古《易》有三,《连山易》以山卦为首,《归藏易》以坤卦为首,都已失传,唯独以乾卦为首的《周易》流传至今,可见乾阳的生命力量。《圣经·创世纪》第一章曰:“起初神创造天地。”(3)认为是神创造了天地。中国古人则不以为然,“夫易,开物成务,冒天下之道”(《系辞上》),认为是“易”创造了万物。这是对自然奥妙的神悟和推崇,所以“天人合一”成为一种精神,“巧夺天工”成为一种追求。《周易》第一卦《乾》,第二卦《坤》,第三卦《屯》,有天有地有生命,天一地二人三,天地人三参,为三元。子曰:“乾坤,其《易》之门耶?”乾卦为周易之门、生命之根,充沛着刚健之阳气,是时空创造之动力源泉,广通天道、地道、人道。“生生之为易,成象之为乾”(《系辞上》),从乾卦卦象、彖辞、爻辞、文言等可以见出,中国人善于运用新颖独特的思维方式揭示客观事物的本质特性、内在联系和辩证发展,从而获取对事物的重新理解与诠释。

乾卦从象数理多角度体现出中国百经之首《周易》蕴含着丰富的创意思维。“夫乾,其静也专;其动也直,是以大生也。”(《系辞上》)春夏秋冬四时、东南西北四维,乾阳运行不已、循环往复,主宰整个宇宙,创造无限生机。“元亨利贞”(《周易·乾卦》)是乾卦之四德,亦创始之德;六阳爻变化无穷,品物流形,乃创生之行;“用九,见群龙无首吉”(《周易·乾卦》),蕴创见之美;“天行健,君子以自强不息”(《周易·乾卦》),含创意之思。乾卦既简单直白又玄奥精深,既不易又变易,其思维原创性和发散性结合、逻辑性和非逻辑性互综、顺应性和逆向性相抱、继承性和挑战性反复,具有独特的创造力与创新性,推陈出新,余味曲包,千百年来使人们不断突破具象思维、逻辑思维与惯性思维的限制与束缚,对人类科学、经济、政治、军事、医学、文学和艺术各领域的思维方法及运作方式、路径与结果产生积极有效的“元创”作用。
