Tao " is the core conceptt in “Yi Zhuan”.Stuard on the theory of “Tao” helps us a lotto understand “Zhou Yi”.The theory about “Tao” in “Yi Zhuan” dates back to the ideas of the harmony betweennature and man. Tao” in Yizhuan is expressed by Yin and Yang. The relationship between Taoand Yinyang is like body and use.In “Yi Zhuan”,Yin and Yang express thoughts is not only inprincipium but also in Xiangshu area.They are not divided.When “Yi Zhuan” soluted “Zhou Yi”by Yin and Yang,the theory about “Tao” came into being.

Thisprocedure is from “TaiJi” to “Liang Yi” and finally create things.Utill lives are created, doesthey go through the four periods “Yuan,Heng,Li,Zhen”.In addition,“Tao” creates lives followssome principles such as simiplification and restless. In the other process we will talk about whatman should do and how to act. is right. Man should learn from nature,and help to make the worldmore harmony.,and in order to do so,man should inhance his level of morality. If people turnthemselves into saints,they will gain liberty and get on well with the world. The Tao of nature andman are not seperated.
