About this title

Synopsis

The Chinese "Book of Changes" which originated around 5000 years ago is a book of divination that provides answers to sensibly-formulated questions through the interpretation of its 64 symbolic hexagrams. All the philosophical texts accompanying each individual hexagram are written in a very natural, metaphorical style resembling Christian parables and fables. For western readers with little understanding of Chinese thought, these texts may be difficult to decipher. This book, with its intelligent illustrations and diagrams, will help readers interpret the wisdom of this ancient work.
