The oldest oracle in the world was created over 4,500 years ago by Fu Xi, the mythical First Emperor of China. The I Ching, or Book of Changes, has been used ever since as a venerated source of philosophical wisdom. Consult it with respect and you will receive advice on how to act now-and in the future. Now Chao-Hsiu Chen's 64 exquisite paintings make it easier to understand than ever before, and the I Ching's wisdom is accessible to everyone, anywhere, and at any time. Includes three metallic coins.
