I Ching: The Ancient Chinese Book Of Changes Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The 2,500 year old Yi-jing or I Ching, translated as The Book of Changes, is a Chinese work of divination and prophecy. Dating from the 4th century BC, it is traditionally consulted by performing complex routines of dropping bundles of dried grass stalks. The particular patterns formed when six stalks are dropped are represented by 64 symbols called hexagrams, which show every possible combination of broken and unbroken stalks. The Book of Changes tells the reader how to interpret the hexagrams to decide which is the best approach or action in a given situation.This book features these 64 hexagrams, and their accompanying name in Chinese script, accompanied by an elegant translation of the interpretations. The book also features additional commentaries and explanations of ancient Chinese divination. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding and with a timeless design, this book will allow anyone fascinated by the traditional philosophies of the East to follow in the footsteps of Confucius and use the I Ching to predict their destiny.

I was shocked at how inexpensive this book was, and it made me believe sometrhiung was wrong with it, but I ordered it anyway in search of a nice I Ching book for my coffee table. I receive this one yesterday and so far I am quite pleased. The cover and binding are beatiful and high quality. The pages and the art work within are exactly what I was looking for. Excellent texture with sharp lines and colors, but not overwhelming in the artwork. It looks prefect. I'm shocked it's only $8.00.
nicely bound good looking book we enjoy very much
Very nice book
