  <default_description> More than just a translation, Richard Wilhelm's &lt;I&gt;I Ching&lt;/I&gt; is a profound introduction to the Chinese world-view. The &lt;I&gt;I Ching&lt;/I&gt; (&lt;I&gt;Yi Jing&lt;/I&gt;) is recognized by both Confucians &amp; Taoists as a foundational work &amp; Wilhelm shows why. He separates his work into three books. The first book is about the hexagrams--the meanings of the lines &amp; Wilhelm's extensive comments. The second presents two early commentaries that interpret the wisdom of the divinatory text, also with Wilhelm's helpful notes. The third book goes back to the hexagrams for more detailed commentary from both ancient Chinese thinkers &amp; Wilhelm. Wilhelm is able to offer such enormous assistance because he spent the better part of a decade in China studying under classically trained scholars. His love for the work is thus as broad as his understanding.
 The &lt;I&gt;I Ching&lt;/I&gt; was originally used for divination, kind of like palm reading or interpreting the stars. It differs from simple prognostication, however, in that it demands diviners to cultivate an understanding of the world &amp; themselves. Without this understanding, the text is useless, hence the value of the commentaries, particularly Wilhelm's. This version is not without its biases, of course--it is a European's understanding of the &lt;I&gt;I Ching&lt;/I&gt;, thru a late-Qing dynasty Confucian perspective, translated into English by a Jungian psychoanalyst. Nonetheless, it succeeds like no other.--Brian Bruya</default_description>
