对《周易》整体卦序的几种“观象”读法

传统的《周易》可分为“象数”、“义理”两派：至于传统“义理”派注解 的诠释策略，主要是对单卦的逐个阐释。本人写这篇文章，要尝试以“义理”的眼光为整体卦序提出象征诠释。本人认为《周易》首先要当做一部“作品”来诠释， 并且是一部以象征符号为媒材的作品。本人近几年有机会跟中国新一代的艺术家交往，受了他们影响和感染。艺术家要具备创造的热情和能量，要善于运用多种诠释 框架。本人愿意尝试以创造性的方式来体会、理解《周易》这个符号矩阵里的文化符号。本人追求的是一种开放性的诠释策略，要做到多元与多义，但不要从“零” 开始，因为古人留下了很多宝贵的诠释资源和线索，也希望从他们的诠释中获得启示和灵感。

Image-Based Readings of the Entire Hexagram Sequence in the Yijing

The traditional interpretation of Zhou Yi can be divided into two schools: xiangshu (symbols and numbers) and yili (meaning and reasoning).The exegetical strategy of the yili school is the one-by-one interpretation of individual hexagrams. The purpose of my paper is to use the perspective of “meaning and reasoning” to propose a symbolic explanation for the whole order of hexagrams. I think that the Zhou Yi should be primarily perceived and interpreted as a kind of “artifact,” and it is a work that uses the medium of symbolic signs. In the last few years, I have had the opportunity to be in contact with the new generation of Chinese artists. An artist should have the enthusiasm and energyto create, and make good use of multiple interpretive frameworks. Thus, also having been influenced by them, I try to use a creative method to probe into and to understand the cultural signs of the rules and symbols of the Zhou Yi. I search for an open strategy to interpret the book, namely to obtain a variety of meaning and polyvalence, but this does not mean that I start from “zero,” because the ancients have handed down to us many precious resources and approaches for interpretation. I also hope that their interpretations will provide some revelations and inspirations.
