Canceled: 作家： 曹樹堃《詩化易經》新書發佈及研討會暨湾區文化名人贈書仪式

      《易經》是中國古代的一部预测命运、探讨自然变化和人生哲学的经典文献。又称周易，是一部古代汉民族智慧的结晶，源远流长，至今已有三千多年的历史。易经由64卦，每卦包含六爻，每爻由阴（一虚）和阳（一实）两爻线组成，共计384爻，以阴阳二元论和五行相生相克学说为基础，通过变化和组合来阐述人生哲理和世事变迁。易经研究已成为中国传统文化中的重要内容，对中华民族的哲学思想、文化传承、社会生活都产生了深远的影响。

      《詩化易經》是当代全球著名的大师级制琴家、也是国学研究上卓有建树的文化名人和作品丰富的诗人曹樹堃出版《诗化老子道德经》后又一诗化中华经典的力作。

      这本著作运用大量自己创作的五言及七言旧体诗，诠释被誉为“世界最早智慧宝典”的《易经》。以普通百姓喜闻乐见的诗歌化译中华经典，是近两千年来很少人从事的大胆尝试。作者本“大道至简”的精神，将《周易》原文以及《易传》的象辞、彖辞，编释成诗，再从义理和象数命理入手，深入浅出地诠释最一卦、每一爻的含义。诗句力求浅白、通俗，押韵，朗朗上口，易诵易记。解释力求富于趣味，有助于开发悟性。

      詩化易經的發布會除了曹先生親自介绍本书的內容，還將邀請湾區本地的易學專家和洛杉磯的易學專家前來參與易經的研討會。幾位專家也將會作專題講座。   

     發布研討會后曹樹堃連同湾區各位文化界人士向三藩市總圖書館贈送各自的作品。

      The Book of Changes, also known as the Zhouyi, is a classic Chinese document that predicts destiny, explores natural changes, and discusses the philosophy of life. It is a crystallization of ancient Chinese wisdom that has a long history of over three thousand years. The Book of Changes consists of 64 hexagrams, each with six lines consisting of yin (a solid line) and yang (a broken line), totaling 384 lines. It is based on the theory of yin and yang and the five elements that explain the philosophy of life and the changes in the world. The study of the Book of Changes has become an important part of traditional Chinese culture, and has had a profound impact on the philosophical thinking, cultural inheritance, and social life of the Chinese people.

     Poeticizing the Book of Changes is another poetic masterpiece by Cao Shukun, a globally renowned master of the qin and a cultural celebrity with remarkable achievements in traditional Chinese studies and a rich body of work, following the publication of Poeticizing Laozi's Tao Te Ching. This book uses a large number of five- and seven-character old-style poems created by the author himself to interpret the Book of Changes, which is hailed as the "world's earliest wisdom treasure". It is a bold attempt that few people have pursued in nearly 2,000 years to transform Chinese classics into poems that are popular among ordinary people. The author's spirit of "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" interprets the original text of the Book of Changes and the Hexagrams and the Judgments of Changes in the plain language of poetry, and then delves into the meaning of each hexagram and each line from the perspective of moral philosophy and numerology. The poems strive to be simple and straightforward, rhyming, easy to recite, and easy to remember. The explanations are full of interest and help to develop insight.

      The release event of "Poeticizing the Book of Changes" will not only feature Cao personally introducing the contents of the book, but also invite local experts in the Bay Area and Los Angeles to participate in a seminar on the Book of Changes. Several experts will also give special lectures.

      Following the seminar, Cao Shukun and cultural celebrities in the Bay Area will donate their works to the San Francisco Public Library.
