I Ching or Book of Changes

James Legge - Kessinger Publishing, 2003

Book description

1899. Fu Hsi, the first of the Five Emperors of the legendary period, is said to have been miraculously conceived by his mother who, after a gestation of twelve years, gave birth to him at Ch'eng-chi in Shenshi. He taught his people to hunt, to fish and to keep flocks. He showed them how to split the wood of t'ung tree, and then how to twist silk threads and stretch them to form rude musical instruments. From the markings on the back of a tortoise, he is said to have constructed the Eight Diagrams from which were developed the whole system of I Ching.

Reviews and discussion

Book Reference for Yi Jing

(cjgait)

I notice there is a field marked 'Publication' on the Yi Jing page, with a link to Amazon. However the edition is one that I don't think anyone can particularly recommend (expensive compared to other available editions). I'm not sure how the link is chosen, but would a search link make more sense, like this one:
www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_nos...
