In a radically new translation and interpretation of the I Ching,
David Hinton strips this ancient Chinese masterwork of the usual
apparatus and discovers a deeply poetic and philosophical text.
Teasing out an elegant vision of the cosmos as ever-changing yet
harmonious, Hinton reveals the seed from which Chinese philosophy,
poetry, and painting grew. Although it was and is widely used for
divination, the I Ching is also a book of poetic philosophy, deeply
valued by artists and intellectuals, and Hinton's translation
restores it to its original lyrical form. Previous translations
have rendered the I Ching as a divination text full of arcane
language and extensive commentary. Though informative, these
versions rarely hint at the work's philosophical heart, let alone
its literary beauty. Here, Hinton translates only the original
stratum of the text, revealing a fully formed work of literature in
its own right. The result is full of wild imagery, fables,
aphorisms, and stories. Acclaimed for the eloquence of his many
translations of ancient Chinese poetry and philosophy, Hinton has
reinvented the I Ching as an exciting contemporary text at once
primal and postmodern.
