Abstract
Zhouyi is organically composed of the Text and Commentaries. Though the Text is a diving book coming into being in the Western Zhou dynasty, it conceives the theme of the time of the discovery of human. The Commentaries, Yi Zhuan, creatively and philosophically transformed the divining nature in the Text, exposing as far as possible the subjective position of human in the whole world uniting heaven, earth, and human. And thus extraordinarily enriched, deepened and distilled the connotations of the discovery of human in the Text in the highest level of philosophy, and hence founded the philosophical nature of the correlation between the heaven and human in the Yi-ology. The transformation from the irrational belief of religious sorcery to rationality was also realized.
