Hellmut Wilhelm
“(T)he essential thing is to keep in mind all the strata that go to make up the book. Archaic wisdom from the dawn of time, detached and systematic reflections of the Confucian school in the Chou era, pithy sayings from the heart of the people, subtle thoughts of the leading minds: all these disparate elements have harmonized to create the structure of the book as we know it.”
Hellmut and Richard Wilhelm Understanding the I Ching

“That would be pointless,
So I chose to confess
for a lenient sentence.”
Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù
