I Ching (Yijing, Book of Changes)

The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese text used as a spiritual and philosophical guide. It contains 64 hexagrams—symbols made of six stacked lines, either broken or unbroken—that represent different situations, forces, and cycles in life. By consulting the I Ching through methods like casting coins or sticks, individuals seek insight into challenges, decisions, or future trends. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of change and suggests wise, adaptable responses, blending wisdom, intuition, and reflection. The I Ching remains a profound tool for understanding life's patterns and navigating uncertainty.
