The \u003ci\u003eYijing\u003c\/i\u003e first appeared as a divination text in Zhou-dynasty China (ca. 1045-256 bce) and later became a work of cosmology, philosophy, and political theory as commentators supplied it with new meanings. While many English translations of the \u003ci\u003eYijing\u003c\/i\u003e itself exist, none are paired with a historical commentary as thorough and methodical as that written by the Confucian scholar Cheng Yi, who turned the original text into a coherent work of political theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cheng Yi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300218079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300218077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.50w x 1.50d","brand":"Cheng Yi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064820445439,"sku":"9780300218077","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_83f1cf98-b6ab-43de-a5d3-afe5c70da387.jpg?v=1768671248","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-yi-river-commentary-on-cheng-yi-9780300218077","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
