Extra! Extra! Read all about it! http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/clipart/happy.gif

Ladies and gentlemen, as you may know from a few comments here and there, I've been working on a site partly dedicated to the Yi, with a discussion forum very similar to the one here on Clarity. The only difference is that it is mainly for the Spanish speaking community and most of its content is in Spanish.

However, I created what I think is a useful section in English with the Wilhelm/Baynes translation of the Yi. Of course, this translation is online in many different places. The good thing about this particular page, however, is that it is a database of the text (I actually broke the text down in sections and fed it to a database) as opposed to the straight, sausage like text, you can find in other places. This means that you can search the text by many different parameters, such as Hex number, Trigram components and Judgement and Image texts. Also, if you are consulting the Yi you can find the Hexagram number and text by selecting both Trigrams.

Please visit my Yi query (http://www.sorocabana.net/yiqueries.php) page. The rest of the site, except my blog which is a mix of languages, is in Spanish.

Cheers,

Luis


PS: I've really been honing my website design and MySQL database skills for this site... Cool stuff to know.

Luis, i like the way you've layed out your website; it's simple and easy to navigate.

and if i spoke Spanish, I'd definitely be nosing my way into a discussion or two at your cafe, and ruffling a few feathers, no doubt http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/clipart/wink.gif well now.... keeping you sharp and on your toes does require double duty at times

hmmm... perhaps it would help to balance an old teapot on your head while you practised a few Flamenco dance steps http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/clipart/biggrin.gif http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/clipart/wink.gif

Thank you Dharma!

I'll try the Flamenco but don't hold your breath. I'm a sad excuse for a dancer... (there goes the stereotype out the window...) http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/clipart/biggrin.gif
