{"product_id":"a-companion-to-yi-jing-bent-nielsen-9780700716081","title":"A Companion to Yi jing Numerology and Cosmology","description":"Translations of the \u003cem\u003eYi jing\u003c\/em\u003e into western languages have been biased towards the \u003cem\u003eyili\u003c\/em\u003e ('meaning and pattern') tradition, whereas studies of the \u003cem\u003exiangshu\u003c\/em\u003e ('image and number') tradition - which takes as its point of departure the imagery and numerology associated with divination and its hexagrams, trigrams, lines, and related charts and diagrams - has remained relatively unexplored. This major new reference work is organised as a Chinese-English encyclopedia, arranged alphabetically according to the \u003cem\u003epinyin\u003c\/em\u003e romanisation, with Chinese characters appended. A character index as well as an English index is included. The entries are of two kinds: technical terms and various other concepts related to the 'image and number' tradition, and bio-bibliographical information on Chinese \u003cem\u003eYi jing\u003c\/em\u003e scholars. Each entry in the former category has a brief explanation that includes references to the origins of the term, cross-references, and a reference to an entry giving a more comprehensive treatment of the subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bent Nielsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0700716084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780700716081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.68h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Bent Nielsen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45898201759999,"sku":"9780700716081","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb2dd281-53e1-48d8-b6f7-cbca673bf8cf.jpg?v=1721375746","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-companion-to-yi-jing-bent-nielsen-9780700716081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
