Description

The Illustrated I Ching brings to its readers the first American translation of the major text of the I Ching. R. L. Wing, who executed this timely and lucid translation, is the author of the very popular companion volume, The I Ching Workbook.

Beyond its enlightening translation, The Illustrated I Ching offers a unique and important insight into the ancient classic. Exploring such concepts as left-brain-right-brain perceptions, The Illustrated I Ching uses Chinese artwork to enhance the understanding of the mysterious text. Each of the sixty-four hexagrams, representing sixty-four varieties of human experience, is illuminated by an exceptional Chinese painting. These paintings expressively suggest the mood or impact of the situation that each hexagram represents. In The Illustrated I Ching, R. L. Wing has provided readers with an easily accessible tool for profound understanding of the principles behind the world’s most ancient book.
