A revised edition of the definitive translation of the world’s most important book of divination

• The first English translation from within the tradition by a Chinese Taoist Master

• Includes translations of the Ten Wings--the commentaries by Confucius essential to the I Ching’s insights

Translated by the eminent Taoist Master Alfred Huang, The Complete I Ching has been praised by scholars and new students of the I Ching since its first edition. A native Chinese speaker, Master Huang first translated the original ideograms of the I Ching into contemporary Chinese and then into English, bringing forth the intuitive meanings embodied in the images of the I Ching and imbuing his translation with an accuracy and authenticity not possible in other English translations. However, what makes his translation truly definitive is his return to prominence of the Ten Wings, the commentaries by Confucius that are essential to the I Ching’s insights.

This 10th anniversary edition offers a thorough introduction to the history of the I Ching, how to use it, and several new divination methods; in-depth and easy-to-reference translations of each hexagram name, description, and pictogram; and discussions of the interrelations between the hexagrams and the spiritual meaning of their sequence.

Product description

Review

“A careful comparison of Huang’s translation with the Wilhelm, Legge, and Blofeld versions reveals its superiority in nearly every respect. Readers interested in acquainting themselves with the I Ching for the first time need to look no further; those who have formed a deep personal attachment to a previous translation owe it to themselves to explore this one as well.” ― Intuition

“What is constant through this translation is both a sense of tradition and an appreciation of modernity. Throughout is a philosophical calmness, a sense of the intellectual mingling with the spirit of things. Most importantly, Huang makes this a useful I Ching, more useful for the current temperament than older, more self-conscious translations.” ― The Book Reader

“This translation, from a Taoist master, is the most extensive treatment of the subject I have ever encountered. . . . the quality of the work is so exceptional that it is hard to find fault with it. . . . if you wish to learn this system, this book will be an indispensable aid to your education. There is such a wealth of information contained in this book (each page contains the hexagram being discussed and the ideograph of the name, so there is no confusion) that it is hard to overstate the usefulness of this work. . . . This it is of use and benefit for both the novice and the more experienced user.” ― Mike Gleason, Witchgrove

“Huang succeeds, also, in producing a work that keeps opening up new vistas of understanding and inviting the reader to explore the many layers of discovery offered by the mathematical, visual and literary dimensions of the classic.” ― Reg Little, New Dawn

“Impressive for its scope and the clarity of its translation, this 10th anniversary edition features a new introduction by Huany on the history and application of the I-Ching, with descriptions of the commentary and divination methods.” ― Book News, Inc., February 2011

“. . . this 10th Anniversary Edition of Master Huang’s translation brings new light to understanding and utilizing this ancient wisdom.” ― Light of Consciousness Journal, April 2011

“This book is an absolute requirement for those who rely upon the I-Ching, and most highly recommended as a primary text for anyone wishing to learn how to use it. Highest recommendations to author and publisher - excellent!” ― Elizabeth Hazel, FacingNorth.net, September 2011

He studied the I Ching--a forbidden book at the time--in secret with one of China's greatest I Ching masters, only to be branded an antirevolutionary by the Communist government and forced into manual labor in 1957 and imprisonment in 1966. During his 22 years of confinement, he found the strength to survive through meditation on the I Ching. Released in 1979, he emigrated to the United States. The founder of New Harmony, a nonprofit organization devoted to self-healing, and the author of The Numerology of the I Ching and Complete Tai-Chi, Master Huang lives on the island of Maui.

Chapter 16

Yü-Delight

Zhen-Thunder

Kun-Earth

Name and Structure

Yü originally meant delight: today it also means peace and happiness. Delight is the inverse of the preceding gua, Humbleness. Humbleness leads people to delight. Thus, Humbleness and Delight are complementary. Wilhelm translates Yü as Enthusiasm; Blofeld translates it as Repose. In this book I follow the original meaning, Delight.

Sequence of the Gua: When one’s harvest is great and one can still remain humble, there is sure to be an outburst of delight. Thus, after Humbleness, Delight follows.

The ideograph of this gua is a very old form consisting of two parts. The left portion is an ideograph of yü, which means hand out or give something away. There are two hands at the top and a vertical straight line connected to the lower hand, representing the arm. Between the two hands there is a little object. Taken as a whole it is a picture of the act of giving and receiving. The right portion of the ideograph represents an elephant, xiang. The elephant is standing upright on two rear legs with the tail touching the ground. The two front legs are held up in the air. The head of the elephant is looking forward with the long trunk curling upward. In the past there were elephants in the southern part of China, though they no longer exist there. In southern China, elephants were trained to help workers carry heavy things, but in the north they were trained for the purpose of giving people pleasure and delight. People performed a kind of dance known as the elephant dance, which King Wu was fond of. The two parts of the ideograph together mean delight--enjoyed by oneself or given to others.

The structure of this gua is Thunder above, Earth below. Thunder represents action, and Earth submission. These two primary gua standing together symbolize the action of the yang element followed delightfully by all the yin elements. In ancient China, people believed that the power of thunder had influence for a distance of a hundred li (a Chinese unit of length designating about one-third of a mile), equivalent to the realm of a feudal lord. For this reason, the Decision says, “Favorable to establish feudal lords and mobilize the multitude.” Earth is the symbol of a multitude. And establishing feudal lords means gaining assistance.

Decision

Delight.

Favorable to establish feudal lords

And mobilize the multitude.

Commentary on the Decision

Delight.

The firm meets with response.

Its will is fulfilled.

Acting in accord with the time and moving forward;

This is Delight.

Delight.

Acting in accord with the time and moving forward;

It is following the way of Heaven and Earth.

How much more will it be so

In establishing feudal lords and mobilizing the multitude?

Heaven and Earth move in accordance with the time;

Therefore sun and moon do not deviate from their courses,

And the four seasons do not err.

The holy person moves in accordance with the time and situation;

Therefore punishments and penalties become just,

And people are genuinely convinced.

Great indeed are the time and significance of Delight!

Commentary on the Symbol

Thunder comes out of the Earth,

Rising and stirring:

An image of Delight.

In correspondence with this,

The ancient king composed music to honor virtue and merit;

With ardent eagerness, he offered it to God

And shared it with his ancestors.

Yao Text

1. Initial Six

Singing out delight:

Misfortune.

Singing out delight:

One’s will comes to an end.

2. Second Six

Firm as rock,

Not merely for a whole day.

Being steadfast and upright: good fortune.

Not merely for a whole day.

Being steadfast and upright: good fortune.

It is central and correct.

3. Third Six

Staring upward, wallowing in delight:

Regret.

Delaying:

Regret again.

Staring upward, wallowing in delight,

There is regret.

The place is not appropriate.

4. Fourth Nine

Cause of delight;

Great accumulation obtained.

Be not suspicious.

Gather friends around you,

As a hair clasp holds hair together.

Cause of delight;

Great accumulation obtained.

One’s will is bold enough to fulfill great aims.

5. Fifth Six

Be steadfast and upright.

Even sick,

Still persist.

Won’t die.

Be steadfast and upright, even sick,

Resting upon a solid line.

Still persistent; won’t die.

The central way averts death.

6. Top Six

Dark delight.

Make a change:

No fault.

Dark delight reaches the top.

How could it last long?

Significance

The name of this gua is Delight, but the Yao Text is not so delightful. The aim of this gua is to expound the principle of harmony and delight. When one has accomplished great achievements and still remains humble, people will be delighted to gather around. However, this gua does not describe a situation of harmony and delight, but gives warning against self-satisfaction. It is too easy for one to indulge in one’s own pleasure and forget the delight of other people. To the Duke of Zhou, delight was not for one’s own sake but for all. The key is humility and sincerity; these two qualities bring harmony. This is the true meaning of Delight.

The image of this gua is Thunder above, Earth below. Thunder is the sound of yang energy. Thus, Confucius says, “The ancient king composed music to honor virtue and merit; with ardent eagerness, he offered it to God.” When thunder bursts above the Earth, myriad beings are nourished by its yang energy and become delighted and alive. It is a time of enthusiasm and delight. An enthusiastic and delighted mood is helpful to one’s success, but overenthusiasm and too much delight cause self-satisfaction. And self-satisfaction can lead to misfortune. For this reason, all the lines in this gua portend misfortune, except the second line.

Authentic and best book I have ever purchased. I use the I Ching 40 years ago with some school friends. It was so accurate I was banned from going to my friend's place forever again. I never knew I was clairvoyant at the time. My intuition has led me to seek out the iChing recently for guidance as I know this is a tool that can be trusted.

GOODVIBES

2.0 out of 5 stars Way off target . Authors delight in being different without cause .

Reviewed in Australia on 18 April 2021

Authors seem to delight in being different just for the sake of it hexagram 10 for instance , Conventioally Treading/Conduct from the Icon of Shoes + As Father/Alpha Male above youngest daughter/young female below or Powerful above , humble below etc . This author calls this hexagram 'Fulfilment' using obsure analysis .

Obviously , for hex 10 , when we have two humans of very different empowerment situations , Both have to be weary where they tread . Which requires conscious consideration of behaviour (conduct) and taking the next step ; thus treading . For the powerful and the weak , errors of conscientiousness lead to trouble .

The rest of the book is the same . Authors delight in just being different .

Another annoying thing in the kindle version is the authors haven't allow the magnifying of the old writing hexagram Icon , yet they discuss them at length .

1.0 out of 5 stars Not "complete" at all

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 March 2021

I don't know where to start with this. This is my first I Ching, and I spent a few days with it, and I can already see that it's not "complete" at all - and it's very confusing, especially to the beginner. Although the author talks about the importance of the Ten Wings in the introductory material, he actually excluded this material from his "translation" - which is not a translation at all but a rearrangement of some parts the original work and leaving some parts out, according to the author's preference. He says that other translations pretty much depress him, while the original Chinese I Ching always gave hope, hence he made his translation, being native Chinese speaker (which doesn't actually mean one can translate well at all).

I also got the Legge's translation - which IS actually a translation, as opposed to rearrangement of the text while skipping some parts, according to the author's taste - and Legge's version is so much clearer and easier to use! Legge's is a direct translation, with the I Ching translated in the short 64 chapters, and the Ten Wings as appendices. And straight away I could see that these appendices provide very valuable information, which clarifies a lot, especially for a beginner. For example, appendix 5, containing the 8th Wing, provides the most enlightening discourse on trigrams, allowing for the deeper and more intuitive understanding of the hexagrams which they come together to form. This is not trivial material. Yet, it is not included into this "translation" - for some arbitrary reason, which is never given. Furthermore, the author describes this Wing (8) as a "discussion of gua" (hexagrams) while it is not: it is a discussion if the 8 trigrams. But whether a discussion of the trigrams or the hexagrams, in either case it should have not been excluded, especially as the author himself states that "of all commentaries on the I Ching, the Ten Wings is the best." (sic)

The other Wings, likewise, cannot be found in this "complete translation" either. The author "followed the most popular traditional editions" (?) - which he rejects in the same text for either being incorrect translations, too anglicised, or for their neglect of the Ten Wings - by using only the first 5 Wings "considered to be the major commentaries to interpret the original text" (By whom? Neither Legge and Wilhelm, whom he himself names as the most authentic translations available, took such a liberty as to exclude any of the Wings so arbitrarily as does the author.), and the 9th Wing.

But even these few Wings the author "used" won't be found in the book: they've been chopped and moved about to distribute them between the original 64 chapters. This was done despite the Wings being composed beautifully intertwined and interrelated, making them best read as complete texts, and despite making the initially succinct 64 chapters of the I Ching into bulky, unmanageable, in my opinion poorly structured and confusing, monsters. In the beginning the author provides (also confusing) instructions on what parts of his version of the chapters to read when and under what conditions, which wouldn't have had to be done had he left the original structure alone.

I have now read the 5th Wing - which is an amazing text to read AS A COMPLETE TEXT, not dispersed around 64 chapters - and am now reading the 6th Wing. These are the most enlightening ancient texts, and for someone like me, who is well read in Buddhist and Taoist texts already, these are beautiful, complete works, and there's absolutely no need to chop and scatter them.

I was so confused by the absence of the Wings, which the author excluded despite stating they are most important, while copying and dispersing some around the book and leaving out the others. I couldn't really make sense of the hexagrams without understanding the trigrams - and there's no information on the individual trigrams in this book with the most vital information of the 8th Wing completely missing. WHY?

The names which don't seem to be in the original I Ching are often not the best match to the interpretation. The Chinese names of hexagrams (and trigrams) have been unnecessarily changed (Anglicised? Though if it's anglicisation, it seems rather arbitrary. Some seem to be changed.), making them out of "sync" with the traditional translations - the ACTUAL translations. Again, why? So far as I can make out, the author has no linguistic background. Whence the decision to change the hexagrams names from those in the translations the author himself deems the most authentic?

This is not a full or complete version to use, and it is confusing if not misleading, especially if you are new to I Ching, in which case you will definitely benefit from reading this magnificent treatise as a full, complete translation - but of course that won't make much sense unless you are well read in similar literature and writings already - that's when Legge's work gets negative reviews. This is a popular version - and not a very good one. And this SHOULD MOST DEFINITELY NOT BE USED AS AN AUTHORITATIVE VERSION. If you're an experienced I Ching user and you know what you're doing, know the material and aren't easily misled as to the nature and content of it, you may benefit from this version - "may" being the key word because I don't think it will give you anything new apart from a few shortcuts it gives at the end of chapters (to opposite gua, inverse gua, mutual gua, etc.) which I'm sure you can work out yourself if you know what you're doing. Plus, because I found errors in the symbols of the gua, I wouldn't actually rely on those end-chapter supplements.

Needless to say I'm going to return my copy.

This is my first I Ching and after doing some research, I believe this to be the most authentic translation. The introduction and guide on how to consult and read the I Ching makes this a perfect edition for beginners also. I performed my fist oracle a few days ago and still cannot believe how accurate the reading of my situation was - lost for words.

Take your time with it. Learn it's history. And then consult it like the wisest force in the universe.

An important book. I've been interested in the I Ching for quite some time, but most books on the subject give very limited access to the contents. This book not only offers accessible translations, but also makes my other translations much more useful, by giving a coherent account of how the history and culture surrounding the I Ching relate to human life. Mr Huang's other books on the subject are also highly recommended.
