Taoist Master Alfred Huang

    Meester Alfred Huang, een meester van de derde generatie in Wu-stijl Tai Chi Chuan, Chi Kung en oosterse meditatie, is professor in de taoïstische filosofie. Tijdens zijn gevangenschap in 1966, toen hij tijdens de Culturele Revolutie ter dood werd veroordeeld, mediteerde hij op de I Ching. De gevonden innerlijke kracht stelde hem in staat 13 jaar in de gevangenis te overleven, en na zijn vrijlating in 1979 emigreerde hij naar de Verenigde Staten. Zijn werk richt zich op het verbinden van oude Chinese wijsheid met moderne benaderingen van zelfontdekking en genezing, en biedt lezers diepgaande inzichten in de filosofische en spirituele aspecten van het leven.

      The first book to cover the complete Taoist teachings on form, structure, and symbol in the I Ching.• Provides many new patterns and diagrams for visualizing the layout of the 64 hexagrams.• Includes advanced teachings on the hosts of the hexagrams, the mutual hexagrams, and the core hexagrams.• Written by Taoist Master Alfred Huang, author of The Complete I Ching .The Numerology of the I Ching is the first book to bring the complete Taoist teachings on form, structure, and symbol in the I Ching to a Western audience, and it is a natural complement to Alfred Huang's heralded Complete I Ching . It examines not only the classic circular arrangement of the eight trigrams but also the hidden numerology in this arrangement and its relationship to tai chi and the Chinese elements. Huang explains the binary code underlying the I Ching, the symbolism behind the square diagram of all 64 hexagrams, and Fu Xi's unique circular layout of the 64 hexagrams, completely unknown in the West. Entire chapters are devoted to such vital material as the hosts of the hexagrams, the mutual hexagrams, and the core hexagrams--all barely hinted at in previous versions of the I Ching. With appendices listing additional symbolism for each hexagram, formulas for easily memorizing the Chinese names of the sixty-four hexagrams, and much more, The Numerology of the I Ching is a must for serious I Ching students.
