The Sacred Books of China, Part 2, The Yi King: The Texts of Confucianism (1882) is a book that explores the ancient Chinese text known as the Yi Jing or I Ching. The book was written by Confucius and is part of a series of sacred texts that were collected and translated by James Legge in the late 19th century. The Yi Jing is a complex text that has been used for divination and as a guide to ethical behavior for thousands of years. The book is divided into 64 hexagrams, each of which represents a different situation or state of being. The hexagrams are made up of six lines, each of which can be either solid or broken, and each line has a different meaning.The book includes a detailed commentary on each hexagram, explaining its meaning and offering guidance on how to interpret it. It also includes a section on the history and philosophy of Confucianism, which is one of the major schools of thought in Chinese philosophy.Overall, The Sacred Books of China, Part 2, The Yi King: The Texts of Confucianism (1882) is a fascinating exploration of an ancient text that continues to have relevance and influence in Chinese culture today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
