The Classic of Changes

The Classic of Changes, also known as the I Ching or Yijing, is an ancient Chinese text that serves as a divination guide and philosophical treatise. It consists of a series of 64 hexagrams, which are symbols formed by six lines that can be either broken or unbroken. Each hexagram represents different situations and changes in life. The text offers wisdom on navigating challenges, making decisions, and understanding the dynamics of change. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things and encourages reflection on one’s circumstances to achieve harmony and insight.
