W. A. Sherrill

Drawn from a variety uf classical Chineses sources, this informative and helpful book covers advance divination (teaching the reader methods of making predictions any time, anywhere and in any circumstances), Geomancy (stressing the beneficiality of rooms in which you live and work) and Directionology (which provides a means of knowning the most favourable directions of trips, vacations, and permanent moves, including the element of timing as to when travel would be most successful ), as well as other areas concerned with I Ching. Other astrologies related to I Ching-Tzu Pin, Tzu Wei and Nine Star-as well a the astrology of I Ching itself, are also discussed: so too is the place of I Ching as the basis for Chinese philosophies, as well as its associations with meditation, medicine and history.

Intended as a companion volume both to the I Ching and to the same author's previous work, The Astrology of I Ching (recommended by Prediction as 'the best and most thorough study of the I Ching'), An Anthology of I Ching offers some valuable keys to Chinese culture, philosophies and thoughts.
