From the jacket flap
An introductory part of this book provides the historical and philosophical background to the I Ching. The story is told of the ancient Chinese civilization, pointing out events and figures mentioned in the I Ching. The undisguised face of the I Ching will appeal to the modern reader, who will read it in his or her own individual way, as poetry, as discoverer of self, or as soothsayer. It is in the grand tradition of the I Ching for different people to see different things.
To Confucius, who was born in 550 B.C., it was a source of ethics.
To Leibnitz, the eighteenth-century inventor of calculus, it was the essence of binary mathematics.
To Jung Freud's rival in psychology, it was an explorer of the unconscious.
To some Wall Streeters, it predicts the stock market.
As a companion to this book, a computer software, Huang's I Ching offers computerized consultations of the I Ching. In the court of Zhou, they used to do this by counting stalks of the yarrow reed. Results of the court would indicate what passages to read. In later ages, yarrow-counting was replaced by coin-tossing, as a ritual closer to people's lifestyle. And now, the I Ching is ready for the future.
