Beschreibung
For the first time in English, this volume provides both general interest readers and specialists the full scope of current scholarship on the Book of Changes, also known as the I Ching or Yijing. In order to achieve this, the book addresses three fundamental issues: the relationship between the sixty-four hexagrams and the Ten Wings (seven pieces of early commentarial writings); the disparate approaches to interpreting the text in Imperial China; and the transformation of the text into a global classic since WWI. With thirty-five chapters, this volume not only deepens one’s scholastic understanding of the Book of Changes but also guides the reader in actual practice.
