This is the first comprehensive book that presents the manifold
aspects of divination and prognostication in traditional and modern
China, from the early period of oracle bones to present-day
fortune-tellers. It introduces what is out there in the field of
Chinese divination and prognostication, and how we can further
explore it especially through different disciplines. Eminent
specialists outline the classifications of divination, recently
excavated texts, the relationship between practitioners and
clients, the place of the "occult" arts in cosmology, literature
and religion, and the bureaucratic system. Contributors are:
Constance Cook, Richard J. Smith, Marc Kalinowski, Stephen R.
Bokenkamp, Lu Lingfeng, Liao Hsien-huei, Philip Clart, Fabrizio
Pregadio, Esther-Maria Guggenmos, Andrew Schonebaum, and Stephanie
Homola.
