Abstract:
The divination method of the
Zhouyi, also known as
The Book of Changes from Zhou dynasty, encapsulates ancient Chinese cosmology and astronomical calendars, fused with ancient numerology. This encompasses profound knowledge and ideological systems that are intricately linked to the formation and evolution of agricultural culture and civilization in China over the past ten thousand years. The design of Beijing during Ming dynasty reflects the cosmic generation philosophy and astronomical calendar system embedded in the divination method of the
Zhouyi, crafting a cultural landscape imbued with
Zhouyi thought, granting the city a distinctive spiritual essence and profound humanistic meaning as a significant testament to the stability and endurance of ancient Chinese culture through the lengthy process of historical evolution.
