The Complete I Ching — 10th Anniversary Edition

A revised edition of the definitive translation of the world’s most important book of divination.

Description

A revised edition of the definitive translation of the world’s most important book of divination.

The Complete I Ching is the first English translation from within the tradition by a Chinese Taoist Master. This edition 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. This method brings forth the intuitive meanings embodied in the images of the I Ching, imbuing his translation with an accuracy and authenticity not possible in other English translations.

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. It includes in-depth and easy-to-reference translations of each hexagram name, description, and pictogram, as well as discussions of the interrelations between the hexagrams and the spiritual meaning of their sequence.

About the Author

Born in 1921, Master Alfred Huang is a professor of Taoist philosophy, former Dean of Students at Shanghai University, and a third-generation master of Wu-style Tai Chi Chuan, Chi Kung, and Oriental meditation with more than 60 years experience. He studied the I Ching--a forbidden book at the time--in secret with one of China’s greatest I Ching masters, only to be branded an antirevolutionary by the Communist government and forced into manual labor in 1957 and imprisonment in 1966. During his 22 years of confinement, he found the strength to survive through meditation on the I Ching. Released in 1979, he emigrated to the United States. The founder of New Harmony, a nonprofit organization devoted to self-healing, and the author of The Numerology of the I Ching and Complete Tai-Chi, Master Huang lives on the island of Maui.
