Features: The I Ching encompasses all, governs all, and is the most outstanding representative of traditional Chinese culture. Dr. Xu Qinting, a renowned scholar from Taiwan, has meticulously researched literature and read extensively, compiling An Elucidation of the I Ching and An Elucidation of the Sixty-Four Hexagrams of the I Ching. In the book, every paragraph of the original I Ching is elaborately and vividly explained. Not only are there hints on the structure of chapters and the connection of paragraphs, but also numerous historical examples closely related to society and daily life are used to develop 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 is unique among the many passages of the I Ching. To promote the shared Chinese culture of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, this book has been published for reference and research.
