Fan Zhongyan was an important pioneer figure in the Yi Studies＇ philosophical connotations school （the school that studies The Book of Changes to explain changing laws of things and accidents in our lives） in the Northern Song Dynasty. Yiyi was his monograph of the Yi Studies. In the book, he explained The Book of Changes through the following three approaches： first, explaining hexagram＇s relationships between the above and below trigram; second, comparing one hexagram with the other; third, using the theory of the line position. Yiyi＇s purposes for explaining The Book of Changes lie in relating everything in it to affairs happened in daily lives. Fan Zhongyan＇s approaches to and purposes for explaining The Book of Changes in his Yiyi have imposed great influences on the successors＇ studies on The Book of Changes and have its unique importance in the history of the development of the Yi Studies.
