Abstract: It is concerned in the basic problem of traditional studies of Yi Jing. The author believes that de- constructing the traditional studies of Yi Jing will help to construct the new theory of modern studies of Yi Jing. At present, the importance of this topic is not taken seriously and scholars engaged in research on the subject are also relatively few. In this paper, on the basis of commentary of the contemporary research work, a basic problem of traditional studies of Yi Jing is discussed in two aspects respectively. They are: 1) the de- velopment of traditional studies of Yi Jing; 2) the classification and nature of traditional studies of Yi Jing. And the author argues that the basic problem of traditional studies of Yi Jing is the issue of relationship be- tween “diagrams or hexagram” and “the recorded of explanation”. It also can be further divided into four sub-issues in four aspects. They are: 1) “divining”; 2) the “Three Yi” (the Lian Shan or Lian Shan Yi, the Gui Cang or Gui Cang Yi, and the Zhouyi in the early version); 3) the Yi Jing in prevailing version; 4) the gener- alized “Wei Book of Yi Jing”. Keywords: The Traditional Studies of Yi Jing; The Basic Issues in the Traditional Studies of Yi Jing; The Development of Traditional Studies of Yi Jing; The Classification and Nature of Tradit
