Mr. Shi believes that whether it's the Tao Te Ching, the Bible, the Buddhist scriptures, the Quran, or the Book of Changes, these classics are the observations and summaries of the world from our ancestors' pure and simple perspectives. These scriptures contain rich philosophical ideas and moral guidelines, providing humanity with wisdom to guide their lives. However, the true meanings of these classics are often overly interpreted and misunderstood. Believers should approach their teachings with a simple mindset, rather than interpreting them as overly profound or rigid. In fact, the purer one's mindset (spirit), the better they can understand the true meaning of the scriptures.

The Book of Changes (Yi Jing) is an extremely simple and truthful classic. There is no hexagram or line that is illusory or ambiguous. Every hexagram in the Eight Trigrams is auspicious, and the appearance of "inauspicious signs" is merely due to encounters, which are not misfortunes but opportunities. The philosophical ideas of the Book of Changes are manifested through the representation of hexagrams, but the hexagrams themselves are not the main focus. The Book of Changes truly emphasizes the concepts of change and balance, teaching people how to handle the changes in things and discover the relationships between different matters.

The "Shi Yi" combines the Fu Xi's Eight Trigrams with the Zhou Yi's Eight Trigrams, and its unique investment philosophy applies hexagram symbols and the laws of change extensively. Investors can apply the investment and risk management concepts of the "Shi Yi" in practical trading with simple learning. By combining investment factors with different hexagrams, they can form a practical investment tool. In practical trading, investors can use the "Shi Yi" to assess potential risks in their portfolios and make adjustments accordingly. Additionally, investors can also apply the principles of the "Shi Yi" to predict market trends and make decisions on long and short positions, buying, and selling, aiming for higher returns. Applying the "Shi Yi" to the capital market not only helps repair existing losses but also provides investors with a new way of thinking and analyzing, enabling them to gain a deeper understanding of market patterns and investment strategies.

Mr. Shi's true hope is that everyone can perceive the greatness of the Book of Changes through the methodology of the "Shi Yi." It is to replicate a concept in various aspects of human life: "to understand simple classics with a pure attitude, rather than complicating them, because they are fundamentally not complicated." Our ancestors, whether the Chinese nation, Jewish people, Indian people, or even the Greek people, created various "classics" with one purpose—to provide tools for their offspring to survive crises and ultimately thrive. For investors, using the tools developed by our ancestors to maximize risk reduction, preserve profits, and not only survive but thrive is crucial.

The gua theory of "Shi Yi" holds that the securities market always follows the interpretation direction of the Eight Trigrams, and the current position of the market corresponds to the corresponding gua position. For example, the Kun gua represents the earth, similar to the market bottom, while the Qian gua represents the sky, similar to the market top, and so on. Therefore, "Shi Yi" believes that the market itself is divided into yin and yang (bull and bear) but not into principal and client. This means that the market operates in a certain interpretive direction: bottom-rise-top-fall-bottom, cycling back and forth, while the participants in the market play different roles in this direction.

"Shi Yi" believes that participants in the market play the role of the principal or client in the composite gua through active cooperation or passivity. They can switch roles at any time based on their operational habits, market understanding, and adopted strategies. For example, when the market is in a bull market and investors follow the main force to go long, the investors are the client in the composite gua (line) because they mostly play the role of followers, while the main funds that lead the market upward are the principal in the composite gua. Another example: when the market is still in a bull market but an investor chooses to go short, they become the principal in the composite gua, and the market main force becomes their opponent, thus becoming the client in the composite gua. Similarly, in a bear market, when investors go short, they are the client in the composite gua, and the main investors driving the stock market decline become the principal, and vice versa, when investors choose to go long against the trend in a bear market, they become the principal, and other participants become their opponents, becoming the client. Alright, is your head buzzing? Feeling a bit confused? It's okay, with simple learning, you will quickly understand the investment philosophy of "Shi Yi."

In summary, it is crucial to grasp the interpretive direction of the gua. This can help investors better understand market trends and participate in market operations. For example, when the market is in the position of the Kun gua, investors should aggressively buy, while in the Kan gua, the state of yin-yang balance, investors can observe the situation and avoid excessive operations. When an investor's investment conflicts with the market direction or when there is an imbalance of yin and yang, the investor can use the market trend to perform a hegua (composite gua) and quickly find counter-strategies.
