The Classic of Changes (Yi jing) is one of the most ancient texts
known to human civilization, always given pride of place in the
Chinese classical tradition. And yet the powerful fascination
exerted by the Classic of Changes has preserved the archaic text,
widely attracting readers with a continuing interest in trying to
understand it as a source of reflection and guide to ordinary
circumstances of human life. Its monumental influence over Chinese
thought makes the text an indispensable element in any informed
approach to Chinese culture.Accordingly, the book focuses on the
archaic core of the Classic of Changes and proposes a structural
anthropological analysis for two main reasons. First, unlike many
treatments of the Yi jing, there is a concern to place the text
carefully in the context of the ancient culture
