I Ching

The principles of the i ching originated with the mythical Fu Hsi.

He was one of the earliest legendary rulers of China.

It is said that the eight trigrams (ba gua) have been revealed to him which later develop by Yu into sixty-four hexagrams.

The philosophy centers on the ideas of the dynamic balance of opposites positive (yang) and negative (yin).

This philosophy and way of life in the universe is at the heart of Chinese cultural beliefs.

Some westerners considers the i ching simply a form of divination.

Within the lies the concept that everything complicated can be broken down to it's simplest parts, that everything is in a state of change, and that change is constant.
