Features: The I Ching encompasses all, governs the myriad affairs, and stands as an outstanding representative of traditional Chinese culture. Dr. Xu Qinting, a renowned scholar from Taiwan, has meticulously researched literature and extensively read historical records, compiling An Elucidation of the I Ching and An Elucidation of the Sixty-Four Hexagrams of the I Ching. In these books, every passage of the I Ching is elaborated upon in detail and vividly explained. Not only are there hints on the structure of chapters and the connection of paragraphs, but also numerous historical examples closely tied to society and daily life are used to elucidate the meaning of the original text. What is particularly innovative is the way the original text is presented, divided into "Pronunciation Notes," "Meaning Translation," "Image and Number," and "Historical Evidence," which sets it apart from the many other commentaries on the I Ching. To promote the shared Chinese culture of both the mainland and Taiwan, this book has been published for reference and study.
