Many people think the Yijing (I Ching) is mysterious or difficult to understand.
But if you have watched Dear You, you have already seen many of its timeless principles in action.
1. Oneness (万物一体)
Yijing teaches that everything is interconnected.
In Dear You, Musheng, Nanzhi, Shurou and even Xie Laishun are not separate stories. Their lives become one through a single promise, a letter, and an act of love.
When one person suffers, everyone is affected.
When one person chooses love, everyone benefits.
That is the wisdom of oneness.
2. Yin and Yang (阴阳)
Life is never simply right or wrong.
Truth and compassion.
Gain and sacrifice.
Joy and sorrow.
Nanzhi's "lie" appears wrong on the surface, yet it brings hope to an entire family. What seems negative (Yin) gives birth to something positive (Yang).
Yijing reminds us that Yin contains Yang, and Yang contains Yin.
Nothing is absolute.
3. Change (变易)
Everything changes.
Musheng passes away. Nanzhi grows old.
Shurou's children become adults.
Yet one thing never changes: Love.
Yijing teaches that while circumstances constantly change, timeless virtues remain.
4. Balance (中道)
No one in the movie goes to extremes.
The characters exercise restraint. They do not dramatise.
They do not seek revenge. They quietly fulfil their responsibilities.
This reflects the Yijing principle of harmony through balance.
The Greatest Lesson
Dear You is more than a movie.
It is a living lesson in Yijing.
It shows us that life's greatest wisdom is not about predicting the future.
It is about living each day with Care, Courage and Connection.
When we understand Oneness, we naturally care for others.
When we understand Yin and Yang, we stop judging people too quickly.
When we embrace Change, we learn to cherish every moment.
Perhaps that is why Dear You touches millions around the world.
Without mentioning the Yijing once,
it quietly lives out the wisdom of the Yijing in every scene.
