A revised edition of the definitive translation of the world’s most important book of divination • More than 64,000 copies sold of the first edition • The first English translation from within the tradition by a Chinese Taoist Master • Includes translations of the Ten Wings--the commentaries by Confucius essential to the I Ching’s insights Translated by the eminent Taoist Master Alfred Huang, The Complete I Ching has been praised by scholars and new students of the I Ching since its first edition. A native Chinese speaker, Master Huang first translated the original ideograms of the I Ching into contemporary Chinese and then into English, bringing forth the intuitive meanings embodied in the images of the I Ching and imbuing his translation with an accuracy and authenticity not possible in other English translations. However, what makes his translation truly definitive is his return to prominence of the Ten Wings, the commentaries by Confucius that are essential to the I Ching’s insights. This 10th anniversary edition offers a thorough introduction to the history of the I Ching, how to use it, and several new divination methods; in-depth and easy-to-reference translations of each hexagram name, description, and pictogram; and discussions of the interrelations between the hexagrams and the spiritual meaning of their sequence.

Included in this unique kit is everything needed to easily consult the oldest oracle in the world. Instead of struggling with traditional yarrow stalks or throwing coins to create hexagrams, the author has devised a beautiful deck of picture cards based on the five elements of nature. With this visual interpretation, the I Ching is brought to life.

Answers to questions about life and love, fame and fortune, health and wealth are revealed in the I Ching (The Book of Changes), the central text in the ancient Chinese tradition of divination. Dating from 600 BC or earlier, its 64 pairs of trigrams (groups of three whole or broken lines), are believed to reflect the myriad and complex forces operative in any given situation; correctly interpreted they can clarify present or future events, offer subtle psychological insights, give direction and inspire action. This guide features a deck of 64 oversized cards with illustrations which are keyed to a 232-page manual interpreting their significance for the user. Instructions for arranging and reading the cards are given, and a follow-up coin divination method, used to elicit more precise responses, is explained. Both cards and manual are packed in a deluxe box.
