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. Yet the Zhouyi was never simply a collection of enigmatic sayings: its intellectual history is inseparable from the generations of scholars who interpreted, debated, and transmitted its words.The Zhouyi Zhushu () brings together the classical text and its great historical commentaries in a carefully edited Chinese-language edition.Four complementary layers of the tradition are presented: (Jing): The complete Zhouyi, comprising the sixty-four hexagrams and the traditional appendices, including the Xici (), Shuogua (), Xugua (), and Zagua (). (Zhu): The annotations of Wang Bi () of the Wei dynasty and Han Kangbo () of the Jin dynasty, whose interpretations helped shape the philosophical reception of the Changes. (Shu): The extensive Zhengyi (), or authoritative subcommentary, of Tang scholar Kong Yingda (), explaining both the classical text and its earlier annotations. (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. Kong Yingda's preface and eight introductory discussions are also included.A scholarly text designed for actual reading.Each hexagram begins on a new page, accompanied by its hexagram figure. The classical text, shorter annotations, extended commentaries, pronunciation glosses, and textual notes are distinguished through a carefully organized typographic system. Readers can move between the original passage and its successive interpretations without losing their place.The text has been newly punctuated or its punctuation reviewed, collated against historical witnesses, and corrected where the evidence warrants. - Harmonized Chinese OrthographyThis edition follows Coldscholar's distinctive (Harmonized Chinese Orthography), a consistent approach intended to combine the accessibility of modern simplified Chinese with the distinctions necessary for reading classical literature accurately.A generous letter-size format.Printed at US letter size (8.5 11 inches; approximately 216 279 mm), this edition is designed as a substantial scholarly reading and reference volume rather than a compact pocket book.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Second (much revised and expanded) edition of a glossary for Sir Edmund Spenser's Elizabethan classic The Faerie Queene, an allegorical epic poem. Because the poem was written at the end of the 16th century with language that was considered archaic even in its own time, this glossary is useful for modern readers of Spenserian English poetry. This edition is printed with generous margins and large font. Those interested in older English more generally such as writers, poets, roleplayers, and cosmopolitan sophisticates are likely to find this a welcome addition to their book collection as a standalone volume.The second edition is synthesized from a combination of centuries old Faerie Queene glossaries and vetted against the original text (with additions). Also contains an appendix glossary of terms used for definitions but absent from the Faerie Queene itself. The ultimate companion glossary for the Faerie Queene. Meant for everyone from students to scholars to bystanders. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Zhouyi (), or Book of Changes, is one of the foundational works of Chinese civilization-a classic of divination, philosophy, cosmology, and moral reflection whose influence has endured for more than two millennia.Rooted in the intellectual and cultural traditions of ancient China, the Zhouyi explores the patterns of change governing nature and human affairs. Through images of heaven and earth, thunder and wind, mountains and rivers, it examines fortune and misfortune, action and restraint, leadership and responsibility, conflict and reconciliation. Its language is concise, often enigmatic, and rich with imagery that has inspired generations of scholars, diviners, philosophers, and readers.This edition, (Zhouyi: Plain-Text Edition), presents the complete classical Chinese text of the Zhouyi without the extensive scholarly commentaries traditionally printed alongside it. Readers encounter the sixty-four hexagrams (), their judgments (), and individual line statements (), together with the interpretive writings collectively known as the Ten Wings ().The volume includes the Tuan (), Xiang (), and Wenyan () commentaries within their respective hexagrams, followed by the Xici (, Great Commentary), Shuogua (, Explanation of the Trigrams), Xugua (, Sequence of the Hexagrams), and Zagua (, Miscellaneous Hexagrams).A distinctive feature of this edition is its use of Harmonized Chinese orthography (), Coldscholar's editorial approach to the written Chinese language. Rather than adhering mechanically to either traditional or simplified character conventions, Harmonized Chinese generally favors accessible modern forms while preserving meaningful historical and textual distinctions. The result is a consistent, carefully considered presentation intended to unite readability with fidelity to the classical literary tradition.Designed for sustained reading and study, this edition features carefully arranged Chinese typography, clear divisions between hexagrams and their constituent passages, and prominently displayed hexagram figures. Modern punctuation aids navigation while preserving the literary character of the original. An accompanying textual apparatus documents editorial decisions and selected textual variants.The Zhouyi occupies a remarkable position in Chinese intellectual history. Originally associated with divination and the interpretation of signs, it became a central text in the Confucian canon and a lasting source of reflection on the relationships between heaven (), earth (), and humanity (). Its influence extends through Chinese literature, political thought, ethics, metaphysics, and traditional understandings of the natural world.Published by Coldscholar, this plain-text edition is intended for readers who wish to engage directly with the classical work: students of literary Chinese, scholars of Chinese history and philosophy, readers interested in the I Ching, and anyone drawn to one of the world's most enduring books.Language: Classical Chinese, presented in Harmonized Chinese orthography ().
