Review
“A careful comparison of Huang’s translation with the Wilhelm, Legge, and Blofeld versions reveals its superiority in nearly every respect.” (Intuition)“What is constant through this translation is both a sense of tradition and an appreciation of modernity. . . . [It is] a more useful I Ching than older, more self-conscious translations.” (The Book Reader)“This translation, from a Taoist Master, is the most extensive treatment of the subject I have ever encountered. . . . the quality of the work is so exceptional that it is hard to find fault with it. . . . if you wish to learn this system, this book will be an indispensable aid to your education. There is such a wealth of information contained in this book (each page contains the hexagram being discussed and the ideograph of the name, so there is no confusion) that it is hard to overstate the usefulness of this work. . . . This it is of use and benefit for both the novice and the more experienced user.” (Mike Gleason, Witchgrove, March 2007)"Huang succeeds, also, in producing a work that keeps opening up new vistas of understanding and inviting the reader to explore the many layers of discovery offered by the mathematical, visual and literary dimensions of the classic."

From the Back Cover
EASTERN PHILOSOPHY “What is constant through this translation is both a sense of tradition and an appreciation of modernity. . . . [It is] a more useful I Ching than older, more self-conscious translations.” --The Book Reader “A careful comparison of Huang’s translation with the Wilhelm, Legge, and Blofeld versions reveals its superiority in nearly every respect.” --Intuition For more than three thousand years the I Ching has been the most important book of divination in the world. Revered by the Chinese as the Classic of Classics and consulted as a source of ancient wisdom, it has been embraced by the West in the last fifty years but has always been translated by Westerners who brought their own cultural biases to the work, distorting or misunderstanding its true meaning. In The Complete I Ching Master Alfred Huang has restored the true essence of the I Ching by emphasizing the unity of Heaven and humanity and the Tao of Change, and, even more important, by including translations of the Ten Wings, the commentaries by Confucius, that are essential to the I Ching’s insights. Previous English translations have either given these commentaries a minor place in the book or have left them out altogether. But the Chinese say that the I Ching needs the Ten Wings to fly. Restored to their central place in the book by Master Huang, the I Ching at last flies in English. Other features of this translation are a new emphasis on the intricate web of interrelations among the names and sequence of the sixty-four hexagrams, the preservation of the original poetic style, the introduction of several new methods of divination, and special information on the historical events out of which the I Ching was born. A third-generation master of Wu style Tai Chi Chuan, Chi Kung, and Oriental meditation, MASTER ALFRED HUANG is a professor of Taoist philosophy who studied the I Ching with some of China’s greatest minds--only to be imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution in 1966 and sentenced to death. For thirteen years in prison Master Huang meditated on the I Ching and found the strength to survive. Released in 1979 weighing only eighty pounds, he emigrated to the United States. Master Huang is the founder of New Harmony, a nonprofit organization devoted to teaching self-healing, and is the author of The Numerology of the I Ching and Complete Tai-Chi. He lives on the island of Maui.

I have been a student of the I Ching for 5 years now, and in that time I've seen good translations and bad translations. This is, without a doubt, the best I've found yet, and I doubt I'll ever find one better than this.For starters, Master Huang is very knowledgable. In addition to in-depth translations of each hexagram (gua) text, he includes translations of the hexagram (gua) names, the pictagrams used to describe them, as well as the translations of the hexagram names used in the Wilhelm and Blofeld translations. He gives in-depth information on each hexagram and their lines (yao), and true translations of their texts -- not just interpretations, as appear in many "translations".Also included are Confuscious' commentaries, "The Ten Wings". Well, 8 of the 10 Wings are included -- I don't know why the other 2 were left out.In a nutshell, Master Huang gives you all the information you could ask for on each of the hexagrams. Not only do you learn the message behind each hexagram and its lines, you also learn what the name means, what the pictagram represents, and how the lines define the message of the hexagram. He is also very respectful of the I Ching, and advises (very wisely I think) that those new to it only consult it for advice, and not for "What will happen if..." situations. Personally, I only use the I Ching for advice in difficult situations, though on rare occasions in the past have I asked for information concerning the outcome of a possible action.I have only 1 misgiving, and it is that in addition to the yarrow stalk and coin toss methods, Master Huang provides an additional, alternate way to cast the I Ching so that only one line can possibly be in a state of change. This is done with the reasoning that multiple lines in change sometimes contradict each other. However, I would argue that such is life -- sometimes things occur that have both good and bad effects, or sometimes you find yourself in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. I feel that artificially limiting the number of moving lines is not right.With that one misgiving aside, I recommend this translation and consider it to be, most likely, the best translation of the I Ching to date. If you only choose one translation, make it this one.
I came to understand the I Ching by way of a rich amalgam of factors that I could not have accomplished the goal without... And Alfred Huang's presentation of the I Ching has been the foremost influence in my ability to comprehend & access this incredibly vast system of sacred knowledge.I have a major math problem, & the I Ching was always held out from me. My gateways to learning the I Ching were:* Feng Shui...I accessed the I Ching through the side door of Feng Shui, which has its basis in the I Ching. When I grasped the environmental layout system of Feng Shui - I segued right into the I Ching.Richard Webster's introductory Feng Shui books were instrumental in getting my feet wet with the I Ching system. I also recommend "Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life" by Karen Rauch Carter. And a good compass.* "The Visual I Ching: A New Approach To The Ancient Chinese Oracle" - Cards & Commentary by Oliver Perottet.This book & card set helped me to visually understand the fundamental super-structure of the I Ching Oracle. Because you can see the system artistically represented across the 8 elements & 64 individual Hexagram cards, with apt descriptions of what each means. It puts the Hexagrams out there in pictorial terms, where you can see the over-arching, primary structure of the entire Oracle - all at once. It graphically shows you the way the I Ching is built. If all those lines aren't reaching you, this pictorial system will. I got the mathematical process of "changing lines" through my head in this book - & could proceed. Simple & concise for the novice. Experimenting with the cards according to the suggestions in the book has been a meaningful experience."The Complete I Ching: The Definitive Translation" by Alfred Huang.I have accumulated several versions of the I Ching now - & I always find this translation to be the most useful. When I use the Oracle, I consult this book first. This is my starting place. Wilhelm second. I found the ideas for means of divination Huang presents were extremely helpful. He showed me that we can be flexible & creative in accessing the Oracle. I developed a system of drawing stones as a result, & the Oracle has been fantastic, & unfailing, in its wisdom. I've had a colorful variety of helpers in learning the I Ching - but this book has been INDISPENSABLE. I couldn't have mastered it as well as I have, without the teachings of Alfred Huang.Make sure you pay special attention to all of the introductory material, before you get to the Upper Cannon. After this, review the glossary in the back. Read it, & re-read those first sections as many times as necessary - before you proceed. Huang suggests that you next read "Heaven" & "Earth" thoroughly, & I strongly suggest that you do. It is densely packed & essential material that will tell you how the I Ching is built, & how it works.Huang recommends you read & understand all of the Hexagram interpretations, before using the Oracle for divination. But I do it the opposite way. After gaining an understanding of the history & the fundamental structure of the Oracle itself, which Huang provides - I learned by doing, & I read as I go. After grasping the basics, I cast the Oracle - & THEN I consulted the meanings of the hexagrams - & gained an understanding of their interpretations, directly as they applied to the life situations I read about. And then the I Ching came alive. Incredible...* "The I Ching Pack" by Anthony Clark & Richard Gill, including "The Little Book That Tells The Truth".Forget the cards, they're nice art - it is THE BOOK that really is worth the cost of this set. If I find myself stymied, or have an objectivity issue with an I Ching reading - the interpretations in this book will succinctly clarify the matter & remove any obstacles in short order.* "The I Ching, Or Book Of Changes" by Wilhelm & Baynes.When consulting the I Ching, FIRST I closely consult the interpretations of Alfred Huang... Then after taking a look at Gill's "Little Book", I mull it over later in detail with Wilhelm... Huang pans much of this work - & I understand where he is coming from, & why. It is a western theosophical approach to the Oracle, from a completely different culture, time, & spiritual era. But with a firm understanding of the perspective from which Wilhelm wrote - & I don't mind consulting the book for the fine tuning concerning a reading. Huang speaks to my inner Monk, & I go there first... Wilhelm speaks to my inner Yankee. And as a westerner, sometimes this reaches me in ways & in a language that the other works can't.* The "Reiki Psychic Attunement" DVD, by Reiki Master Steve Murray.This Reiki Attunement initially inspired & jump-started my process of learning to understand & read the I Ching. It put me on this path in 2005. This Attunement is *fantastic* - & you will need no knowledge of Reiki to benefit from it. This was where The Door to the I Ching first was opened for me. I highly recommend this Attunement, it is a one of a kind spiritual experience.* My own Reiki & I Ching spirit guides... And past life experience.If you once "got" the I Ching 1000 years ago - no matter how thick headed you feel, I'm living proof that you can "get it" again today... :) In a far different land, language, culture, lifestyle, & era. Math problem & all.* Having a strong background in reading tarot didn't hurt either... Not a necessary requirement, but having experience with reading an oracle isn't a bad thing.Reading the tarot is like driving a nice Honda Tracker... Reading with the I Ching is like driving a mint Rolls Royce......... The I Ching is a HUGE, comprehensive, intricate, holy & sacred System - to understanding All That IS. It is as Simple, as it is incredibly complex - & as Complex, as it is amazingly simple! Tarot has been practical & useful, & it is an excellent system bearing a great deal of depth. But the I Ching is like a GIGANTIC Metaphysical Spiritual Institution, all unto itself. Built on what is essentially, Binary Code... You are NOT in Kansas anymore, Toto..... When you get there - you'll see what I mean. You'll feel like you're viewing The Innermost Workings of The Universe, from the inside - & you are... : D And once you immerse yourself in the understanding of the I Ching, you will treasure it always."The Complete I Ching: The Definitive Translation" by Alfred Huang comprises the cultural foundation of my understanding of the I Ching - augmented & supported by all of these other major helpers... Think of Huang's I Ching as the cornerstone to my understanding, & the rest of these items supportive bricks in the archway.
Becoming reacquainted with the I Ching is like discovering an oasis in a sunparched desert, is like entering the calm in the eye of a tumultuous storm.Many years ago I discovered the wisdom of letting go of control, but although I recognized the intellectual truth, I was unable to trust the universe enough to let go of control emotionally. Whew! Finally. Sometimes. With the help of the I Ching.I don't know if Huang's interpretation is best suited for me, but it works right now. I am comfortable with it. I like how he briefly mentions what other Masters have named the ideographs, and then explains what name he has selected and why.Of course, this is not a book to be read from cover to cover, but rather a text to be consulted as one yarrow stick at a time is consulted. (yarrow sticks not included with text)
