“The Power of Yi reveals the true philosophical values of how to live in harmony with others and yourself.â€
Yi was created 6500 years ago. Around 500 BC, Confucius and his disciples compiled ten commentaries on Zhou Yi, one of the branches of Yi.
In 200 AD Zhou Yi and the commentaries were combined into what is known today as Yi Jing. In 1924, Richard Wilhelm translated Yi Jing for the western audience, entitling it I Ching or The Book of Changes, which provides instruction on how to handle fifty narrow sticks for the purpose of divination.
In contrast to the view of Yi's being only a tool for divination and based on fifty years of research in science and Chinese classics, the author of The Power of Yi finally reveals how the true philosophical values of Yi can be applied for living in harmony with others and yourself.
