Zhouyi - A New Translation with Commentary of the Book of Changes (Hardcover, New Ed)

Since 1930, Chinese and Western scholars have increased their knowledge on the language and culture of China's Bronze Age, chiefly through the study of bronze inscriptions and writings on oracle bones. These advances have revealed the original "Book of Changes" to be a royal divination manual of the Zhou state, 100-150 BC. It consists of oracles dealing with war and astronomy, from proverbs, omens and snatches of song. This translation synthesizes the results of modern study and presents "The Book of Changes" in the light of the historical culture that produced it, especially in relation to the "Book of Odes".
