The living creature can't exist without the nourishment of water and the shining of light.The establishment and development of human society is affected by the laxity and aggregation of water and the sufficiency and concealment of light profoundly.And people's admiration for love,warmth and the power of justice becomes an emotional pursuit when physiological functions are satisfied and life continues.Based on looking up and down,the primitive people abstracted heaven and earth,nature and all things as symbols with rich meanings,which were spread through the interpretation of words.The combination and arrangement of the simple symbol system in the Book of Changes reflects the vibrant and orderly natural and cultural world.The 64 hexagrams form a well-ordered whole.Due to the stylized symbols of the hexagrams and lines,each hexagram forms a harmonious system,with Yin and Yang harmonizing and rigid and flexible mutually reinforcing.The impact of water and wind,light and earth on survival and social order is reflected in the "huan" hexagrams.The original meaning of the word "huan" is lax,and it is the image of leaving the huan to dissolve.However,the hexagrams in the "huan" hexagrams of kan and Xun have the meaning far beyond "lax".In Commentaries on Yi,the statements of the whole hexagram and the line statements of every line in the six lines were described in the compilation of the chapter,while the statements of the six lines were described in the Confucius' Analects using the images of nature to describe the symbolic meanings of the hexagrams.From the sixth to the ninth,each of the six lines in the hexagrams is in a different state.The interplay between the Yin and Yang lines forms a fluid and unified whole.It is the logical starting point of this paper to investigate the implication of human world politics and culture from the Yin and Yang system contained in the huan hexagram.The Confucius' Analects and the Symbols can extend their interpretation of the texts of the hexagrams and lines to politics and literary theory.One is when the flood,the king gathered manpower,cut wood into a boat to help the disaster;The other one is that the upper hexagram is the wind,the lower hexagram is the water,faddish water into the natural text.Although the huan hexagrams are only one,they fully and intensifies the philosophical connotation of the dialectical Yin and Yang in in the Book of Changes,and the interpretation in In Commentaries on Yi,provides a way to connect the symbols and human beings.The Zhou Dynasty civilization,infiltrated by the culture of rites and music,showed the atmosphere of flourishing times,from conquering the Shang Dynasty to establishing the ancestral temple,from being scattered to gathering the world's wise and capable men.The rulers of the Zhou Dynasty made great use of the civilization of rites and music to teach and make the civilization of the Zhou Dynasty shine with the light of reason under the soaking of poetry and music.The huan hexagrams contained in them were completely and poetically presented in the historical process of the Zhou dynasty,from the images scattered to the bright scenes.The poetic cultural gene of the Zhou generation continues in the aesthetic consciousness and literary creation of the Chinese nation.From the perspective of poetics,"huan" hexagram,popular water into "wen" image,and "huan" is intended to "huan" is the wen image."the Book of Changes" takes the way of heaven and earth,the natural view of the unity of heaven and man is embodied in the literary creation,that is,the fear of heaven and earth and god,the advocation of natural harmony and the awareness of adversity in times of peace.The cultural paradigms of rites and music,such as “poetry expresses one's will” and "singing and speaking",prompt literary and artistic creation to reveal the concepts of moral education,rites and music festival,and speech and application.In the literary mind and carving of dragons,the culmination of the classical theory of literature and art in the original way the affection by “the changes” three articles focus reflects the literature and politics,emotion and form and deal with the eternal topic of innovation,and appear in the form of highly concise literary creation of worship of the good or evil the aesthetic of “Brilliant”and “a vivid,artistically impacted of the pursuit of beauty”.
