Foreword to the I Ching - By C. G. Jung. Forewordby Carl Gustav Jung HTML Edition by Dan Baruth Since I am not a sinologue, a foreword to the Book of Changes from my hand must be a testimonial of my individual experience with this great and singular book.
Feng Shui - Yi Jing. The main elements of the Yi Jing are its hexagrams.
These 64 figures, made up only of solid and broken lines, are the foundation of this book which has come to us through more than two millennia, but nowhere in the book is there an explanation of what these hexagrams really represent. It is as if the Chisese of the Han Dynasty did not need a user's manual to use the book, that the mere words used to describe the situation presented in the hexagram were sufficient. This must be the case, because their diviners knew this system perfectly, and did not need to explain the obvious. Unfortunately, time has gone by, and we do not have this knowledge, this information that they transmitted orally and never put down in black and white. We need to examine this problem if we truly want to understand the Yi Jing. Jung-cu.
