On the Influence of Yi Culture on Modern Art Design (2)

● Ease of learning also greatly influences Western culture

The greatness of the Yi-ology is self-evident. Today's "Book of Changes" full of world is enough to prove this point. An example is that U.S. universities had established “fortune-telling” subjects as early as the 1960s and 1970s. Not only did Western students learn, but students from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and many Chinese children in the world also went for elective courses. . Taiwanese scholar Nan Huaijin said that some of his students went to the United States to study "fortune-telling". To this end, the gentleman also sent a feeling of empathy: The young country (referring to the United States) and the culturally ethnic group (referring to the Americans) are exploring and developing new opportunities for their own culture with bold ideas. The reason may be unreasonable. After the study, it will come to a conclusion. However, we have left behind the 5,000-strong cultural heritage of our ancestors. However, we have to abandon it and ignore it. We must wait until outsiders come to explore it and then boast about it. Let’s not talk about what Mr. Nan said about the “fortune-telling” discipline in the United States. Whether or not he is teaching a Chinese culture of learning, or a set of things from ancient Chinese wizards and sorcerers, or something else, it can at least explain the impact of Yi’s learning.

In philosophy. The influence of Yi Xue on Western philosophy is enormous. We know that Hegel's philosophy, which is one of the theoretical sources of Marxist philosophy, namely, Hegel's dialectic, his founder and the famous German philosopher Hegel, is subject to The profound influence of China's Yi Xue and Lao Zhuang's philosophy has created a positive and negative logic of dialectical logic. We say that Hegel is also creative. He also said that he is selling Chinese Yi culture. It is because I think it is at least a thousand years earlier than his theory. The classical Marxist writer gave Hegel high praise. Marx said: I must publicly admit that I am a student of Hegel's great thinker. Dialectics has been mystified in his hands, but this will never hinder him. A comprehensive and conscious description of the general form of exercise of dialectics. Lenin said: To inherit the cause of Hegel and Marx, we should dialectically study the history of human thought, science and technology. Engels pointed out in "Anti-Duhring": "For the first time, Hegel - this is his great achievement - describes the whole natural, historical, and spiritual world as a process, that is to describe it as In the constant movement, change, transformation and development, and attempt to reveal the inner connection between this movement and development."

Hegel proposed three basic laws of dialectics: the law of mutual transformation of quality, the law of the unity of opposites, the law of negation of negation, and the systematization of dialectics. Hegel's dialectics is exactly the result of Hegel's study and application of Chinese Yi theory. The Book of Changes says: "One yin and one yang are the words of Tao. After that, those who are good are also the ones who have become." Hegel admitted in his autobiography that the positive and negative laws of logic he created were inspired by the Book of Changes. In the "Lecture History of Philosophy," he praised: "The "Book of Changes" contains the wisdom of the Chinese people." It is said that Hegel once lamented that the greatest regret in his life was that he did not fully understand the Chinese "easy". through". In the above sense, Marxism, through Hegel's philosophy, also fully embodies some of the great ideas in Chinese Yi studies, especially dialectics.

In science. Einstein was the inventor of the theory of relativity. He had tried to solve the problem of unified field theory, which originated from Laplace, a famous French scientist. Laplacian once fantasized: "If there is a kind of wisdom to understand all the forces that govern nature at a certain moment and understand the respective positions of the entities that make up it, if it is still great enough to analyze all these things, it can use a separate The formula of the universe outlines the movement of everything in the universe. From the largest heavenly body to the smallest atom, there is no exception, and for the future, as it was for the past, it can be seen at a glance." ("Einstein's physics of the second half of the 20th century Influence ") Laplace was a Frenchman from the end of the 18th century to the early 19th century. He produced the idea of ​​Chinese philosophers more than five thousand years earlier than him, and it caused Einstein's bitterness about a century after him. Diligently exploring, unfortunately none of them can solve this problem. It's no surprise that, for a whole century before Laplace, Newton, a physicist who was nearly two centuries before Einstein, could not explain the laws of mechanics he invented. The problem of force. Then he fell into the circle of idealism and described it as God's power. It is said that issues raised by Laplace have been solved by Chinese scientists. Based on the "Book of Changes", Chinese scientists completed the "Causality of Materialism". The discoverer completed Laplace-Einstein's unified field theory in the process of cracking Fuxi's ancient Taiji diagram. This breakthrough will establish a foundation for a whole new set of natural science theories. It will carry out an overall cleanup and fundamental transformation of a series of scientific concepts in the world today.

Einstein is said to have been puzzled and why the development of ancient Chinese science and technology was far ahead of the West before the sixteenth century. He said: The development of western modern natural sciences was mainly due to the fact that scientists were able to rely on formal logical thinking represented by Euclidean geometry and modern scientific experimental methods represented by Bacon. These two magic weapons are not available to ancient Chinese scientists. Surprisingly, however, many of the achievements made by Western scientists have already been completed by ancient Chinese scientists. Some people later said that this is because Chinese ancient scientists were influenced by the Yi-ology culture from an early age, so they can treat our material world in an objective way and dialectically study our material world.

Dr. Joseph Needham, a famous British scientist, had a reputation as the author of "History of Science and Technology in China". Joseph Needham also had a keen interest in China's Yi-culture. He was extremely impressed by the I-Ching's imagery for practicing Dan-Dong. In his "History of Science and Technology in China," he created 12 news reports, communicated with Naga, and wrote Participate in the same agreement, the description of Dandan and Danshuo, etc. to discuss in detail. After studying the relationship between Leibniz's two-digit mathematics and the Chinese "Book of Changes," he said: "We see that his concept of algebraic or mathematical language is also influenced by China, just like The arrangement of the Scriptures is predicated on the same binary." This Leibniz himself has never denied.

Bohr, the founder of quantum mechanics, chose to ask the government to design the jazz badge he conferred as a Tai Chi diagram. This is not because the Tai Chi chart is beautiful, but because there is a law of quantum mechanics called the law of uncertainty. It is precisely because of the influence of the Yi Culture. In this regard, the physicist Li Zhengdao explained this way: "Newtonian mechanics has been replaced by quantum mechanics. There are very basic and very important laws in quantum mechanics, 'uncertainty laws'... Philosophically speaking, ' "Uncertainty law" and Lao Tzu said: 'Tao can be said, very Road, name can be famous, very famous' meaning, quite consistent with the place, so some views of modern physics, and the Chinese Taiji and yin and yang dual theory Similar places.” Obviously, Bohr’s quantum mechanics is deeply influenced by the Chinese Yi Xue culture, otherwise he will not think of the Tai Chi diagram of China in his Jazz medal design. The famous physicist Yang Zhenning, after studying the Book of Changes, also had doubts about the law of impermanence. Later, he and Li Zhengdao were inspired by the principle of the yin and yang of the Book of Changes, and proposed that although the parity of the atomic energy state is immortal, it is not invariable and there is a change in prosperity and decline. Major discoveries enabled them to receive the Nobel Prize in physics.

In terms of art. The profound influence of Yi Culture on Western art and modern design will be discussed in detail later.
