"Brother Tian, isn't the 'Book of Changes' just fortune-telling?" Fatty Huang asked curiously. Not only did he think so, but many people also held this impression.
However, Lin Tian knew that the true "Book of Changes" was not so superficial. The belief that it's a fortune-telling book was caused by some charlatans who misled the public.
Lin Tian explained, "It cannot be denied that in ancient Huaxia, due to low social productivity, people couldn't explain many natural phenomena, nor could they avoid disasters and misfortunes. So, the ancients wanted to use some method to foresee the future to gain benefits and avoid harm."
"Thus, through long-term exploration and practice, our ancestors invented the Gua Yao, Fu Xi's Eight Diagram, etc., to achieve the purpose of prediction. The Book of Changes was created in this context."
