The I Ching is a classic text of Chinese culture, being one of the earliest printed books. It shows the strength of Tao, the principle of change effected by chance. It takes place in every dimension of life, in the evolutions and revolutions of the world as well as in natural cycles.
To read the I Ching is the same as to question the general principle of change. In order to interpret its answers one must question the lines of force of a given situation, what limits its developement and that which opens it to a new future.
