About this app

This app omits all of the commentary outside of the core text with the intent of bringing a more personal focus to the experience of consulting the I Ching.

The imagery and poetry of the core text will hopefully allow for a freer interpretation based on a user's personal context.

Notes on the text

The text on this website is from Richard Wilhelm's 1924 German translation, which was subsequently translated to English in 1950 by Cary F. Baynes.

History

Eliot Weinberger has a great article about the history of the I Ching from the New York Review of Books.
