Abstract: 'The I Ching, or Book of Changes, represents one of the first efforts of the human mind to place itself in the universe. It has exerted a living influence in China for three thousand years. Beginning in the dawn of history as a book of oracles, the Book of Changes outgrew this limitation when ethical values were attached to the pronouncements of the oracle; it became a book of wisdom, eventually one of the Five Classics of Confucianism and provided the common source for both Confucianism and Taoism.'
