    An informative and a bit quirky Zhouyi translation
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 12, 2020*

I bought this book on the recommendation of my Yijing teacher, and I have not been disappointed.Rutt's translation is a bit quirky and different in places, but he bases it on solid research and knowledge, and I get the sense that he really appreciated (or even loved) the I Ching (or Yijng), and that it was not just an academic exercise for him.I really like that he provides the text of the Zhouyi by itself, and it's not mixed in with commentaries. But he does still include a translation of the Ten Wings, the later Confucian commentaries that were attached to the I Ching, but even these he provides without additionally interspersing more commentary.He provides a very good overview of ancient China at the the time of the Zhouyi (during the Zhou dynasty) and his translation includes lots of added info about the makeup and history of the I Ching.As I said, some people may find his translation odd or quirky at times - and my even object to it. For example, he has some 'different' names for some of the hexagrams, e.g. 'Dodder' for Hex. 4, and 'Keening' for Hex. 19' and he often presents the text in rhyme, (e.g. Hex. 64 "... the water yet, ... the tail-tip wet"). But I rather like these and find it fun - if sometimes challenging - to work with.I find it perfectly fine to work with for divination. It is an excellent work, though a bit pricey. And it may not be everyone's cup of tea, especially if they want a more 'accessible' or westernized version of the Yi.

    Interesting and intriguing...but VERY overpriced
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 13, 2020*

Out of all the various translations I've looked at for the I Ching, this one is perhaps the most interesting. It frames the I Ching in a more historical light rather than the typical divinational context we're used to seeing.Is it worth reading? Yes, absolutely! But...is it worth nearly $100? No, it is not. $75 is even too much. It's just way overpriced for a book like this. I understand a book like this doesn't sell many copies. I also understand the time and research that likely went into it. But there's also a reality when it comes to who can pay what for a book like this. I think a price point around $40 would be much better.

    I do not Trust the translation of an Ordained Catholic Priest...How could he possible be un-biased without being a hypocrite?
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 31, 2017*

I cannot for the life of me trust this translation or the so-called history....Reason?  It was done be a Catholic Priest.  How could this translator/author possibly give an un-biased translation when the doctrines of his chosen faith strictly, and with great prejudice forbids divination and the type of philosophy taught in this text?  He obviously doesn't believe in the text he is translating.  OK granted you could say he translated the text transliterally, but that would be quite difficult, if not impossible as there is no one alive that knows and understand the ancient Chinese it was written in.  The Chinese of those times was very metaphorical from my understanding.  Even native Chinese speakers have a great difficulty translating it and can only do so because they have a philosophical foundation in the metaphorical nature of the language at that time.  Master Huang states this many times in his translation of the I Ching.  He came to that understanding by studying under a Taoist master for many years.  Master Huang is also a believer in the text. If Mr. Rutt believes in the text then he is a hypocrite to his faith thus solidifying my distrust of this translation.
