Human understanding of the world can not be separated between subject- object awareness and logical thinking. I think that there is no man lack of consciousness and object consciousness, nor lack sense of understanding of the process. The early Chinese pursuit of "Tian Ren He Yi" did not mean that there were consciousnesses of Chinese ancestors. The early Chinese had logic of course. While thinking about philosophical issues the early Chinese had long been many abstract concepts. For example, in the Chinese"Wu Xing Shuo", the meaning of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, were far beyond the natural elements. The Chinese traditional worldview and methodology were simple, but had a mature form. The modern and contemporary Western philosophies have modernity, but the development is not mature yet. Postmodernism also attached importance to human values. Way of thinking is always developed from the image into the abstract-thinking, then the mathematical-model-thinking, and then goes on at a higher level. Traditional Chinese philosophy is the case, modern Western philosophy as well. The difference is that traditional Chinese philosophy on the world's description of process-oriented, dynamic integration, the structure of the world it is vague and abstract description. Description of Western philosophy in the world pay attention to structure, with a static accuracy, it describes the process of the world rather ambiguous and abstract. Marx summed up the general development of the concept of early human law said: "The philosophy of the original form in the form of religious consciousness, which it has actively ,eradicate religion, the other from its positive elements, it still only in the ideal of their own oriented, into the field of activities of religious thought". The philosophy in"Book of Changes"is what the ancient Chinese divination culture produce, and in which to grow up. Practice of human society there is always uncertainty; rational people have to resort to extreme Department transcendental sensibility. Between the rational and the emotional dividing line not completely, which left a total blood cell survival. Measurement technique accounts for the uncertainty is the future of our ancestors to grasp a valuable attempt. "Book of Changes" could be used for divination, but were full of rational thinking. With the progress of human civilization, rational behaviors in social practice predict the role of a growing, non-rational forecasting behavior in increasingly small. The building of "Book of Changes"hexagrams was no longer good and bad speech at the core, but teaching people to stay out of trouble by virtue and moral integrity. Putting emphasis on moral education in"Book of Changes"hexagrams was a milestone of the development of Chinese traditional culture. It can be said,"Book of Changes"is a typical training on political and religious books, and divination is only a formality. After the Western Zhou Dynasty, the use of "Book of Changes" was steadily declined. After the Western Han dynasty, Jing Fang designed "Na Jia Shuo", and divination rarely cited "Book of Changes" hexagram. "Book of Changes" had been used in the Spring-Autumn period when the decision-making and other political and religious affairs and support. Since then, the function of"Book of Changes"in education was developed continuously and was in its peak in"Yi Zhuan". In the early Han Dynasty, "Book of Changes" was finally revered as the Five Classics of Confucian first and explaining the"Book of Changes"became an important way to build ones` philosophies.
