Synopsis
Confucius said — amongst other things — that if he had fifty years to spare he would devote them all to the study of this book, the I-Ching. Written before 1000 BC, and in origin more ancient still, it is probably the oldest book in the world, and certainly the most influential in Chinese thought. Its symbols and commentaries, some of which were added by Confucius, express the nature of Change, teach the Superior Man to live in harmony with the ineluctable, and provide a method of divination. The book can be used as a living oracle. And lest sceptics should scoff, its value and truth have been upheld by no less a psychologist than C.G. Jung. This modern translation is the product of immense experience and close contact with Chinese scholars.
"Among the great books of the world the I-Ching occupies a unique position .. It is with the greatest confidence that I recommend to all lovers of Chinese wisdom this new translation of one of the most profound books ever written in the remote past of this civilization" — Lama Angarika Govinda.
