学《易》浅识

《易》在历史上是一部备受推崇,同时又有着广泛国际影响的著作。《易》分为"经"和"传"两部分,其中"经"又包含有"卦辞"和"爻辞","传"又分为"大传"和"小传"。每一部分都有不少神秘的和迷信的难解难读的问题,但同时又蕴涵有先哲们朴素的哲理智慧和辩证的思维方法。其成书已久,成书过程说法不一,难以考证;发展过程中,更是识随时迁。所以,在国学的学习中,学《易》一直是一个较难的问题。我们当今学者在对《易》进行研读与评价时,必须注意到《易》的这些特点,运用好历史的、唯物的和辩证的方法。

A Study of Yi

Yi is a well-known book in history and has a significant influence in the world.Yi consists of two parts: Jing and Zhuan.Jing includes Remarks to the Hexagram and the Lines,and Zhuan includes big preach and small preach.Every part contains a few mysterious and superstitious issues which are difficult to understand and explain,but at the same time,they indicate the simple philosophical wisdom and dialectical thinking of the sages.Yi has a long history,but it is hard to confirm how the book was completed as the idea about this differs from person to person and changes from period to period.Hence,in the studies of Chinese ancient civilization,Yi has been always the difficult part.As a modern scholar,we should notice the characteristics of Yi when we study and evaluate it,making good use of the historical,materialist and dialectical methods.
