The I Ching

The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese text used for divination and wisdom. It consists of 64 hexagrams, each made up of six lines that can be either broken (yin) or unbroken (yang). Users consult the I Ching by casting coins or yarrow sticks to generate a hexagram, which they then interpret. Each hexagram represents a specific situation, providing guidance on change, balance, and moral dilemmas. The I Ching emphasizes the interconnectedness of life and the importance of adapting to life's fluctuations, making it both a philosophical work and a practical tool for decision-making.
