“The most authoritative translation of Daoist classic, the Book of Changes. The I Ching is the source code of Daoism and among the oldest of Chinese classics. Laying out the operating system of our universe, this oracular text was created by observing, recording and distilling the patterns of change in nature over centuries, to a degree of depth and comprehension that every possible human experience is considered in its pages.
Herein are the first principles of Chinese thought and civilization providing the foundation and infrastructure for Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qigong meditation, Taichi, Fengshui, the Art of War and countless other disciplines.
With a notable foreword by C. G. Jung, this classic edition of the I Ching efficiently and accurately translates a Classical Chinese text of primordial wisdom and spirituality into modern English, providing the building blocks for an understanding of life and the universe. The best way to access this book is to follow in the footsteps of Jung and try using it as a book of divination. Reading it from cover to cover is a daunting task.”
-Simon Cheng, Pique Founder & CEO
The I Ching, or Book of Changes, has exerted a living influence in China for thousands of years. Today, it continues to enrich the lives of readers around the world. First set down in the dawn of history as a book of oracles, it grew into a book of wisdom with the inclusion of commentaries on its oracular pronouncements, eventually becoming one of the Five Classics of Confucianism and providing a common source for both Confucianist and Taoist philosophy.
