Features: Therefore, the I Ching has Taiji, which gives birth to the Two Principles (Liangyi). The Two Principles give birth to the Four Symbols (Sisiang), the Four Symbols give birth to the Eight Trigrams (Bagua). The Eight Trigrams determine auspiciousness and inauspiciousness (jixiong), and auspiciousness and inauspiciousness give birth to great undertakings. "Regarding the I Ching, the sages studied it profoundly to grasp the subtle changes (jijiu)." If the Book of Changes strips away the mystical divination, if it departs from the profound philosophy, what else do you hope to see? This book will open a brand-new door to the study of the I Ching for you.
