This major new reference work is organised as a Chinese-English encyclopedia, arranged alphabetically according to the \u003cem\u003epinyin\u003c\/em\u003e romanisation, with Chinese characters appended. A character index as well as an English index is included. The entries are of two kinds: technical terms and various other concepts related to the 'image and number' tradition, and bio-bibliographical information on Chinese \u003cem\u003eYi jing\u003c\/em\u003e scholars. Each entry in the former category has a brief explanation that includes references to the origins of the term, cross-references, and a reference to an entry giving a more comprehensive treatment of the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45237043462295,"sku":"9781138862678","price":4399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138862678.webp?v=1769215442","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-companion-to-yi-jing-numerology-and-cosmology-9781138862678","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
