Clues to this are found in the earliest form of the ideograms for 'I', which represented the moon, and was also used to denote a lizard, probably a chamaeleon.
The changes in the weather are not predictable like the phases of the moon: they may bring good fortune or the calamity of floods or drought; they will certainly have a direct, significant impact on people's lives.
It is hard for us, living lives governed by the clock and more-or-less protected from the daily shifts in the weather, to appreciate the full symbolism of the early ideogram, but we are more than ever in need of a way to understand our present and gain insight into the future.

An opposing tendency is to study the formal, semiotic nature of the classic; this school is identified as "xiangshu" (image-and-number) analysis.

In this way, one might suspect that the overall pattern of the classic might be roughly "pyramidal," or that the "shape" of the text as a whole is more or less "triangular." We will see various implications of this design feature as the analysis progresses.

Course description: Over the past two millennia or so, the Yijing (I Ching; Classic of Changes) has been, with the notable exception of the Bible, the most widely read and extensively commented upon book in all of world literature.
Having emerged in China about three thousand years ago as an occult prognostication text, the Yijing eventually attained the status of a "classic" in 136 B.C.E. Over the next several hundred years its influence gradually spread to other areas within the Chinese cultural orbit in East Asia--notably Japan, Korea, Annam (Vietnam) and Tibet.
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Jesuit missionaries brought knowledge of the classic to the West; and today there are dozens of different translations of the Changes in various European languages.

Cyrille Javary shows that the seemingly random act of "throwing the I Ching" is, in fact, a tool for skillfully revealing the qualities of the present moment-the patterns of energy and relationship, the great and subtle underlying themes, the hidden and apparent imperatives for action.
Mention should also be made of artists, such as the composer John Cage, or the choreographers Merce Cunningham and Carolyn Carlson, who have based many of their works on the ideas of change and chance events that they discovered in the Yi Jing.
