The dragon and horse spirit is the core characteristic of the Chinese national spirit,and its basic connotation is formed in Zhouyi.The images of dragon and horse in the statements of hexagrams in Zhouyi are mainly shown in the"Qian"and"Kun"hexagrams.The transformation and integration of Yin and Yang in these two hexagrams promote the combination of dragon and horse images.With the help of symbols,images and attributes of each hexagram,the image of dragon and horse evolves from the principles of the heavenly and earthly ways to the ways of rulers and subjects.The construction of the dragon and horse spirit in Yizhuan is based on the universal way of heaven and is generalized to the broad belief of life.The dragon and horse spirit presents a fusion of robust and yielding value principles with the spirit of active progress,tolerance,and virtue,which is specifically developed in the aspects of assisting the harmonious development of heaven and earth,safeguarding the state and benefiting the people,and the self-reliance of the individual.It provides both a methodology and indicates the purpose of practice,namely timely avoidance while still standing tall,and active progress towards great virtue and enduring achievements.The evolution of the dragon and horse spirit is closely related to the analogical associative thinking mode in Zhouyi.
