The Elemental Changes
Translated by Michael Nylan from The Tai Hsuan Ching of Master Yang Hsiung.
6" x 9", 391 pages, paperback. Companion to the I-Ching. The complete
text of The Elemental Changes and its ten auto commentaries are here translated
into accessible and, whenever possible, literal English. Following the Chinese
tradition, comments are appended to each tetagram in order to indicate the
main lines of interpretation suggested by earlier commentators. Today in
the West, The Elemental Changes is an essential tool for understanding the
Tao as it operates in the Cosmos, in the minds of sages, and in sacred texts.
It is also one of the great philosophical poems in world literature. |
