The I Ching or Book of Changes 2.4.1

Ancient oracle meets modern classic! Discover an interactive English version of "The I Ching or Book of Changes" by Richard Wilhelm, edited by Hellmut Wilhelm, and translated by Cary F. Baynes, utilizing a coin oracle or yarrow stalks, and a unified journal.

The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is a fundamental source of both Confucianist and Taoist philosophy, representing one of the earliest attempts of the human mind to comprehend its place within the universe. With a legacy spanning 3,000 years, it continues to wield a pervasive influence in Chinese culture, while sparking increasing interest in the Western world.

Renowned among I Ching enthusiasts, Princeton's Bollingen edition is widely considered the paragon of authenticity and excellence.

The complete work is divided into three books, with Book I being included in the I Ching or Book of Changes app. Book I encompasses comprehensive judgments related to the diagrams as a whole, along with line texts and the Great Images.

2. Book III: The Commentaries
