Inside a radically new translation and interpretation of the I Ching, David Hinton pieces this ancient Chinese language masterwork of the most common apparatus and discovers a deeply poetic and philosophical wording. Teasing out a stylish eyesight of the cosmos as ever-changing yet harmonious, Hinton discloses the seed from which Chinese beliefs, poetry, and painting grew. Although it was and it is widely used for divination, the I Ching is also a book of poetic beliefs, deeply appreciated by music artists and intellectuals, and Hinton's translation restores it to its original lyrical form. Previous translations have rendered the I Ching as a divination wording packed with arcane language and intensive commentary. Though interesting, these versions seldom hint at the work's philosophical center, let alone its literary beauty. Here, Hinton translates only the initial strata of the text, revealing a completely made work of literature in its right. The result is packed with untamed imagery, fables, aphorisms, and testimonies.
