Laozi's Taoism has nothing to do with the Book of Changes?
It should be related. The following is a classic view of the influence of the Book of Changes on China culture. The Book of Changes, the root of China culture, was born in the Neolithic Age and is an important symbol of China's entry into civilized society. It is not only the earliest civilized classics, but also has an important influence on Taoism, Confucianism, Chinese medicine, writing, mathematics, philosophy and folk culture in China. The Book of Changes is a manual coding system. It consists of eight diagrams, sixty-four hexagrams and three hundred and eighty-four hexagrams, and is coded by yin and yang. It is described in words with hexagrams. It has a strict and perfect mathematical structure of internal code. It is the symbol system with the strongest rank and the most rigorous structure in ancient civilization, and it is also the earliest example of using system theory. The openness and compatibility of Yijing set an example for the application of system theory in later generations. The coding of Yijing follows the strict laws of similarity, correspondence, correlation and relativity, and simulates the development and evolution of all things in the universe with simple hexagrams to find the relationship between things. Compared with the modern science of concrete connection, it is a brand-new field, and its mystery is still worthy of further study. The Yin-Yang theory encoded in the Book of Changes, its extreme change law and the thought of "Eight Diagrams in Days" have a far-reaching influence on Taoism, which is the ideological basis of Taoism and regarded as "one of San Xuan" by Taoism. The Book of Changes is also an important source of Confucian thoughts such as the golden mean, benevolence and righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, the three cardinal guides and the five permanents, and is regarded as the "head of the group classics" by Confucianism. Yin-yang theory in Yijing is the basis of Yin-yang theory in traditional Chinese medicine. The idea of real-time positioning and keeping pace with the times in Yijing has a vital influence on Chinese medicine, and the treatment principle of "one person, one side, treating diseases" all comes from this. At the same time, it has an important influence on the formation of six evils, such as meridian circulation, eight categories of syndrome differentiation, wind, cold, summer, dampness and dryness of fire. Huangdi Neijing, a classic work of traditional Chinese medicine, is greatly influenced by Yijing. Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica in the Eastern Han Dynasty used the concept of gossip to take pictures, and made clear the principle of using traditional Chinese medicine. Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases developed the theory of Yin and Yang and Taiji into the theory of six meridians, established the principle of syndrome differentiation of six meridians and laid the foundation for clinical medicine. The Book of Changes has a direct influence on military theory. In Song Dynasty, Wang Yinglin said in Zi Zhi Tong Jian: "Gai Yi is a book, and the art of war is well prepared." Sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes are suitable for the choice of war maneuver strategy. Famous military strategists in history, such as Sun Bin, Wuqi, Zhuge Liang, were all deployed according to the principles of the Book of Changes. The History of Qi Jiguang's Anti-Japanese War also referred to the principles of the Book of Changes when establishing the array law. The Book of Changes also greatly inspired the development of Wushu. In the Book of Changes, there is a saying that "a gentleman uses a weapon to prevent danger", which has a direct impact on the formation of martial arts fitness and self-defense concept. Baguazhang, Taiji Zhuan, etc. All come from the theory of the Book of Changes. The influence of the Book of Changes on architecture is closely related to the theory of "Feng Shui". The layout and architectural setting of ancient cities should be guided by the theory of the Book of Changes, and quadrangles are typical buildings with balanced yin and yang and harmonious concepts. The "nine beams and eighteen columns" in traditional architecture are all inspired by the Book of Changes, and the turret of the Forbidden City is a typical example of this style. Weiqi is also a game based on the principle of Yijing. It is considered as one of the most complicated games in the world. Today, when chess masters are defeated by computers, computers can't even reach the level of beginners in the field of Go. In addition, the Book of Changes has had a great impact on gardens, medical care, environmental protection and agriculture, some of which are still important references. The unique theory of real-time positioning system in Yijing fundamentally breaks the myth that modern science can be "repeated" and emphasizes the particularity of contradictions, which has important world outlook and methodological significance. With the development of science, its far-reaching significance will be proved more and more. The Book of Changes emphasizes the idea of keeping pace with the times, which is the main source of China's traditional thoughts such as harmonious culture and keeping pace with the times. The idea of sequence structure encoded in Yijing is the earliest known model to study the sequence structure of things, which is more than 5000 years earlier than the current gene sequencing. The same hexagrams, Lianshan, Guizang, Zhouyi and Shaoshi Yi are different because of their different order structures. The idea of real-time positioning in Yijing is the root of the idea of "harmony between man and nature", which still has important reference significance for environmental protection and medical care. The fuzzy concept encoded in the Book of Changes is the predecessor of fuzzy mathematics in later generations. The four theories of I Ching coding directly influenced China's word formation and the use of the word "Six Books". Pictographs, meanings, symbols, sounds, annotations and borrowing can all be found in the similarity theory, correspondence theory, correlation theory and relativity theory of the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes has answered many questions about philosophy, astronomy and prophecy. It is a real dichotomy view, which is thousands of years earlier than Marx's theory. It pays attention to reasoning and conditional constraints, without any religious color. Through the deduction of images, figures and reasons, it shows a unique view of the world and answers pure philosophical propositions such as matter, energy, information, qualitative change, dialectics (primary and secondary contradictions, universality and particularity), overall movement and change, and human will. It is of great significance in world outlook and methodology and is unique. His dialectical view is the pioneer of materialist dialectics. The coupling law used in the prediction of Yijing first finds the perfect combination of contingency and inevitability, which is the first sound to explore the philosophical categories of contingency and inevitability; His thought of the unification of the dual world reveals the real image of the space in which we live at present, and implies that the dual world is the only way to solve all problems. Many commonly used words in the Book of Changes are still used orally by us today, such as "suddenly", "husband and wife turned against each other", "modest gentleman" and "eyeing". "Wo" is also synonymous with "eating" in Shaanxi dialect. The Book of Changes advocates "keeping pace with the times", the Book of Changes advocates "harmonious society", Tsinghua University's school motto is "self-improvement, respecting morality and carrying things", and Haier's corporate culture is "Nissin/Nissin". The rise of China in 2 1 century is showing the deep structure of Chinese national spirit. The Book of Changes has a wide influence on China culture, which can be said to be everywhere. It has a far-reaching influence on Confucianism, Taoism, Chinese medicine, politics, military affairs, culture and folk customs. It is a very complete and endless cultural living fossil in the world.
