I Ching Philosophy and the Three Meanings of Yi
Yi Studies, rooted in the Yijing or I Ching (Book of Changes), is a central current within traditional Chinese philosophy, and its dialectical mode of thought is crystallized in the threefold meaning of Yi. From the ontological perspective of traditional classical scholarship, this article traces the conceptual development of Yi from a concrete term for an observable thing to a philosophical category. It systematically explains the scope of the three core meanings—change, simplicity, and constancy—and their dialectical substance–function relation. It then examines the practical application of this mode of thought through the traditional Bazi system. In doing so, it seeks to clarify the theoretical value and broader significance of Yi thought as an underlying framework through which ancient Chinese thinkers understood Heaven and Earth and made sense of the myriad things.
