On Chuanshan's Methods Of Studying Yi In Zhou Yi Nei Zhuan

Wang Chuanshan is an important thinker and Yi scholar in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties,and his rich thought comes from his profound foundation of Yi-ology.Zhou Yi Nei Zhuan is a late Yi-ology work of Chuanshan,which represents Chuanshan's achievements in Yi-ology in exchange for his life's access to and from the outside.This book not only has the systematic method of Studying Yi,but also has the unique view about the method of Studying Yi.On the basis of these views,Chuanshan also criticized the Yi scholars in the history of the Book of changes.Through the induction of several hexagram examples,the method of Zhou Yi Nei Zhuan can be called situational method.In this way,the scene is inserted into the hexagram picture and the hexagram line,so as to realize the connection between the image and the words.In order to interpret the basic tenor of a hexagram.The construction of the scenario requires certain steps.First of all,when interpreting the original meaning of the hexagram's line words,by extending the images in the text of the hexagram's line words,the object image is connected with the hexagram line to form a preliminary scene.Secondly,the moral principles derived from the hexagram lines are substituted into the scene,which makes the scene have moral implication and form a full scene.Finally,historical figures matching with the scene are introduced,which makes the situation more vivid and more subtle.The situational method of Zhou Yi Nei Zhuan relies on some traditional methods of Studying Yi.Among them,with the corresponding and the position two ways Most typical.The formulae are often accompanied by the interaction between the roles represented by the hexagram lines.The form of position corresponds to the situation and evaluation of the role represented by a hexagram line.In the history of the Book of changes,there are always contradictions and problems in the ways of studying Yi,such as the choose and appropriateness of formulae.Chuanshan answered these questions while studying Yi.Chuanshan provided two bases for the situational method of Zhou Yi Nei Zhuan by annotating text and Zhou Yi Nei Zhuan Fa Li.One is the basis of the Yi-ology,the other is the historical view of the Yi-ology.In the view of Yi-ology,Chuanshan put forward the viewpoint of "combined establishment of Qian and Kun",and considered that the two divinations of Qian and Kun were inseparable from each other.The whole is related to the other 62 hexagrams.This is beneficial to the integrity and flexibility of the method.In the view of Yi-ology,Chuanshan cut the "Yi" of Xia and Shang and Zhou "Yi",and thought that the Xiang Shu School was the continuation of Lianshan and Guicang,and the philosophical connotation school was the continuation of Zhou Yi.This is beneficial to the authority and inheritance of the method of exchange.Zhou Yi Nei Zhuan's method of Studying Yi ensures the essential attribute of changing ways to the greatest extent,and makes up for the shortcomings of the school of Xiang Shu and the school of righteousness.Of course,the Zhou Yi Nei Zhuan also has its shortcomings,which is due to the bad writing environment of the book.The method of change is worthy of reference by those who study in modern times.
