The “I Ching”, also known as the “Book of Changes”, is one of the oldest and most influential Chinese classics. It dates back thousands of years and serves as a comprehensive guide for divination, philosophy, and understanding the universe.
The text is composed of 64 hexagrams, each formed by six lines, either solid (yang) or broken (yin). These hexagrams represent different states, situations, and changes in life. By interpreting the hexagrams, people in ancient times sought to gain insights into future events, make decisions, and understand the underlying principles governing nature and human affairs.
The “I Ching” encompasses profound wisdom about the cycles of life, the balance between opposing forces, and the concept of harmonious living. It has not only influenced traditional Chinese culture, including aspects like feng shui and traditional medicine, but has also attracted global attention for its unique view of the world and its timeless wisdom.
