"

There are also differences of opinion on the loss of "Lianshan" and "Guizang", and they believe that "Lianshan Yi" and "Guizang Yi" are not lost, but are unified into "Zhou Yi", and "I Ching" and "Zhou Yi" are actually the same content.

According to historical records, Shennong is actually called Lianshan, the Yellow Emperor is called Guizang, so Lianshan, Guizang are code names, Zhou Yi is called Zhou Yi because of the name of Qiyang in the Zhou Dynasty, in fact, their content is the same, there are different codes in different eras, "Zhou Yi" is "Lianshan Yi" and "Gui Zang Yi" developed, the basic content of the sixty-four hexagrams in the book is the same, but the Zheng method is different is the evidence.

The content of "Zhou Yi" is composed of scriptures and texts, so it is also called "I Ching".

The third view is that the I Ching is part of the Zhou Yi.

According to this view, the "Zhou Yi" consists of two parts, the "I Ching" and the "I Chuan". The Book of Changes is composed of hexagrams and epigrams. There are 64 hexagrams, each with 6 hexagrams, for a total of 384 hexagrams. "Yi Chuan" has ten wings, namely: Yi Shang, Yi Xia, Xiang Shang, Xiang Xia, Wen Yan, Zhi Ci Shang, Zhi Ci Xia, Hexagram, Preface Hexagram, and Miscellaneous Hexagram.

"Historical Records" recorded: "King Wen detained and played Zhou Yi". When King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned by King Yin, he made the book "Zhou Yi", which is the conclusion he made after studying the book "I Ching", and Chinese culture developed from this book, that is, from the hexagram of "I Ching". ”

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he looked at Xia Million coldly and said, "President Xia, I don't know if you are satisfied with my answer?"

After Xia Million heard this, she was indeed a little shocked in her heart, because she didn't expect that the situation could really be answered.

You must know that the three views on the relationship between the I Ching and the Zhou Yi are impossible to figure out if they are not experts who really study the I Ching, and Qin Feng can easily answer it, does he really study the I Ching?

It shouldn't be like that, if he is a person who really studies the I Ching, how can he do something like a-stirring stick like a sharp jewel?

Thinking of this, Xia Wanwan's eyes rolled and he dug a pit for Qin Feng again: "Qin Feng, do you know what the book I Ching is about?"

Qin Feng glanced at Xia Million coldly, at this moment, Xia Million had a very bad image in Qin Feng's heart. Because Xia Million's first question had already dug a big hole for Qin Feng, no matter which point of view Qin Feng said at that time, Xia Million could use other views in these three views to refute it, and it was definitely the Tao. Coupled with the support of these people on the scene, then Qin Feng will inevitably be regarded as an ignorant person.

This pit is dug quite deep, if Qin Feng really doesn't know about the Book of Changes and Zhou Yi, then he will really have to fall on his head this time.

Qin Feng didn't expect that the first question of Xia Million did not trap him, and the second question came out again, and this question was also relatively controversial.

Qin Feng said lightly: "Some people say that this book is used for divination and prediction, some people say that he is the originator of Feng Shui, some people think that it introduces philosophical thoughts, and some people think that he is a history book, in fact, the book of I Ching covers a wide range of content and everything in the world, no one can say what kind of book it is in one sentence, it should be said that for the book of I Ching, there are 1000 Hamlets in the eyes of 1000 readers."

However, it seems to me that there are many people who claim to be I Ching masters, but in fact these people do not know much about the I Ching, they are the moths of the I Ching, and they are swaggering and deceiving under the banner of studying the I Ching or the I Ching masters. ”

Xia Million's face was gloomy at that time, he could hear the meaning of Qin Feng's words, Qin Feng was obviously accusing himself of being the one who was swindling.

Xia Wanwan's eyes stared at Qin Feng coldly and said: "Qin Feng, don't play this kind of word game with me, although your answer sounds very reasonable, saying that there are 1,000 Hamlets in the eyes of 1,000 people, but what I want to ask is, what is Hamlet like in your eyes! Didn't you say that you study the Book of Changes, no problem, then tell me what it looks like in your eyes, don't give me a different concept!"

Xia Million has been able to mix up to now, relying not only on the level of flickering, but also on his super fast reaction speed and relatively rich knowledge accumulation. It's not so easy to be a god. Otherwise, how could he have fooled so many bosses into supporting him as the vice president of the jewelry association?

Don't underestimate the position of this vice president, don't think that every vice president has to pay a lot of money to the jewelry association every year, if you lose money every year, why do so many people still want to be vice president?

The reason is very simple, sitting in this position, can be regarded as a very prominent identity, this is a symbol of social status, with this position, he can make a lot of money from other places, the reason why the bosses present can become his summer millions of customers, it is also his position as the vice president. From the hands of these jewelers on the scene alone, he reaps millions of benefits every year!

That's how important location is.

Therefore, Qin Feng wanted to mix with the past just now, but was directly exposed by Xia Million, forcing Qin Feng to express his opinion.

It was only at this time that Qin Feng put away his contempt for Xia Million, and said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, the Book of Changes is fundamentally a philosophical book that oversees nature, and its Taoist body is unchanged, that is, "not easy". How to use the philosophical ideas of the I Ching to guide the practice of real society, conform to the trend of the times and the laws of nature, and promote the natural development of society is the Tao, that is, "change". Society is moving forward and changing, and the soul of Tao is to change with the times. To learn the I Ching well, the fundamental thing is to apply it and study and solve practical problems. Otherwise, empty talk about blindly going to the topography can only mislead oneself, people, the country, and society; divination and divination and divination blindly going down to the topography will make the I Ching a technique that is almost like a witch, and it is also a misleading oneself, a misperson, a miscountry, and a missociety. ”

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Xia Wanwan's face became even more ugly, because he didn't expect that Qin Feng actually understood the two concepts of ease and change, if he wasn't a person who was proficient in the Book of Changes, it would be impossible to understand. And in Qin Feng's words just now, there was an attack on himself in and out of the narrative.

This made Xia Million quite unhappy, because looking at feng shui and fortune-telling for these jewelers on the scene was his main means of making money, and he definitely couldn't tolerate Qin Feng smashing his own job, so he immediately sneered and asked: "Then may I ask Qin Feng Boss Qin, if you say that I Ching does not have the function of reading feng shui and fortune-telling, and even says that it is witchcraft, then why are there so many people in our Huaxia who tell fortunes and read feng shui?"

Qin Feng sneered and said: "President Xia, please don't misinterpret what I just meant, I just said, the Book of Changes is all-encompassing, it is the source of our Chinese culture, whether it is the art of Feng Shui or the art of fortune-telling, it is just a side-door application of the Book of Changes."

Nowadays, science has developed to such a field as it is today, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project of the Three Gorges Project has caught up with Dayu's water control, manned spaceflight has caught up with Chang'e to the moon, and the mobile phone Internet has caught up with clairvoyance and ears.

The sky is not high, and the people's hearts are the highest. If you are already an official, you still want to be a bigger official, if you have already made a fortune, you want to make a bigger fortune, and if you are already famous, you want to be more famous.

If your heart is too big, you will have more ideas, and if you can't figure it out, you will go to ghosts and gods. Therefore, high-ranking officials, wealthy people, often accompany divinationists, because these people occupy a lot of social resources, on the one hand, they are afraid of losing, and on the other hand, they want to get more, so there are more questions to ask. If you get up early in the morning to sell cabbage, do you still have to go to divination for a hexagram?

I Ching culture, as the source of the avenue of Chinese culture, has shaped the Chinese spirit as a whole, and represents the values, worldview, and methodology of Chinese civilization from the source.

We Chinese people pay attention to the path of "self-cultivation and family governance and peace in the world", the goal pursuit of "virtue and meritorious service", the four sentences of Zhang Zai Hengqu of "establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, continuing to learn for the saints, and opening peace for all generations", "There is no good and no disgusting body, and there are good and malicious movements." Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is the four sentences of Wang Yangming's heart study, all of which are based on heart cultivation, starting with heart cultivation, and based on heart cultivation.

The I Ching is the Great Way. Do all things in the way. A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. The way of being an official is to be diligent in government for the people, the way of business is to operate in good faith, the way of writing is to have true feelings, and the way of art is to produce more good works, otherwise, everything looks at money, society will have problems, and individuals will capsize. If you don't do bad things, why don't you be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door? The heart and body are upright, and self-improvement is the best eight characters, the best feng shui, and the most positive luck. If you are an official and don't make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, corruption and degeneration, no matter how good a feng shui master is, you can't save it, and no matter how high a master of I Ching is, you can't point out the way out. ”

After Qin Feng finished speaking, the eyes of everyone at the scene showed a look of deep thought. Although everyone's position at this moment is still on Xia Million's side, at this moment, everyone has to seriously think about what Qin Feng just said.

They had to admit that what Qin Feng said just now was quite reasonable.

Xia Million stared at Qin Feng, his eyes showed a complicated look, he didn't expect Qin Feng to know so deeply about the I Ching culture, so thoroughly, and to expose him so profoundly, which made him feel a trace of crisis.

At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly said again: "President Xia, what I told you just now is only on a personal level. I'm going to tell you about the overall situation, for more than 100 years, Western learning has spread to the East, and it has basically interpreted the East according to Western doctrine standards, because the East has lost its cultural self-confidence. At present, our China has risen, and it is time to rebuild the self-confidence of Chinese culture. As the source of Chinese culture, I Ching needs to change with the times, keep pace with the times, and need to continue to develop.

Therefore, as a researcher of the I Ching, we can no longer continue to only think about the harvest of our own one-third of an acre, and only think about relying on the techniques developed by the I Ching to make money for ourselves, but should seriously consider whether we should make some contributions to our Chinese cultural self-confidence, and whether we should consider how we can use our Chinese cultural viewpoint to explain Western doctrines, rather than Western doctrines to explain the East, and different standard transformations will lead to different results.

Not to mention, the most widely used computer technology is binary, that is, 0 and 1, as we all know, the inventor of binary was inspired by the relationship between yin and yang in our Chinese I Ching.

In Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, there is such a passage:

Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.

All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful.

In fact, if you really understand the meaning of this sentence, you will also understand how binary was born. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Feng's eyes stared coldly at Xia Million and said, "President Xia, now, do you dare to continue arguing with me?"
