Detailed info on the history of the I-Ching, with the creation of it and use by both practitioners of Taosim and Confucianism. The first portion is the history of and the second portion takes stories, and breaks them down into Taoist and Confucian lessons.

I appreciated and enjoyed the inclusion of both the Confucian and the Taoist Ta Chuan and I Ching interpretations and teachings but only the Taoist perspective felt like I could grasp and understand.

The hardback edition is beautiful to hold.
