About I Ching

For countless centuries emperor and peasant, scholar and unlearned alike have sought to understand the timeless wisdom and eerie divinations of the I Ching, translated, the Book of Changes. Using the simple tools of three coins, one can seek insight from the I Chlng regarding whatever question is on one's heart.

About this website

This website is an experiment in turning a book into a living website. It is built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The design of this website reflect my own reading of the original 易经 together with the translation by Richard Wilhelm and Cary F. Baynes and the modern commentary known as Windwalker I Ching.

Using this website

This website is used to navigate the content of the I Ching, to access hexagrams quickly, and to interact with the text in a simple, direct way. An interactive section allows coins to be tossed to form a hexagram, providing a straightforward and interactive experience of the consultation process.
