The Book of Changes: Misunderstandings and Truths
The Book of Changes has been praised as the greatest classic for over 5,000 years, and has been studied by countless scholars. It is also famous for the story of Confucius reading it so engrossedly that its leather strap broke three times.
The Book of Changes reflects the diverse lifestyles of the Zhou Dynasty since the reign of King Wen, and has changed along with the flow of history. There are various theories about its author.
The Book of Changes consists of the 8 hexagrams (卦), 64 hexagrams, commentaries on the hexagrams (卦辭), hexagram comments (爻辭), and the Ten Wings (十翼) that Confucius is said to have added later.
The brick-like hexagrams and the few-letter hexagrams in the Book of Changes are as difficult to decipher as symbols, and the diverse interpretations of the Book of Changes are also due to this high degree of symbolism.

The easiest and most fun guide to the 『Book of Changes』
As the author says, “My goal with this book is… I hope that everyone can read the difficult 『Book of Changes』 that even most psychics give up on reading, and easily obtain practical and useful wisdom that will help them in difficult moments.” This book is aimed at the Hangul generation, faithfully interpreting the Chinese characters in the original text and repeatedly explaining the original text in detail to make it easy to understand.
The interpretation, which focuses solely on the text, excluding the hexagrams, is an original and rich interpretation that broadens the scope of contact with reality, enabling easy and clear understanding.


Seo Dae-won's interpretation of the Book of Changes is groundbreaking and differs from that of existing scholars.
This book covers only the titles and main text of each chapter, excluding the hexagrams and ten wings for the 8 hexagrams and 64 hexagrams.
The author consistently maintains in this book the position that “the essence of the Book of Changes is not divination, and the Book of Changes is not a book of divination,” which is truly ironic considering that it is a conclusion he has reached after working as a fortune teller for over 30 years.

This is because I believe that the true nature of the Book of Changes is revealed when the hexagrams are excluded.
When we are not confined by the hexagrams, that is, when we read the Book of Changes as “a book of philosophy, a book of culture, and a book of practical wisdom on life,” without approaching each hexagram individually or seeking a method of obtaining hexagrams from them, we can encounter the concrete and rich world of the Book of Changes.
However, this does not mean that the author denies or devalues ​​the 'Gwae'.
What he proposes is a methodology for ordinary people to easily approach the Book of Changes and realize its rich world in reality, and it is a proposal to dismantle the existing method and read it backwards.
In this way, 『The Book of Changes Lectures』 overcomes the limitations and errors of existing commentaries and opens a path for easy access to 『The Book of Changes』.

A book on life that emphasizes practical wisdom
In 『Lectures on the Book of Changes』, the author demonstrates a true example of classic reading with clear, simple, yet profound insights that lead from ‘reading’ to ‘practice.’
As an example, the author's interpretation of 'Hyeok (革)', which deals with 'change' among the 64 hexagrams of the Book of Changes, a book of change (p.
Let's look at 513).
“A revolution is one in which there are no regrets [悔亡] and faith [有孚] when people who are past the time for revolution, when they liquidate outdated systems and practices, and wrong customs and habits, can complete any revolution without fortune telling [未占].”
By analyzing the signs and processes of change to determine who should lead the reform and how to achieve it, we impart the wisdom to complete healthy and meaningful reform.
This has significant implications for our society, which is facing new political and social changes in 2008.

The author also points out the core of the Book of Changes that no one has clearly explained, saying, “Although the Book of Changes clearly affirms and highly values ​​the hopeless life, it pays more attention to and applauds the sweat, effort, and courage of ordinary people,” and “This is the biggest difference from the thoughts of Taoism, Confucius, and Mencius, and Buddhism.”
While the Book of Changes is based on the universal moral principles and profound philosophical background of Eastern philosophy, it goes beyond this and has taken root as a guidebook that advises on the specific lives of humans and helps ordinary people solve real-world problems.

Interpretations of texts vary from person to person and from era to era, but the author's bold interpretation, which seeks to convey the essence of the Book of Changes to many readers today, is worthy of praise.
The author says that one should build one's life with the wisdom one has learned from the classics rather than relying on the secrets of immediate gain.
This is the intention of this book, which seeks to reinvent the Book of Changes as a book of philosophy, wisdom, and a guide to everyday life.
Through Seo Dae-won's "Lectures on the Book of Changes," we can understand why, among many classics, we should read the "Book of Changes" in particular, and why its value shines even brighter in complex modern society.
