Introduction to I Ching

The I Ching , fundamental text of Eastern spirituality , remains mysterious . This first book offers a thorough study of the legend and history of this text. He gives us the contents of traditional commentaries and especially introduces us to the genesis of the signs and to the arrangement of trigrams . Under the modest title " Introduction," Jean Choain offers in reality an I Ching reading method from its basic elements far too often overlooked. The author also sought to describe Ching applications in traditional Chinese medicine and to decipher the symbol of the swastika . The book is supplemented by a bibliography and an important index.
