Original I Ching: An Authentic Translation of the Book of Changes Hardcover - 2011
by Margaret J. Pearson
Summary
The I Ching's purpose is universal: to provide good counsel to its users in making decisions during times of change. Since its origins about 3,000 years ago, it has become a compendium of wisdom used by people of many cultures and eras.
This groundbreaking new translation by Dr. Margaret Pearson is based on the text created during the first centuries of the Zhou Dynasty, study of documents showing how it was used in the dynasty, and on current archaeological research findings. Her translation removes centuries of encrusted inaccuracies to better reveal the I Ching's core truths for today's readers.
Whether you are interested in trying this millennia-tested method of making wise choices or in understanding the world view of the early Chinese, this edition is essential reading.
From the rear cover
The "I Ching" or "Book of Changes" is one of the World's most influential books-comparable to the Bible, the Koran, and the Upanishads. Since its origin 3,000 years ago, it has become a compendium of wisdom used by people of many cultures and eras, analyzed by scholars and seekers alike.
This groundbreaking new translation is based on core text created during the first centuries of the Zhou Dynasty (1045?-256BCE). Freed from the distorting effects of commentaries written a thousand years later and after, the essential meaning of the original text comes through here with unusual directness. For those wishing to use the text to clarify their thinking about decisions, Pearson also provides a step-by-step guide.
