Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Chinese, the destiny of each individual and the cosmos have always been inextricably linked, and for two thousand years the Yijing, or the Book of Change, has exercised the best minds in the Orient. Richard Bertschinger, author of The Secret of Everlasting Life (the first translation of The Can Tong Qi), has worked from the classical commentaries to make a fresh and up-to-date translation for the modern world. Marriage, business ventures, journeys, military ventures, disputes, world affairs, personal problems, health or money issues, all are grist for the mill of the Book of Change. Through pondering the lines, studying their poetry, and devoting ourselves to its meaning, the heart of the ancients is clear. We pick up perhaps in a way we never could have conceived of, how to guide and direct our lives. With an introduction that explains the underlying structure and philosophy of the Book of Change, as well as its history, and a detailed explanation of how to throw the yarrow sticks, or the coins, the novice reader is given everything they need to take their first steps in consulting the ancient oracle, and those already familiar with established translations will find this fresh translation from the original texts clear and illuminating.
Download or read book I Ching written by John Minford and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 927 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning new translation of the ancient Chinese oracle and book of wisdom, by the acclaimed translator of the Tao Te Ching and The Art of War Pose a question, then toss three coins (or cast your yarrow stalks) to access the time-honored wisdom of the I Ching. The I Ching, or Book of Change, has been consulted through the ages, in both China and the West, for answers to fundamental questions about the world and our place in it. The oldest extant book of divination, it dates back three thousand years to ancient shamanistic practices involving the ritual preparation of the shoulder bones of oxen. From this early form of communication with the other world, it has become the Chinese spiritual book par excellence. An influence on such cultural icons as Bob Dylan, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Philip K. Dick, and Philip Pullman, the I Ching is turned to by millions around the world for insights on spiritual growth, business, medicine, genetics, game theory, strategic thinking, and leadership, and of course for the window it opens on China. This new translation, over a decade in the making, is informed by the latest archaeological discoveries and features a gorgeously rendered codex of divination signs—the I Ching’s sixty-four Tarot-like hexagrams. It captures the majesty and mystery of this legendary work and charts an illuminating path to self-knowledge.

Book Synopsis Yijing Wondering and Wandering by : Jane Schorre
Download or read book Yijing Wondering and Wandering written by Jane Schorre and published by Arts of China Seminars. This book was released on 2004 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique contemplation of Yijing (I Ching). In the first part, Wondering, Jane Schorre ponders the meaning of the hexagrams, taking into consideration their arrangement, their relationships as thirty-two reflecting pairs, and their characters -- the Chinese names. Along her way, she retells selections from the classics of Laotse and Zhuangzi for illustration and clarification. In the second part, Wandering, Carrin Dunne carries the meditation further, wandering through the labyrinth of trigrams, nuclear trigrams, and line texts -- exploring psychological and spiritual meaning in the individual lines and their movements. Along her way, her discovery of the 'foursomes' leads to a kaleidoscopic view of Yijing as a whole and to a new approach ("a key, not the key") to meaning in Yijing.

Book Synopsis I Ching, the Oracle by : Kerson Huang
Download or read book I Ching, the Oracle written by Kerson Huang and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1984 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a dramatic and revealing translation of this ancient classic into English. The Chinese original is set side-by-side with the translation. Two things set this translation apart from all previous ones. First, archeological findings are used to uncover the meaning of passages obscured for thousands of years. Second, it preserves the flavor of the orignal in a poetic rendition. An introductory part of this book provides the historical and philosophical background to the I Ching. The story is told of the ancient Chinese civilization, pointing out events and figures mentioned in the I Ching. The undisguised face of the I Ching will appeal to the modern reader, who will read it in his or her own individual way, as poetry, as discoverer of self, or as soothsayer. It is in the grand tradition of the I Ching for different people to see different things. To Confucius, who was born in 550 B.C., it was a source of ethics.; To Leibnitz, the eighteenth-century inventor of calculus, it was the essence of binary mathematics.; To Jung Freud's rival in psychology, it was an explorer of the unconscious.; To some Wall Streeters, it predicts the stock market.; As a companion to this book, a computer software, Huang's I Ching offers computerized consultations of the I Ching. In the court of Zhou, they used to do this by counting stalks of the yarrow reed. Results of the court would indicate what passages to read. In later ages, yarrow-counting was replaced by coin-tossing, as a ritual closer to people's lifestyle. And now, the I Ching is ready for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yijing (I Ching) or "Book of Change" is one of the oldest of the Chinese classic texts and has held a key place in the Daoist tradition for thousands of years.

In the space of just eight days, Master Zhongxian Wu leads the reader towards a deep understanding of the Eight Trigrams of the Yijing and how to apply this knowledge in practical ways in daily life. Master Wu explores the numerology and symbolism of Yijing and clearly explains how the reader can use the Yijing divination system for themselves. This remarkable book provides a user-friendly eight day program that will be a fascinating read for anyone with an interest in learning more about the Yijing or Chinese philosophy and culture as a whole, as well as those who wish to learn how to use the Yijing for practical purposes.
Book Synopsis A Companion to Yi jing Numerology and Cosmology by : Bent Nielsen
Download or read book A Companion to Yi jing Numerology and Cosmology written by Bent Nielsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translations of the Yi jing into western languages have been biased towards the yili ('meaning and pattern') tradition, whereas studies of the xiangshu ('image and number') tradition - which takes as its point of departure the imagery and numerology associated with divination and its hexagrams, trigrams, lines, and related charts and diagrams - has remained relatively unexplored. This major new reference work is organised as a Chinese-English encyclopedia, arranged alphabetically according to the pinyin romanisation, with Chinese characters appended. A character index as well as an English index is included. The entries are of two kinds: technical terms and various other concepts related to the 'image and number' tradition, and bio-bibliographical information on Chinese Yi jing scholars. Each entry in the former category has a brief explanation that includes references to the origins of the term, cross-references, and a reference to an entry giving a more comprehensive treatment of the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First The Sky Opened--Then The Celestial Dragon Was Born. Each aspect of this wonderfully appealing new I Ching is characterized by a readily identifiable symbol. We encounter the Dragon, the Cave, the Mirror, the Path, the Stranger and the Piper—to name just a few of the definitive 64 Hexagrams, each with its own evocative narrative, signposting our destiny. This elegant I Ching evokes the mystery and majesty of ancient China while serving as an enjoyable and illuminating tool for practical self-discovery and decision-making in the modern world through its profound insights that have withstood the test of time. Though grounded in tradition, The Celestial Dragon I Ching departs from the original text in being thoroughly coherent and consistent in its imagery. More than 5,000 years old, the I Ching is a collection of divinatory wisdom that encapsulates the whole of human experience. In China the system was used by Kings, Emperors and Sages who would throw yarrow sticks or read cracks in tortoise shells. These days it is more practical to throw coins and consult the I Ching to divine the outcome.
Book Synopsis The Forest of Changes Yi Jing by : Master Jiao
Download or read book The Forest of Changes Yi Jing written by Master Jiao and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After at least a thousand years in a broken state the Forest of Changes once again functions as an oracle. This book combines two works, A translation of the 3,000 year old Zhou Yi (Yi Jing), the most important divination text of early China and one of the foundation texts of Chinese civilization. An arrangement of verses from the Forest of Changes (Jiao Shi Yi Lin), a 2,000 year old divining text from the Han Dynasty. This radical rearrangement of texts drawn from the Forest make this work a usable oracle, providing several layers of divinatory text to work with. The full version of the Forest of Changes is available from the same translator. When it was issued in 2016, it was the first complete translation of the Forest of Changes in a western language. The Zhou Yi, the original ancient text beneath the layers of commentary built up over the centuries, has been interpreted by many, many students over the centuries. I have translated the Yi as closely as I can to the ancient traditions of 1,000 BCE, an oracle used to determine the auspiciousness of rituals, particularly the rituals of the cult of the Ancestors. The Jiao Shi Yi Lin, written some 1,000 years after the Zhou Yi, expands the text of the Yi by providing a verse for each of the 4096 combinations of the 64 hexagrams. Unfortunately if there was some correlation between the texts of the Yi and the Forest it has been lost over the years, along with a large chunk of the Forest text. This book resolves the problems with the Forest of Changes as an oracle by realigning it with the Yi Jing using the favorability of the texts, as well as keywords and images drawn from the Yi. In addition I have divided up the Forest texts into three layers for each Yi text based on portions of society for whom the Forest was used: Merchant/Traveler, Farmer/Shaman and Noble/Scholar. These can also be viewed as the Three Powers, Earth, Heaven and Humanity. By providing three texts, along with an extra 'All Lines Change' text for each Yi Jing hexagram, the book is able to offer more detailed answers to questions.
