Description

Explore the historical roots of the Zhou Changes, known in the West as the I Ching, through this scholarly work from Brill. As the ninth volume in the Prognostication in History series, this book represents the result of over forty years of intensive research in Chinese archaeology. This text traces the evolution of the Zhou Changes from its beginnings in Bronze Age China. It examines how the practice moved from oracle-bone and milfoil divinations to becoming one of the foundational Chinese classics. By studying the transformation of these methods throughout the Zhou dynasty, readers gain a deeper understanding of how the text shaped ancient culture. The book offers a detailed survey of the theory and practice of divination. It explains how the hexagram and line statements were originally produced and how they were interpreted during that era. This work is an essential resource for those interested in the history of divination and the development of ancient Chinese literature.
