The Original I Ching: A Landmark Translation of the Book of Changes Based on Recent Discoveries

A groundbreaking new translation of the Book of Changes--the world's earliest-known divination system! "... an important book, not only because it is the first interpretation, ever, by a woman in a wholly male-dominated field, but because of its freshness and directness...A delight." --Richard Burns, poet "Having this ancient text restored to its original form is something very valuable indeed." -- New Age Retailer The Original I Ching presents a far more accurate and authentic version of the ancient Chinese Book of Changes, removing gender biases added by later Confucian commentators who operated in a heavily patriarchal society. This translation is based on recent archeological findings of tens of thousands of oracle bones dating back to when the text was first developed, when women were equal in status to men. It is the first English translation to present the original meaning of the text. Each entry is followed by page numbers referencing other well-known translations by Lynn, Shau
