An Answer for Every Question
Millions of people who cast the I Ching to find answers to their
deepest questions refer to the classic Wilhelm-Baynes translation of
the ancient Chinese divinatory text,
The I Ching or Book of Changes, published by Princeton
University Press. The
I Ching Companion: An Answer for Every Question is a study
guide to be used in conjunction with the Wilhelm-Baynes translation.
The I Ching oracle has survived millennia exactly because of its
elusive nature. It is replete with phrases and imagery that are
unfamiliar to the Western mind. The text in itself tells many stories
from ancient China, when the Chou overthrew the Shang dynasty, and
contains every aspect of the human experience, both secular and
spiritual. Richards has compiled a concordance of the primary symbols
in the Wilhelm-Baynes text such as 'to cross the great water',
'furthering', the four directions, colors, 'the great man', 'the
inferior man', and the 'superior man' so that students of the I Ching
can conduct their own study and gain their own understanding of how
the changes described by the I Ching are connected in an eternal cycle
of beginning, conflict, and resolution.
