From ancient since today, people have to admit, is a great work "the book of changes", its essence content is about the divination, all of its contents, in almost all tell divination in great detail.So, why would become the core content of the zhouyi divination?Because at the time, human, almost in a state of ignorance, because of the lack of science and technology and cultural knowledge, many of the phenomena of nature, about the evolution of the cosmos, moon and stars, and the nature of the wind, rain, thunder, snow, almost all still can't find the most scientific and reasonable explanation, so they put the blame on destiny, believe in shadow, have gods dominate the fate of human being.

So, when human beings, no matter what thing, no matter what kind of activities they are engaged in, first will pray the imago, in order to get guidance and enlightenment of the gods.In henan anyang yinxu site, for example, unearthed a large number of tortoise shell, and the tortoise shell, at the time were used for divination, people put the tortoise shell in the fire burning, and according to the tortoise shell firing crack grain to judge good or ill luck, this is the "terrorist".And explore the instructions at that time the number of popular divination.In the zhou dynasty, appeared the yarrow divination.So in the rites of zhou, specifically documented "ab", the office is too bligh was based on "three easy", specialized management officials of divination.Is because it is a book for divination, yi jing didn't be qin shihuang ordered a fire burned down, and was lucky to survive.
