What is above the form is called the Dao——analysis of the ontology of Yi zhuan

Based on social practice. Yi zhuan summarized the Dao (Way) with the assertion that (The interaction between) Yin and Yang is called the Dao, pointing out that Qian ( ) and Kun ( ) form the root of the Yi and Yin Yang is the origin and basis for the existence of the multitude of things. From this point, Yi zhuan unfolded its ontological philosophical system. This understanding and creative interpretation based on image-numberology and analogy enabled the Yi jing to accomplish a reform from divination to metaphysics and opened a hermeneutic approach to humanism, which exerted profound influence upon the orientation of thinking of Chinese philosophy.
