Chang Ji And the Creation of the Book of Changes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 апр 2018
- During the time of the late Shang dynasty, the kings who ruled the land were merciless, and constantly fought battles and killed their feudal vassals to secure power. One of the feudal vassals killed was the king of Zhou, and after his death, his son Chang Ji inherited the throne. Chang Ji was a man of high moral standards and treated his people well, which made him famous and became known as a sage.
The current King of Shang, Di Xin, grew afraid and jealous, so he eventually tricked Chang Ji into visiting his empire and later arrested him. Di Xin wished to kill Chang Ji, but it was not allowed to kill a “sage” without reason. So he let him rot in prison.

I am a Chinese. Thanks for your loving I Ching. I can tell you that I Ching was created by Fu Hsi. But he only left symbols without any language or translation, because he didn't want the I Ching to be constrained by the language. And Chang Ji did the work translating the symbols into language.
wish history lessons at school were this pleasant
Being Native American, I love a good story, doesn't matter what culture it came from and I love this channel!
i miss these videos!! glad that you are still doing them!
I've waited for so long before you come back now.
Very interesting,I'm so glad I'm subbed to this channel.Loved it.
AMAZING!!!! Thank you!
wow this video is amazing! I love the animation. The video is very informative as well.
love the narration
Congrats on 400k!
i love these stories!
I think it should be epiphany, not apocalypse.
Apocalypse really means revelation, from the Greek (which was the language that the new testament was written). That is why in the bible it is also known as "the book of revelations".
The Idea of the world ending with a rupture, actually is more represented by the word "eschatology" which is the study of the end of things, like afterlife or the end of times. Eschatological was the adjective used to describe the prophets at the time of Jesus. "Eschatological apocalypse", revelations about the end of times.
Good job keep on the hard work
I love this one, I wish there were more on the book of changes
well done you just won a sub, since you have very informative and good videos on asian culture. Keep up the good work!
Very nice!!! Animation plus good narration is a very good way to learn. However, @ 1:07, did she say he experienced an "apocalypse"? Not sure about word usage.
Apocalypse means revelation or revealing, so I think it works. We only use it to mean end times today because the Book of Revelation (end times Christian prophesy) is also called the Apocalypse of Jesus Christ.
Little used definition, but the roots of the word means an uncovering, so something revealed that was hidden. Similar but slightly different from having an epiphany which is sometimes used although an epiphany doesn't have to be revealed to someone by someone else if memory serves .
JuandelaCruz001- Given the evolution of word meanings, this not an ideal word choice, even if it means "uncovering" literally. That makes the usage archaic in this context. The short story format tends to call for the familiar to make for very clear narratives.
In modern usage, epiphany or revelation would have probably been better for modern use. The word apocalypse to mean revelation is as about as archaic as using the word passion for suffering. Shakespeare and the writers of the King James Bible would have been at home with it but in today's world, it is more applied to a final destruction as in nuclear apocalypse.
Zhu Bajie Exactly my point! I threw it out there just to spark a healthy discussion. Ah, the nuances of word usage.
Great story!!!!
Could you do a video on more about the trigrams themselves?
This is exactly why I love to look into the origins of teachings like the _I Ching_ and the _Tao Te Ching._ The modern followers usually stray far from the original teachings of the ancient sages. And usually this is because the wannabe mystics (diviners, psychics, shamans, hippies, yogis, etc.) love to mix in their mumbo jumbo. And then intellectuals....well they miss the mark as well when they try to categorize The Way and Change as some type of religion or "mystic teaching". Thus they end up dismissing it as some "riddle".
Yaaas. They are Back 😄🌸
This reminds me of Neji Hyuuga from Naruto.
Especcialy with the 8 trigrams turning into 64 trigrams part.
*So in essence* the _I Ching_ was never meant to predict the future but, rather Express the changes that occur in nature when man follows or or abandons the Tao (i.e. The Way). And these changes are reflected in yin and yang which the Yellow Emperor calls the two principles in his book _The Four Canons of the Yellow Emperor._
make more videos like this!
Sad but wonderful story
Great
I’m enjoying these glimpses into ancient history but I do miss hearing you talk to us. You once mentioned that as a child your mom made you do qigong. I would love to hear more about other things that you did and what the expected benefit was and now that you are an adult, which things you felt were beneficial.
8 trigrams became 64 HEXgrams
He also had an epiphany and not an apocalypse
Apocalypse actually means revelation. That is why apocalypse book is also known as the book of revelations.
Hi! I love your videos! I'm studying Chinese and I'd love to watch videos like these in Chinese. Do you know any youtuber/website with short videos about Chinese history in Chinese? Preferably with simplified characters :)
Thanks for your videos! :D
These are great. Would like a little more frquency like every 3 wks?
The Book of changes even has it's own Kung Fu style of Ba Gua which Ang from the Last Airbender does, one of the Fighting style of Ling Xiaoyu from Tekken and or the Gentle Fist style for all your Naruto Fans out there
Piękna historia. Wystarczy być dobrym.
This could inspire a lot of good people
Excellent story of the downfall of the Shang.
Thanks i enjoy this very much, and I love the young lady voce that narrated it ,but some thing was missing, you Chen ,you to me is the Dynasty stay apart in front and in the back.
Time to post a new video here!!
I know that voice! That's doopie of danger dolan!
When the trigrams were put together they were now reffered to as hexagrams... the book of change originally was really for cultural purposes, and how to rule the country, the 64 hexagrams should get more emphasis because later on interpreted by King Wen then they are also used by Confucius appended kua text to the 64 hexagrams.
He experienced an epiphany, not an apocalypse. An apocalypse is the total final destruction of the world. You mean a revelation. He also didn't "see into the future" to know about the meatballs as they had already been made. He had prophetic knowledge of what had actually happened.
I'm confused. Didn't the hexagrams from The I Ching Book of Changes come from patterns on a tortoise or turtle shell? The dancing sparrows was new to me.
There's a lot in the subtitles that isn't in the narration, from 3:41. Odd.
Can you do a video about Dian Wei please? Tell us about his life and the last stand that I’ve just heard about in a different video. I was watching 7 ONE MAN last stands on IDocs TV RUclips channel if you want to know what I’m talking about lol. Where 1 man killed a lot of people. Eg a Viking (his name wasn’t known) at Stamford Bridge in 1066 that killed 40 men and held the English back for an hour on his own, sadly though someone went under the bridge and stabbed him through the planks on the bridge and into the groin. Though the English won anyway, putting an end to the Viking golden age. I know you wouldn’t be able to give more details regarding Dian Wei and his great last stand 🙂.
What happened to
Off the graet wall
(very trivial, but it's 64 hexagrams, 8 trigrams)
new vid???
Cloudy' with a chance of meatballs..
Does anyone know the chinese translation of changji? Like 长几?
Taoism + Confucianism = ?
First
To say hi
Next video, can you please make it about Chinese etiquette, from knowing how to let a waitress know that you’re done to showing that’s you’re jus taking a break from eating.
yeah, the names were all upside down. it should be Ji Chang...Ji Fa...
I was looking for this comment...
talk about chinas first forensic scientist song ci (宋慈). everything is made in china. wow.
Who is the voice behind this?
She runs her own channel called the friendly brain. I started watching her channel because of Mike Chen though. She's pretty good :3
I missed yours video, but why this type of voice?
Is this real or just for the purpose of education?
Sad he had to eat those meatballs 😭
It should be Ji Chang 姬昌, Ji Fa 姬发, not Chang Ji, Fa Ji.
we're in the youngest dynasty. LOLs.
So the Shang were right...
China was very powerful but the nation was made up of many different groups of people. I'm glad koreans and japanese found their own cultural identity. In fact, asians are appreciated because of their DIFFERENCES in culture.
What about the beautiful woman that was traded? Who was she and what happened to her? And how can a good man live with having one life in slavery traded for another?
Cris AD - Time specific morality and traditions.
Cris AD you cannot use today moral standard to judge the standard of the past thousand of years ago..... you have to compare to the standard of the time and culture
Understanding female characters as currency, and developing on a seemingly smart idea rather than realizing the actual slavery, makes the legend sound like a complete product of imagination. Some aspects got neglected in order to prove the hero right. Of course, this all relates to that "innocent mysoginy" of the time, and YES, people of youtube, YES you are free to notice ignorance and flaws when you are confronted with it. And you can recognize the cruelty and magnificience and impressive wisdom of the whole story still, just as much as you constantly recognize our modern culture has both developed and empoverished on different aspects.
It's ok to have an opinion.
Loving compassion to the women of all times who lost control over their lives. Bless their souls. They did not write legends, but they are our ancestors 💙 Deep respect xx
Cris AD He was a king. By cultural standards then,she, the "gift" was then either part of his harem or married as concubine.
Maybe the entire region of china could have been developed if they were made up of different ruling ethnicities like japan

very similar to how the Zohar and Kabbalah came to be in Judaism. A righteous man and son lives in a cave for 12 years from evil Romans.
