Description:A Must-Read Classical Text on Systematic I Ching Divination, Hexagram and Line Texts, Symbolic Imagery, and the Na Jia Method (Wen Wang Gua) (English Edition)Written by Shang Binghe (compiled circa 1880 to 1910 CE)Translated by Xuan WanyanStudies on Ancient I Ching Divination Cases is a rigorous, case-based classic of I Ching divination. It presents one hundred and seventy case analyses drawn primarily from major Chinese historical sources, spanning well-known figures and high-stakes moments across Chinese history. It includes, for example, records of Confucius casting divinations for himself and for his disciples, alongside many other historically anchored readings that later Yi scholars repeatedly discussed and transmitted. Building on the original one hundred and thirty-nine-case edition, this English edition adds further cases excerpted from Shang Binghe’s other writings, forming a fuller and more comprehensive corpus.Compiled and interpreted by the renowned modern I Ching scholar Shang Binghe (1870–1950 CE), the book offers integrated readings that combine hexagram texts, line statements, symbolic imagery, and Six Lines analysis through the Na Jia method (Wen Wang Gua). It shows not only what the Zhouyi text says, but how divination operated as a practical method in real decisions. To support readers unfamiliar with Chinese history, each case includes concise contextual background on the historical figures and events involved.The collection also illustrates the historical influence of I Ching divination in China. It shows how rulers, high officials, and private individuals applied divination to assess national affairs, military campaigns, personal fate, illness, travel, omens, and other concrete matters, and how specific readings became reference points in later tradition. It also includes Hidden Object Divination (shefu) material, a traditional practice widely used across social classes to train rapid, image-based inference by identifying what is concealed under a cover.This English edition was translated and annotated by Xuan Wanyan (I Ching Stream), a Columbia University graduate and licensed CPA from a family tradition of I Ching study. To the best of the translator’s knowledge, it is the first English translation of this widely respected classic, bringing its historically grounded case tradition and technical method to non-Chinese readers while preserving the work’s original depth.Shang Binghe (1870 to 1950 CE), style name Jiezhi, was a native of Hebei and a modern I Ching scholar. A leading figure of the images and numbers approach, he advanced the view that “the I Ching text arises from the images,” insisting that images are the foundation of the I Ching, and his contributions to I Ching image studies were especially influential. His guiding principle can be summarized in one sentence: To learn the I Ching, begin with divination. In that spirit, he devoted himself to collecting verifiable historical divination cases from the Zuo Commentary and the Discourses of the States onward, and through careful textual examination produced Studies on Ancient I Ching Divination Cases, providing firmer documentary grounding for issues such as the yarrow-stalk procedure and the meanings of Use-Nine and Use-Six. He also recovered many long-lost “lost images” through his annotation of Jiao’s I Ching Forest, and systematized key image-reading methods, including upright and inverted images and mutual images. Through this body of work, he helped bring the Western Han image-based tradition back into clearer view in the modern era, with enduring academic impact.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
