What is the I Ching?

The Funeral of the Real » I Ching and the Logos

Here’s an unusual I Ching reading, interpreted with great creative insight from an unfamiliar perspective. The question is “What is the I Ching?”, the answer Hexagram 44 moving at lines 3 and 4 to Hexagram 20. So Joe Chip notices that the trigram for wind or wood is in both hexagrams – first inside heaven, then above the earth, and

“interpreted this as meaning that the I Ching is the wind that blows between heaven and earth, and is created by heaven and received by earth. It could also be the tree between heaven and earth, evoking the tree of life, or axis mundi.”

And his response to Cary Baynes’ ‘fish in the tank’ is remarkable, too.
