Great I Ching book!, Nov 20 2004
By Tai Chi Marty - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Yijing Wondering And Wandering (Paperback)
I love this book. Its approach is so different. Each hexagram is examined using the etymology of its Chinese name, e.g. #4 Meng: the piglet who is ensnared in a bramble bush. Also wonderful are the humorous quotes from Chuang Tzu and others, e.g. in the section on Meng: "It is difficult to be muddle-headed. It is difficult to be clever. But it is still more difficult to graduate from cleverness to muddle-headedness."

Outstanding Study of the I Ching, July 11 2010
By Brahman - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yijing Wondering And Wandering (Paperback)
One can't really say too many good things about this book. Perhaps it's only flaw is that it does not include moving lines. But then it's a book about the relationship of the individual hexagrams to one another. Along with a very deep and poetic examination of the structure of the I Ching, you also get, with each pair of hexagrams, quotations from Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu, the original voices of philosophical Taoism. I can't recommend this too highly to those with an abiding interest in The Book of Changes.
