"From the book of changes", comments on Yao CI, Gua Ci is divination words out of the hand of fortuneteller, and divination is the major ancient human mind activities, the "book of changes" contain a set of ancient China cosmology. In fact, regardless of the ancient and modern times, people have always spared no less effort to explore the philosophy or science of the universe and nature. In ancient Greek mathematics abstract and natural observation are the two major methods for the development of western modern science, while the former is a "mathematic", the latter as "image or symbol", "book of changes" is the mathematical and divination system, the spirit is also in line with the two basics of scientific formation.
This paper takes the "symbol and mathematic " of the Book of Changes as the research direction, tries to analyze the raw material in symbol and mathematics, and also taking reference of the "Xie yi bi tan (Writing about Xie Yi) " by Hang,xin-zhai, “The Natural Philosophy of Chou-i “ by Mou Tsung-san, “Study of Yi Xue” by Ueno Kiyoshi, Joseph Needham’s "Science and civilization in China", and Wing-Cheuk Chan’s "Reconstruction of I Ching and Mantic Phenomenology.” This paper tries to start with mathematical physics from the aforementioned scholars’ studies that they have taken efforts in studying the reasons, indications and problem awareness of symbol and mathematics from “Yijing” , Hetu, Luoshu and Bagua. With the theme of Hetu, Luoshu and Bagua (this article refers to the "acquired Bagua"), based and established in the text, the Han Dynasty "Zhou Yi set Solution" and other annotations, then tries to cite ancient Chinese archaeological discoveries and cultural totem, extending to the universal modern scientific knowledge, the world ancient civilization context, to "Book of Changes" scriptures around the people in the surrounding environment, and people understand the nature followed by the creation of civilization. This paper has based on the three themes of life, earth and the mathematical principle, and human civilization, to strive to objectively interpret the "book of changes", "mathematic" and "symbol", which is not easy to change, the simple mode, in order to truly understand the prepared and refined, cultivated "Book of Changes."
