Yijingor I Ching(Chinese; “Book of Changes”) Ancient Chinese text, one of the Five Classics of Confucianism. The main body of the work, traditionally attributed to Wenwang, contains a discussion of the divinatory system used by wizards in the Zhou dynasty. A supplementary section of “commentaries,” believed to date from the Warring States period (475–221 BC), is a philosophical exposition that attempts to explain the world and its ethical principles. The book's cosmology, which involves humans and nature in a single system, has made it universally popular. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

In ancient China, for example the emperors had court astrologers and special diviners, who predicted the future using a set of sticks called the Yijing. Indeed, the mathematician's desire to develop a universal character--a language that would, among other things, by apprehensible across otherwise vast geographical and cultural divides--led him to seek for unexpected connections between his privileged (and putatively "transparent") system of zeroes and ones and the Chinese Yijing, news concerning which was being disseminated in Europe by Catholic missionaries. |
