The I Ching is the oldest book in the world. The major part of it is attributed to Wen Wang from the 12th century B.C., a sage and founder of the Chou Dynasty. But its origins are lost in the mythical past 6000 years ago. Undoubtedly the I Ching is one of the most important books in world literature. It contains the wisdom of the millennia, which is still valid for many today. It is thus no wonder that the two main branches of Chinese philosophy, Confucianism and Taoism, have their common roots here. The whole of Chinese life is deeply pervaded, right down into everyday life, by the influence of the I Ching.
