By examining all possible ancient and modern interpretations The Essential I Ching offers the most comprehensive I Ching translation. All interpretations include quotes from the ancient masters of Chinese philosophy as well as being based on the power of nature which originally inspired the Book of Changes. Each line interpretation refers to the hexagram that would have been created by the line change for added insight. Additionally, each hexagram includes the Hu Gua (secondary influence) the Zong Gua (opposite influence) and even a quick reference to what the hexagram means when received as the changing hexagram. There is no other book on the I Ching that can compare to the research that has gone into preparing this text and it is interpreted in a way that is modern and relevant to today.
