Riguardo questo articolo

The origin of the I Ching is lost among the myths of prehistoric China. It has existed in some form for more than 4,000 years, and in its philosophy reflects both the major Chinese religions, Taoism and Confucianism. But it is not only a source of philosophical wisdom - it is a practical oracle, which, when consulted, can give advice on how to act so that. the future can be faced and experienced in the best possible manner; further, when consulted by someone in sympathy with it, it can throw light on the working of the unconscious and the inner self. The book is divided into two parts. The first part gives a brief history of the changes and additions to the original Oracle of Change. The second part gives the basic text of the I Ching as it appeared in the 1715 edition, newly translated from the original Ancient Chinese. This text consists of sixty-four separate interpretations, each showing both a practical and a philosophical point of view. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. 237 pages. No Dust Jacket as published.
