Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Zhouyi (), or Book of Changes (I Ching), is among the foundational works of Chinese civilization. Its sixty-four hexagrams have inspired centuries of reflection on change, human conduct, the natural world, and the ordering of society.

(Yinyi): The phonetic and lexical explanations of Lu Deming (), preserving valuable evidence of traditional readings, pronunciations, and textual variants.These historical commentaries are reproduced rather than replaced with modern paraphrases.
