My reason for getting it was that it is touted as a Taoist approach to the book; Huang is called a "Taoist Master" on the cover. But now I'm puzzled - reading the introduction he seems very preoccupied with Confucious and his commentaries. I've not started in the renditions of the gua texts yet - I'll report back again when I've read it all :-) In the meantime, what have other folks made of this version?

Since my own attitude toward the Yi is a mixture of traditional Confucianism and western empirical methods I found his approach very pleasing. I also enjoy the wonderful design of the book itself (I'm an addictive bibliophile). I've just gotten my copy of "The Numerology of the I Ching" by Master Huang from Barnes & Noble, but I haven't had much of a chance to get into it. With your interest in the patterns of the Yi I think you will find it of interest, even if a lot of it will be familiar from other sources.

It is based on the Confucian tradition. He even thinks Confucius wrote the full Ten Wings, which already is outdated. I like his explanation of the "characters". (of the name that is), though. It's a nice book to read, very traditional, and sometimes even out-dated (comments of Confucius) and far from complete, but there are also small details which makes it interesting, like the connection with the calendar, the opposite gua, the inverse gua and the mutual gua. You do not need this book to get all that, because it's already mentioned in other books, but it 's printed together in one book here. There should have been expplanations about these items, why he choose to print these gua's, and what you can do with them. There are just plain texts, comments (confucian, NOT taost, to me that is :-D...) and no explanations why he choose for certain items.... In the meanwhile I'm gonna unsubscribe myself because I will be back with a new e-mail adres.
