Description


The I Ching: Or Book of Changes is a classic Chinese text that has been translated and interpreted by many scholars over the centuries. This particular version, translated by James Legge, is considered one of the most influential and widely read translations of the I Ching in the English language.The I Ching is a divination system that is based on the concept of yin and yang, the two opposing forces that are present in all things. The book consists of 64 hexagrams, each of which is made up of six lines that can be either solid or broken. These hexagrams are used to represent different situations and states of being, and are interpreted using a complex system of symbols and metaphors.The I Ching is not just a book of divination, however. It is also a philosophical and spiritual text that explores the nature of reality, the human condition, and the relationship between humanity and the cosmos. It is a guide to living a balanced and harmonious life, and offers insights into the workings of the universe that are still relevant today.James Legge's translation of the I Ching is highly regarded for its accuracy and clarity, and includes extensive commentary and analysis of each hexagram. This makes it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the I Ching, Chinese philosophy, or spirituality in general.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1899 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
