Lu Zu-qian's Yi-ology revolutionizes interpretation of ancient texts with images.
Lu Zu-qian's Yi-ology focuses on interpreting the Yi by using images and numbers to explain philosophical ideas. He believed there is only one principle governing everything under heaven. His approach separates Commentaries from the Text and emphasizes extracting philosophical meanings from images and numbers. Lu's Yi-ology is influenced by CHENG Yi's exegesis and plays a significant role in the development of Yi-ology during the Song dynasty.
