I Ching has existed and been known through observation of changes in the natural world. The world started at primeval chaos state, then binary state, which further develop into variations of states that we call changes. The original 8 hexagrams reflect 8 variations. As time pass by, the wisdom of I Ching has been studied by King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty (Zhou Wen Wang). Zhou Wen Wang formed the combinations of the 64 hexagrams for divination. This became the “Book of Change” that is most popularly associated with I Ching. However, this is just one of the many ways I Ching is used. Other scholars such as Confucius also derived their views from the practice. Confucius studied the I Ching and offer his insights in the “Ten Wings”. Embodying the way with nature, these predecessors became part of the lineage in passing the torch of wisdom.

The Ancient Xian Tian I Ching is a derivative from a cosmic view. Ancient emperors, scholars, educators, and philosophers practiced the I Ching in search of alignment with nature and to create abundance. Emperors or leaders can use the wisdom of the I Ching to create prosperity. Scholars and teachers can use the I Ching to educate. Philosophers can use the I Ching for social reforms. I Ching has endless possibilities for application.
