Translations of the Yi jing into western languages have been biased
towards the yili ('meaning and pattern') tradition, whereas studies
of the xiangshu ('image and number') tradition - which takes as its
point of departure the imagery and numerology associated with
divination and its hexagrams, trigrams, lines, and related charts
and diagrams - has remained relatively unexplored. This major new
reference work is organised as a Chinese-English encyclopedia,
arranged alphabetically according to the pinyin romanisation, with
Chinese characters appended. A character index as well as an
English index is included. The entries are of two kinds: technical
terms and various other concepts related to the 'image and number'
tradition, and bio-bibliographical information on Chinese Yi jing
scholars. Each entry in the former category has a brief explanation
that includes references to the origins of the term,
cross-references, and a reference to an entry giving a more
comprehensive treatment of the subject.
