During the epidemic, I accidentally listened to Professor Fu Peirong’s lecture on the Book of Changes and felt it was pretty good. I then listened to the entire course more than ten times over and over again. I dare not say how much I have learned or realized, but at least I have settled in my great confusion and understanding. Many people and things can be let go and no longer persist.
As Professor Fu said: If you don’t learn, you won’t know; if you learn, you won’t know; if you learn, you will benefit for life. Every time I listen, I gain more insights and understanding. I will definitely read books, but I want to listen a few more times and then read classics.
Every word can be a concept or keyword, and every concept needs to be clarified. The more you listen, the less you feel like you have learned. The so-called rational thinking of humans is actually mostly a linear causal thinking, and we may overlook or overlook various other influencing factors or variables in the process, which can make us lost. The Book of Changes is more of a summary and continuous revision of philosophical thinking and experiential understanding, which allows us to gain more insights and constantly remind ourselves of potential limitations. Learn to question, learn to learn, learn to uncover the truth behind surface phenomena.
