Translated by the eminent Taoist Master Alfred Huang, The Complete
I Chinghas been praised by scholars and new students of the I Ching
since its first edition. A native Chinese speaker, Master Huang
first translated the original ideograms of the I Ching into
contemporary Chinese and then into English, bringing forth the
intuitive meanings embodied in the images of the I Ching and
imbuing his translation with an accuracy and authenticity not
possible in other English translations. However, what makes his
translation truly definitive is his return to prominence of the Ten
Wings, the commentaries by Confucius that are essential to the I
Ching’s insights. This 10th anniversary edition offers a thorough
introduction to the history of the I Ching, how to use it, and
several new divination methods; in-depth and easy-to-reference
translations of each hexagram name, description, and pictogram; and
discussions of the interrelations between the hexagrams and the
spiritual meaning of their sequence.

- The first English translation from within the tradition by a

The first book to cover the complete Taoist teachings on form,
structure, and symbol in the I Ching.
- Provides many new patterns and diagrams for visualizing the
layout of the 64 hexagrams.
- Includes advanced teachings on the hosts of the hexagrams, the
mutual hexagrams, and the core hexagrams.
- Written by Taoist Master Alfred Huang, author of "The Complete I
Ching."
"The Numerology of the I Ching" is the first book to bring the
complete Taoist teachings on form, structure, and symbol in the I
Ching to a Western audience, and it is a natural complement to
Alfred Huang's heralded "Complete I Ching." It examines not only
the classic circular arrangement of the eight trigrams but also the
hidden numerology in this arrangement and its relationship to tai
chi and the Chinese elements. Huang explains the binary code
underlying the I Ching, the symbolism behind the square diagram of
all 64 hexagrams, and Fu Xi's unique circular layout of the 64
hexagrams, completely unknown in the West. Entire chapters are
devoted to such vital material as the hosts of the hexagrams, the
mutual hexagrams, and the core hexagrams--all barely hinted at in
previous versions of the I Ching. With appendices listing
additional symbolism for each hexagram, formulas for easily
memorizing the Chinese names of the sixty-four hexagrams, and much
more, "The Numerology of the I Ching" is a must for serious I Ching
students.
