The I Ching is a classic of the Chinese literature.
Its "hexagrams" are used both for fortune-telling and for insight into an archaic philosophical world.
- The Oracle can be consulted either with the coins or the yarrow-stalk method, using an animated interface.
- Oracle answers can be stored in a database. Afterwards they can be searched and analyzed by using different tools.
- Guidance for interpreting the Oracle answers is provided, to let users know which parts of the received hexagram\s have to be read.
- The hexagrams texts include both the Wilhem-Baynes translation plus a pragmatic interpretation targeted to diary life.
- The interface is fully configurable and allows easy navigation using hyperlinks, and reading of the texts.
- A Chinese text pane, with a literal word by word translation of the Book of Changes, can be opened, side to side to the Wilhelm translation. This feature is very handy or the serious I Ching aficionado, since only in that way one can apprehend the whole range of meanings or the Oracle answers.
