在中国传统“六艺”中，“数”是必学的科目之一。中国古人早已掌握了高科技的数学、物理学、工程学和气候学等一系列科学，秦始皇陵的精深与伟大提供了最好的佐证。

In the traditional Chinese "six arts", "mathematics" is one of the compulsory subjects. Ancient Chinese people had long mastered a range of high-tech sciences, such as mathematics, physics, engineering and climatology. The elaboration and magnificence of the First Emperor's mausoleum has provided the best evidence.

那么，在《易经》中，“数”体现在哪里呢？

So, how is “mathematics”embodied in“the Book of Changes”?

“一”在中华文化中是最大的数字，“一”是理解“易学”的关键。所谓的八卦就是把一个整体分成八份，所谓的五行就是把整体分成五份。

"One" is the largest number in Chinese culture, and "one" is also the key to understanding the "Yi theory". The so-called Eight Diagrams is to divide a whole into eight parts, and the so-called five elements is to divide the whole into five parts.

黄谦老师着重为同学们解释了中华文化中的“一以贯之”的思维体系。他谈到，易学并不仅仅适用某一方面，而是处处都能运用。因此，我们要树立整体观，整体不是“非黑即白”，而是黑白之间相互转化，黑白相互嵌套，这便是易学的智慧。

Mr. Huang emphasized the thinking system of "consistency" in Chinese culture. He said that Yi theory can apply to every aspect of our life rather than to only one aspect. Therefore, we should adopt a holistic view, which means the whole is not“if not black then white”, but the conversion from black into white or vice versa, or a mixture of black and white, which is the wisdom of “Yi Theory”.

“整体观”的内核在于“阴阳”之道。从“整体性”的“一”分出的“二”便是“阴和阳”。当人具有阴阳思维的时候，就能够看透事物的本质和内在逻辑。

黄谦老师用两根不同的线条来解释“阴阳”之道，他谈到，用简单的两根线条就能把这个世界进行不断地区分，逐渐让世界变得高清，逐步建立多维的认知。

The core of holistic view lies in the way of “Yin and Yang”. The "two" separated from the "one" of "the holistic view" are "Yin and Yang". When people have Yin and Yang thinking, they can see through things and find out their essence and internal logic behind.

While explaining the theory of "Yin and Yang", he said he could use two separate simple lines to keep distinguishing the world, gradually clarifying it, and developing a multi-dimensional understanding of it.

同时，黄谦老师还运用阴阳之道的思维模式来解释“学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆”这句名言。“学”是“阳”，“不学”是“阴”，“思”是“阳”，“不思”是“阴”，那么整个世界只会呈现出四种状态。跳脱思维框架看背后更深层的本质，便是中华文化的精髓。

Meanwhile, Mr.Huang also explained the famous saying "Learning without thinking leads to confusion, thinking without learning leads to danger" by fitting it into the mindset of Ying and Yang. If "Learning" is the "Yang", "no learning" is "Yin" and "thinking" is the "Yang", "no thinking" is "Yin", then the whole world might appear in four states. Breaking away from the mindset and figuring out what lies deeply behind is exactly the essence of Chinese culture.

黄谦老师还谈到，中国文化里另一个核心的点是“左右逢缘”，讲究万事都追求“中庸”，不偏不倚。就像人体有左脑和右脑，左脑管理逻辑思维，右脑决定艺术和语言天赋，只有“整体融合”才能全面发展。这种“左右逢源”的大智慧还能够让人保持情绪稳定，而情绪对于学习有至关重要的影响。只有内心平静，才有可能吸收、沉淀、理性思考，才能远见、卓识、发展和创造。

Besides,Mr.Huang also mentioned that another core view held by Chinese culture is “to be able to achieve success one way or another”, which values doing everything to the “mean” or impartial extent. Just as the human body has a left brain which controls logical thinking and a right brain which determines artistic and linguistic talents, all-round development depends only on a "holistic integration". Such wisdom also helps people maintain emotional stability, which is crucial to learning. Only with inner peace can we absorb and accumulate knowledge, think rationally, and have foresight, insight, development and creativity.
