Features: Chinese I Ching (Yi Jing) is 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 classics 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 comprehensively and systematically introduces and studies the relationship between the I Ching and Chinese culture. From the broad perspective of traditional Chinese culture, the author, based on historical materials from the Classics, Histories, Philosophies, and Literary Works, explores the influence of I Ching wisdom on traditional Chinese philosophical views and ways of thinking. The book conducts a multi-faceted, multi-angle, and multi-level discussion on the I Ching, covering topics such as the I Ching and philosophy, thinking, classical studies, ethics, sociology, law, management, aesthetics, religion, science and technology, traditional Chinese medicine, health preservation, divination, and overseas dissemination. This reveals and highlights the humanistic significance and value of the I Ching in traditional Chinese academic thought and way of life.
