近世以来,海内外研究易学之风大盛。据说,计算机的发明者莱布尼兹曾受到八卦的启示。然而,在《易》的故乡,对于组成八卦的基本元素卦爻,迄今仍无令人信服的解释,以致专家学者也为之慨叹:八卦启示了现代科学,而现代科学却不能解释卦爻这个古董。作为一个史学工作者,我近年在文化史研究中接触这个神秘领域,私心揣度,略有感悟,试为卦爻一解,希望引起讨论,以尽早破译卦爻之谜。一、卦爻之谜——历来的纷争和迷惘关于卦爻的含义,历来众说纷纭,有必要作一番回顾。 Since the beginning of the world, the style of Yi-ology at home and abroad has greatly changed. Leibniz, the inventor of computers, is said to have been gossip. However, in the hometown of Yi, there is no convincing explanation to the basic elements that make up the gossip so far. Experts and scholars lament that gossip has inspired modern science but modern science can not explain it antique. As a historian, I came into contact with this mysterious field in the study of cultural history in recent years. I have some self-confidence, a slight sentiment, and a trial of hexagrams. I hope to arouse discussion so as to decipher the mystery of hexagrams as soon as possible. First, the mystery of the hexagrams - the history of disputes and confusion About the meaning of hexagrams, has always been divergent opinions, it is necessary to make some recall.
