The I Ching, a classic work from the Zhou Dynasty, is celebrated as a treasure trove of human wisdom. It not only reveals the laws of change in nature but also has military applications, such as the Bagua formation used by Zhuge Liang in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Furthermore, the I Ching is regarded as an all-encompassing work of potential science, with its physical effects still astonishing scientists today. In 1986, a bronze spraying basin, created based on the principles of the I Ching, was exhibited in the United States, causing a sensation. This artifact not only sprays water but also produces ancient music, with its underlying principles remaining unclear. Professor Chen Chuankang from Peking University has proposed a new theory suggesting that the I Ching may record knowledge from extraterrestrial visitors, implying that King Wen of Zhou might have encountered alien civilizations.
