Features: The ancient classic has been endowed with new meanings through the relentless interpretations of Confucian scholars,. The Zhuan (Commentary) is both a part of the Yi Jing (Book of Changes) and an interpretation of the even older classic, the Zhou Yi. By analyzing how the Zhuan explains the Zhou Yi, it provides important clues for studying the transformation of classic forms from old to new, as well as the formation process of Confucian studies during this period. This book examines the authorship and dating of each part of the Zhuan, analyzes the expository styles of the Tuan Zhuan (Commentary on Hexagrams), Xiang Zhuan (Commentary on Images), Xi Ci Zhuan (Commentary on the Appended Texts), Wen Yan Zhuan (Commentary on the Gentle and Refined Text), Shuo Gua Zhuan (Commentary on the Trigrams), Xu Gua Zhuan (Commentary on the Order of Hexagrams), and Za Gua Zhuan (Commentary on Miscellaneous Hexagrams), and elucidates the profound and extensive thoughts of the Zhou Yi.
