Research On The Thoughts Of Wu Renjie's "Illustrated Explanation Of The Book Of Changes

The rulers of the Song Dynasty valued literature more than martial arts,the ideological circle was relatively active and open,and the academic atmosphere was strong.It was this cultural background that made Song Dynasty scholars have a lofty sense of mission,not only committed to classical academic research,but also carried out academic innovation,presenting a new academic outlook.Scholars in the Song Dynasty criticized Wang Bi’s Yi ology and Fei Zhi’s Yi ology based on their dissatisfaction with the status quo of re exegetical interpretation of Zhouyi.Song Dynasty was also an important period for the development of elephant mathematics,and Yi Tu was the main manifestation of elephant mathematics.Wu Renjie’s Yi Tu Shuo explains the ideas of Yi ology such as "positive hexagrams","covering hexagrams" and "hexagrams outside hexagrams" in the form of "Yi Tu",and constructs its unique system of Yi ology.The Yi Tu Shuo,from the change of Fuxi to the change of King Wen,explained the process of "divination is not enough to describe the change of good or bad luck,and it is attached with the change of lines and the painting of covering divination to show its occupation".This paper mainly analyzes the book Yi Tu Shuo from four aspects.First,the background of Wu Renjie’s Yi ology.Wu Renjie lived in the Song Dynasty,when the academic atmosphere was strong,and it was also an important period for the development of the Elephant Numbers Yi ology.Since Kong Yingda was in the Tang Dynasty because of Wang Bi’s original book,Justice of the Book of Changes,the ancient book of Changes has disappeared.Wu Renjie,a scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty,based on his dissatisfaction with the status quo of re exegesis in interpreting the scriptures of the Book of Changes,tried to get rid of the mixed situation between the Book of Changes and the Book of Changes in the Han Dynasty,re examined the Book of Changes,and wrote the Book of Changes to reinterpret the Confucian classics.Second,Wu Renjie’s thought of "Fuxi Yi".Taking the "eight pure hexagrams" as the starting point,he expounded his unique thought of "Fuxi Yi" : the sixty-four positive hexagrams were made by Fuxi,which evolved from the eight pure hexagrams.At this time,the positive hexagrams had images but no words,and there was a "mutual cause" relationship between the positive hexagrams.Therefore,Fuxi made a sequence hexagram to express the meaning of the positive hexagrams.Third,Wu Renjie’s "hexagrams" thought was studied.Volume II of Yi Tu Shuo used eight Yi diagrams to explain his "Wen Wang Yi" thought: King Wen made sixty-four hexagrams and six hexagrams outside the hexagrams,instead of the sixty-four hexagrams made by Wen Wang as mentioned by the ancient Confucianism."Fu Gua" is based on the Qiangua,and all sixty-four hexagrams evolved from the Qiangua.At the same time,in Wu Renjie’s thought of Yi Xue,it is purely parental.In the part of the thought of "Wen Wang Yi",Wu Renjie made a unique interpretation of the thought of "Fu Gua" from the perspectives of "divination" and "justice".Fourth,Wu Renjie’s thought evaluation of Yi Tu Shuo.By comparing and analyzing Wu Renjie’s thought of I Ching with Zhu Xi,a contemporary scholar,we can have a more macroscopic understanding of the value of Wu Renjie’s thought of I Ching in Yi Tu Shuo;Yi Tu in Yi Tu Shuo has its own system and is full of innovation.From Fuxi Yi to Wenwang Yi,Yi illustrated the main purpose of the study of Yi,which is "the meaning of heaven and earth" and "change when one is poor".The book is highly innovative and has its own system.His theory is unique and novel in the Song Yi Dynasty.It neither follows the old theory of the ancient Confucian scholars,nor is it consistent with the people of the time.It also has a high reference value for the study of the development history of the Yi ology and the thought of the Song Dynasty.
