Abstract

It is not true that three pieces of writings, Shuogua(《说卦》 ), Xugua(《序卦》) and Zagua(《杂卦》), were said to be found in th e middle time of the Western Han Dynasty. Actually, only one bamboo book bel onging to Zho uyi, namely Zagua, was uncovered by one woman at that time. All of t hem came from the Pre Qin times, yet we don't know whether Zagua had a dee p connection with Confucius or not. Furthermore, this article also discusses the relatio nship among the four Mr. Miao or Mu(穆生), who were recorded in on e si lk book and two important history books. True is the case that four Mr. Miao o r Mu were not the same one but four individuals. This article holds that the tomb unearthed by Buzhun should be the one o f King Xiang of the State Wei, buried in the early time of the third c entu ry B.C. There are many unearthed bamboo slips connected with Zhouyi. We inquire into these books, and draw some conclusions that probably help other persons to understand the problems of Zhouyi
