About the Book:
The Numerology of the I Ching is the first book to bring the complete Taoist teachings on form, structure, and symbol in the I Ching to a Western audience, and it is a natural complement to Alfred Huang’s heralded Complete I Ching. It examines not only the classic circular arrangement of the eight trigrams but also the hidden numerology in this arrangement and its relationship to tai chi and the Chinese elements. Huang explains the binary code underlying the I Ching, the symbolism behind the square diagram of all 64 hexagrams, and the unique circular layout of the 64 hexagrams, nearly unknown in the West. Entire chapters are devoted to such vital material as the hosts of the hexagrams and the mutual hexagrams – all barely hinted at in previous version of the I Ching. With listings of additional symbolism for the ba gua, formulas for understanding the sacred He Tu and Lo Shu diagrams, and much more, The Numerology of the I Ching is a must for serious I Ching students.
