<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Similar to the "I Ching," this new translation from best-selling Chinese historian and translator Ralph Sawyer presents a popular divination tool for attaining self-knowledge and wisdom in the authentic Chinese tradition<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The <i>Ling Ch'I Ching</i> was first created by an unknown Chinese scholar who consciously sought to present the world with a more accessible oracle than the esoteric <i>I Ching</i>. For centuries the <i>Ling Ch'I Ching</i>has been a popular divination device for attaining self-knowledge and wisdom. Like its more famous cousin, the <i>I Ching</i>, the <i>Ling Ch'I Ching</i>is rich in poetic language and metaphorical imagery, linking the dynamic principles of heaven and earth with the affairs of people. But the <i>Ling Ch'I Ching</i>is far more accessible than the <i>I Ching</i>, focusing on the concerns of day-to-day life and positive accomplishment, with no moving lines to interpret. The method of consultation includes throwing twelve coins, which are then arranged in three rows to yield one of 125 possible trigraphs. In the text, each trigraph is represented by a core oracle describing a situation, problem, or event, and its internal dynamic, along with a verse emphasizing the trigraph's more subtle, intuitive qualities. To aid the reader in interpreting the oracle, selections from classical commentaries have been included, as well as the translators' own commentary on the text.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ralph D. Sawyer</b>, one of America's leading scholars in Chinese warfare, has worked extensively with major intelligence and defense agencies. After studying at MIT and Harvard and a brief stint of university teaching, Sawyer has spent the past thirty years lecturing and doing international consulting work focused on China.
