Numerology of the I Ching

[beatrice380]

Hello everyone,

I hope there wasn't any previous thread on this as I couldn't find any!

I am wondering if anyone has read The Numerology of the I Ching by Huang. If so, what is your opinion?

At the moment the translations I consult Yi with are Hilary's, Balkin's and Karcher's, which I think compensate one another very well. I guess what I'm looking for is a text that tells me more about nuclear hexagrams and more subtle hidden correspondences between the hexagrams.

Any other book recommendations are very welcome!

Thank you very much

Beatrice

Briefly, what I like about Alfred Huang's book concerning this, is that he keeps it within the frame of the I Ching, meaning no stepping into other areas of numerology than what's to be found relevant in the I Ching itself.

By the way, as I don't know how far into this you are situated I'll lead your attention to the commentaries, especially the so-called Ta Chuan (these are also named The Ten Wings and can, among in other places, be found in the Wilhelm/Baynes translation of the I Ching, Book II, The Material)

Thank you very much!
I will definitely look into the Ta Chuan then.
