A New Interpretation of Philology in the I Ching (中文講授)
Together, we will delve into Wang Yangming’s Reading the I Ching, a poem composed during his imprisonment in 1506. Through in-depth analysis, we will reveal the dual layers of information conveyed by this philosophical work: one grounded in textual interpretation, and the other rooted in the symbolic imagery of the hexagrams. Additionally, we will conduct a similar analysis of Zhang Zai’s “Chapter 14 on the Great Yi” from the Zheng Meng. This chapter, which provides a textual explication of Zhang Zai’s study of the I Ching, will serve as a means to uncover the hidden meanings behind the hexagrams. By combining textual analysis with visual aids, we aim to enhance our understanding of these ancient texts.
