Book of Changes

             

   
Confucius Chinese Philosopher He Consults the I-Ching . . .  —  Buy this art print at AllPosters.com.
 

 
  


Alternatively known as I Ching.


Ancient Chinese sacred book, one of the classics of Confucianism and one of the earliest works of Chinese literature, traditionally used for divination and as a moral, philosophical, and cosmological text.


The I Ching is based on 64 symbolic hexagrams. Each hexagram consists of a pair of trigrams. There are eight basic trigrams, each named for a natural phenomenon. The symbolic significance of each hexagram is expressed in cryptic poetic passages and in philosophical commentary.


The book is consulted by casting lots six times to determine the appropriate hexagram. The hexagrams evolved as fortune-telling symbols. Wen Wang (flourished about 1150 BC) is traditionally thought to have added moral counsel to the original divinatory function of the hexagrams. It is probable that Confucius and his followers added further philosophical commentary.

Although rejected by the empiricist scholars of the Qing (Ch'ng) dynasty, the numerological aspects of the work have been reemphasized by Westerners interested in Eastern mysticism. The work was translated in the nineteenth century by James Legge and Richard Wilhelm. Wilhelm's translation included a forward by the psychoanalyst Carl Jung who saw the text as a means to accessing the subconscious through meditation upon the symbols.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated. Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one person working on this site in my spare time.


As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the Forums, so we can all discuss the occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please. Registration will be required.


Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be patient and understanding.

 






          

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny, shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the curious and the unusual.
