This whimsical tale takes us on an enchanted journey back in time to the origins of the I Ching in ancient China. It is the story of Tan, the village ne'er-do-well who becomes the first disciple of the great sage emperor, Fu Hsi, to whom the I Ching is attributed. As Fu Hsi opens the heart of the I Ching to the young disciple who sits at his feet, so the reader is exposed to the inner workings of that great book of divination. Readers the world over say that the marvelous story of A Tale of the I Ching opens the I Ching to them as never before.
