A New Interpretation ofBook of Change with Modern Mathematic Theories

The fan-shaped “evolution chart of the universe” was designed with the mutual reference to the theories of modern natural sciences and the mathematics of ancient China. The chart shows two extremes, four animals which stand for four directions and eight diagrams with the numbers zero and one. Taiji originated from Kun, and it has linked eight diagrams with the modern mathematic theories. The relation between Tao and energy is in fact the one between connotation and denotation. They are the noumenon and origin respectively in universe. And material is the expression of integration between energies from different dimensions. The three dimensions are the turning point in the evolution of Tao and energy. They backed up Einstein's formula of relative theory and the Mendeleev's periodic table of elements. On this basis, universe might be born out of the fusion of energy. The two hypotheses concerning the birth of the universe in ancient China are unified, but not contradictory with each other.
