[quote=MAY001,38666]It's a mysterious book popular most in Zhou Dynasty. It's said that the author of the book is Wenwang of Zhou Dynasty, the first king of Zhou. But there are many other ideas about the origination now. It was hard to read even in Spring and Autumn Period, thus ancient people wrote 易传 to unscramble 易经. Now what we call 周易(I Ching of Zhou Dynasty) means the two books, 易传 and 易经. The Yin and Yang theory is originated from this great book. Taoism and Confucianism was also deep affected by this book. Feng shui and the Eight Diagrams are two related research of this book. According to the history records, fortune-telling has three methods. 易经 is only one of the three. Others are 连山 and 归藏, which have been lost for many many years. [/quote]
