Hwang Jeong-won: I Ching analysis

Professor Hwang Jeong-won, well-known for his accessible and clear lectures and writings on the classics, has published *Juyeok Gwanhae* (Commentary on the Book of Changes), based on over 50 years of research into the *Book of Changes*, making it easily accessible to the general public. Revered by Confucius and captivated by Einstein, the *Book of Changes* is a philosophical text that serves as the origin of divination for human destiny and the foundation of Confucian thought; it has been recognized for 3,000 years as a supreme classic transcending both East and West. However, due to its vastness and complexity, it was also famous as a difficult book to read. In response, Professor Hwang has omitted complex and difficult explanations, selecting and including only the divination phrases necessary for actual divination and their brief interpretations. While existing translations and commentaries on the *I Ching* have focused primarily on the principles of the I Ching and cosmological philosophy, making them difficult for general readers to approach, this book effectively preserves the original nature of the *I Ching* as a text of divination, enabling anyone to utilize it for actual divination. By systematically and balancedly organizing the original Chinese text, Korean translations, interpretations by ancient thinkers including Confucius, and commentary by the author and modern scholars of the I Ching, this book will serve as an excellent guide for beginners.
