Zhouyi reflects the origin, evolution and development of China culture, especially the development from witchcraft culture to humanistic culture. If the book-writing history of Zhouyi is a history of China's cultural spirit, then the whole history of Zhouyi is the history of China's cultural development.
The pre-Qin period was the beginning of the Yi-ology and Moggi era. Traditionally, Lianshan, Guizang and Zhouyi were published in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, I showed two completely different trends. One is to continue to develop along the divination road of religious witchcraft, represented by Zuo Zhuan and Guoyu;
One is to get rid of the bondage of religious witchcraft and develop into philosophy, represented by Yi Zhuan. Yi Zhuan is a masterpiece of the pre-Qin Yi-ology. Yi-ology embodies the idea of selling philosophers first, especially Confucianism, Yin-Yang and Taoism, which enriches Yi-ology. At the same time, Zhouyi thought has penetrated into various theories and become the universal value of society.

Among these three tendencies, Meng He's Jingxiang School is the most influential, which represents the mainstream of Han Yi's thought. During the Han Dynasty, the primitive religion of folk polytheism combined with Yi-ology, forming divination theology represented by Yi-wei. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zheng Xuan used the present to interpret the Book of Changes.
