Throughout history, literary masters and theorists have touched upon this connection. For example, Yang Xiong of the Han Dynasty wrote in Tai Xuan*(The Supreme Mystery) and Fa Yan (Exemplary Sayings): <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Speech is the voice of the heart; writing is the painting of the heart.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Those of us here involved in calligraphy, do you see? Speech is the voice of the heart\u2014the words we utter are sounds emerging from within. Music involves three ascending levels: sheng (sound), yin (tone), and yue<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>(music). Any plant or animal can produce sheng (sounds) under certain conditions, but that doesn\u2019t mean they possess yin (musical tone). If you have yin, and its quality is good, that is innate\u2014but does it rise to the level of yue (music)? Only yue progressively approaches human culture. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Writing is the painting of the heart. True calligraphy, true writing, is the trace left by our inner self\u2014an imprint of the heart. Ink and brush are merely tools. To reach that state, your heart must be sincere and your vision clear\u2014it\u2019s all the same principle. This at least constitutes one key aspect. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Wang Chong\u2019s Lunheng (Balanced Discourses) explicitly draws on the I Ching\u2019s concepts of celestial and human patterns. Liu Xie, of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in the &#8220;Yuandao&#8221; (Origins of the Way) chapter of his Wenxin Diaolong (The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons), articulates the relationship between celestial patterns (tianwen) and human culture (renwen). Back when I was pursuing my doctorate, our professor required each of us to recite this chapter in front of him. I did memorize it\u2014even though I was among the older students in my class, I put in the effort. Though I no longer remember it word for word now, the essence remains with me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Yao Nai of the Qing Dynasty spoke of the beauty of vigor (yanggang) and the beauty of grace (yinrou), which later crystallized into aesthetic principles. Wang Guowei\u2019s Renjian Cihua (Poetic Remarks in the Human World) embodies elegance, while Lu Xun\u2019s Moluo Shili Shuo (On the Power of Mara Poetry) discusses strength\u2014all these ideas trace back to the philosophy embedded within the I Ching. Indeed, the I Ching is truly the mother of all humanities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Aren\u2019t we talking about binary code in computing today? When Leibniz discovered binary arithmetic, he was inspired by China\u2019s I Ching. But we shouldn\u2019t overstate the case\u2014claiming binary was &#8220;invented&#8221; by us or that computers were &#8220;created&#8221; by us. To me, such claims don\u2019t reflect true cultural confidence; they feel forced. I\u2019m wary of such strained narratives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now, let me share a passage I once memorized. I\u2019ll briefly revisit it here for everyone: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;The virtue of wen (pattern\/culture) is vast indeed; it coexists with Heaven and Earth. How so? The mingling of dark and light hues, the distinction between square and round forms; the sun and moon like overlapping jade disks, casting images of celestial splendor; mountains and rivers ablaze with splendor, spreading patterns across the earth\u2014this is the wen of the Dao. Looking up, we observe radiant phenomena; looking down, we discern latent beauty. High and low find their places, thus the Two Forms (yin and yang) are born. Humanity partakes in this, gathering spiritual essence\u2014this is called the Three Powers (Heaven, Earth, Humanity). Humanity is the flower of the Five Phases, the very heart of Heaven and Earth. When the heart is born, speech is established; when speech is established, wen (culture\/civilization) shines forth\u2014this is the Dao of nature.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><div class=\"floating-menu float-menu-1 notranslate\"><ul class=\"fm-bar\"><li class=\"fm-item-1-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/recommend.php\" target=\"_self\" ><div class=\"fm-icon\"><i class=\"fab fa-youtube \"><\/i><\/div><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within the beauty of the I Ching, the sixth point conce [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-doorm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6390"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6390\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6391,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6390\/revisions\/6391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
