This paper aims to demonstrate the reality of worldview and the true nature of historicality inherented in the words of The Book of Changes, with the background of history before and after the period of Replacement of the Yin-Zhou Dynasty. By interpreting the words from a historical point of view, to compare and organize the tendency of speculative meaning while to seek the meaning of history a Confucian classic.
Chapter II, as the first chapter of understanding for argumentation, the development process of the Replacement of the Yin-Zhou Dynasty, which is the historical background of The Book of Changes, shall be understood in terms of the relationship between Shang nationality and Zhou nationality, the historical subjects. And it will be described into three stages; Dependency-independence-integration. Based on this, this paper can confirm the fact that the world had been transformed in the wake of the Replacement of the Yin-Zhou Dynasty, and define the historical will the ruling the class of the Zhou Dynasty, who built the The Book of Changes in this period of time, summarize the dictionary conditions to prove the reality of historicality projected in the two hexagrams.
In Chapter III, the study will prove a worldview of narrative ascension; a normative view of self-lawmaking; a philosophical view of the contradiction as the world view inherented in Qian Gua as the head hexagram of The Book of Changes.
In Chapter IV, check the interrelationship between six dragon, a superior person, a great person, the main subject of the administration, and tracks their historical background and conceptual origin. Based on the empirical records of the oracle bone inscriptions and the bronze inscriptions, the records of Shi ching and Shu ching are supplemented and described in comparison. The aim of this study is to define the existence of a superior person and a great person by referring to the example of the rest of the narratives in the The Book of Changes, after to demonstrate the concept formed between at the end of Shang and the beginning of the Zhou to see how it differs from the concept established in later Confucianism.
In Chapter V, prove the words of Qian Gua and Qion Gua is based on the history of the period before and after Replacement of the Yin-Zhou Dynasty. And also approach by dividing the word into the historical view that embodies historicality as a fact and the words that contains the historicality of psychological consciousness. The first one advocates a following Zhou Dynasty for those who follow the Shang Dynasty, and the last one refers or following the emperor of his servants. and in the background, it clarifies that there is a historical opportunity to integrate a world divided by conquest Zhou and Uprising of Three Superintendents into the center of the Zhou dynasty.
Above all, I would like to explain that there are many etymological and cultural clues that can prove that the period written based on the interpretation of historical perspectives is the end of Shang and the beginning of the Zhou and also raise the issue of the need for a separate professional argument. Finally, it is pointed out that the interpretation of historical perspective does not deny the speculative interpretation tendency accumulated over the years, moreover, it is necessary to move toward enhancing the empirical objectivity of meaning of a Confucian classic by mutual criticism and supplementation.
