I-CHING, also named " The Book of Change," is among the oldest Chinese classics. The I Ching was originally a divination manual in the Western Zhou period (1000-750 BC). Throughout the Warring States and early imperial periods (500-200 BC), it transformed into a cosmological text with a series of philosophical commentaries known as the Ten Wings. After becoming part of the Chinese Five Classics in the 2nd century BC, the I Ching was the basis for divination practice for centuries across the Far East and was the subject of scholarly commentary. Between the 18th and 20th centuries, it was influential in Western understanding of East Asian philosophical thought. As a divination text, the I Ching is used for a Chinese form of cleromancy known as the I Ching divination, in which bundles of yarrow stalks (or coins) are manipulated to produce sets of six random numbers ranging from 6 to 9. Each of the 64 possible sets corresponds to a hexagram, which can be looked up in the I Ching. The hexagrams are arranged in an order known as the King Wen sequence. The interpretation of the readings found in the I Ching has been discussed and debated over the centuries. Many commentators have used the book symbolically, often to guide moral decision-making, as informed by Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. The hexagrams have usually acquired cosmological significance and have been paralleled with many other traditional names for change processes, such as yin, yang, and Wu Xing.

Low, Han Lin: - "This book is translated based on our great mentor, Master Zeng Shiqiang (28 August 1934 - 11 November 2018), a Chinese sinologist best known for studying the I Ching. Based on his theory and concepts, the author added some of the stories and interpretations based on his life experiences. Back then, I-Ching has a huge bias towards masculine due to the cultural background. Hence, this version of the translation did its very best to achieve gender equality, which suits current society. This would be one of the easiest and most detailed explanations of I-Ching, both philosophically and in terms of divinity. Let's hope all readers can learn the wisdom of the ancient East to enrich their lifestyles."
