Luis:

I'm not sure if the book is authentic or fake. Harmen knows:

Wolfgang Bauer
Das Bild in der Weissage-Literatur Chinas - Prophetische Texte im politischen Leben vom Buch der Wandlung bis zu Mao Tse Tung (ISBN 3787900705)

This A4-sized book of 74 pages mainly deals with the Tuibeitu 推背圖, an ancient prophetic text in about 66 chapters, often compared to the work of Nostradamus. Just as with Nostradamus is the Tuibeitu used to foretell the future in todays world. But what many people do not know is that there were different versions of the TBT, and Bauer discusses four of these versions, giving images, the content of the text and the differences in each version. It also contains a complete edition of the TBT in color and BW pictures. The TBT is still an important text in China, and there is a version which links the TBT to some hexagrams of the Yijing.

This is just what I have on my shelves. Don't forget the Germans! Their work is often valuable, inspiring and very complete if we compare it with the English equivalents.

In chinese pages there are many pictures like this.

Thanks Charly,

I missed that article from Harmen. And yes, actually, it was a thread in the China History Forum that prompted me to search for more info.
