Mystery Information
Hexagram stories by Anton Heyboer

Use this YiJing (I Ching) together with a good traditional translation! Wilhelm, Lynn, Balkin, Legge, Blofeld (or Bradford, see below!), to name some. I made it because many possibilities cannot be found anywhere, so I add them here, searching for the wide range of meanings, rather than making a perfect translation.

Translating the YILIN: one verse for every change, 4096 verses. Ask, or help, or search.

In general about this website

This website is online since day, month and year of White Dragon, April 22, 2000

I changed the name of this website (it was Book of the Moon). The character YI is not a picture of the moon, but the name of an ancient sacrifice - to the sun! Its ideogram is the sun emerging from behind a cloud (see Stephen Marshall 'The mandate of heaven', and the dictionary 'Le Grand Ricci'). Its original meaning was the change of weather, later encompassing all changes.
Latest find: no sun or moon at all in the character 'Yi'... See here.
Since there are also clues for an ancient calendar system, I will not discard the idea of the moon. The duration of 13 lunations is 13 x 29,53 = 383,89 days. The Yijing has 384 yao, hexagram lines. So now it is: "Book of Sun and Moon"
(Marshall's book and his website are extremely valuable for everyone who seriously studies the Yi-jing. http://www.yijing.btinternet.co.uk/ or http://www.biroco.com/yijing/index.htm )

The best translations I know:
I Ching (Yijing) of Bradford Hatcher: http://www.hermetica.info About every aspect of YiJing you can imagine.
And the excellent translation with interpretation of Hilary Barret: "I Ching -walking your path, creating your future". Available in US and UK
