Features: Chinese I Ching, vast and profound, with a long history. It is the source of Chinese cultural thought and one of the vital streams of East Asian cultural thought, influencing Western cultural thought and making significant contributions to the development of human cultural thought. The I Ching is the first of the "Six Classics" in traditional Chinese literature and has had a broad and profound impact on Chinese academic thought and traditional culture for over two thousand years. It has been spread overseas and continues to this day. This book is an academic work that provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction and study of the relationship between I Ching and Chinese culture. From the broad perspective of traditional Chinese culture, the author, based on historical materials from the classics, history, philosophy, and poetry, explores the influence of I Ching's wisdom on traditional Chinese philosophical views and ways of thinking.
