{"product_id":"chinese-occultism-paul-carus-9781461190417","title":"Chinese Occultism","description":"Carus discusses the I Ching and other methods of divination, the five Chinese elements (water, fire, wood, metal and earth); the Chinese Zodiac, Fung-shui, the Lo-pan, the Chinese invention of the magnetic compass, and the personification of constellations. He gives ancient near eastern parallels, and proposes a speculative diffusionist thesis for some aspects, particularly the calendrical system. This essay serves as a good introduction to these topics, with numerous illustrations and tables to fill in the details.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Carus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 146119041X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781461190417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.99w x 0.13d","brand":"Paul Carus","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44066411839743,"sku":"9781461190417","price":9.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6f0313f-dae1-4729-af32-082d251bd433.jpg?v=1685407113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chinese-occultism-paul-carus-9781461190417","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
