The eternal fascination of this classic work of religious literature-first published over 2,000 years ago-lies in its profound wisdom, and the light it casts on the spiritual and moral pathway we must all walk. Translated from the original Chinese text, which ensures Lao Tzu's message remains pure, Chao-Hsiu Chen's new and accurate interpretation draws on the original Chinese text. Each of the eighty-one chapter heading symbols is beautifully illustrated with Chao's own distinctive brushwork style art and calligraphy. Read the chapters in sequence, or select one at random each day, for inspiration and guidance to illuminate your way.

The oldest oracle in the world was created over 4,500 years ago by Fu Xi, the mythical First Emperor of China. The I Ching, or Book of Changes, has been used ever since as a venerated source of philosophical wisdom. Consult it with respect and you will receive advice on how to act now-and in the future. Now Chao-Hsiu Chen's 64 exquisite paintings make it easier to understand than ever before, and the I Ching's wisdom is accessible to everyone, anywhere, and at any time. Includes three metallic coins.
