“Why do all humans possess predictive capability? Because Heaven has its genius, Earth has its genius, and humans have their genius—human beings serve as the heart connecting Heaven and Earth. Liu Xie addressed this in The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons, specifically in the chapter ‘Tracing the Dao’:
‘Humans are the quintessence of the Five Elements, truly the heart of Heaven and Earth. When the heart emerges, language is established; when language is established, culture flourishes.’
This concept flows directly from the wisdom of the Book of Changes. Therefore, all of us here—especially those of you who work with words, who engage with Chinese characters—must recognize this profound truth. Which leads me to my next point:
Why have Chinese characters, as pictographs, endured to this day?
But let us pause here for now.”
