"And Цзин", or "Book of Changes", - one of the eldest systems of fortunetelling in the world. In a present kind her age counts three thousand years, but even then she was old, based on more primitive oracles. She was saved by unchanging during centuries, as scientific people in all epochs highly valued her as a source of deep wisdom and valuable advices and as a helper in mundane businesses. Her elusive magic attracted attention the greatest thinkers - from Confucius setting forth fundamental principles of traditional Chinese society, to Carl Gustavus Юнга.Basis "And Цзин" are made by 64 figures named hexagrams, are all possible combinations of six irregular and continuous lines. All phenomena arise up as a result of co-operation of positive, creative, brave forces of ян and negative, passive, womanlike forces инь.Every hexagram accompanied by a few texts. The first text "Judgement" is considered the eldest. He was made by Вэнь-ван, future founder of dynasty Чжоу, since put him in prison Чжоу Синь, last ruler of dynasty Шан. The second text, "Comment", is one of the posterior interpretations added to Confucius, his authorship is improbable although. Text "Character" is another конфуцианский comment called to explain how a reasonable man that follows advices "And Цзин" (usually named a great or noble man) must operate in corresponding time. The last group of texts, describing each of six lines of hexagram, is made У-ваном, by a son Вэнь-вана, overturning a dynasty Шан in 1029 to and. э. These short and often enigmatic comments are written approximately on forty years later than text of Вэнь-вана.
