The weather in London is dull and cool this weekend. Good reading weather. I came across this wonderful British Chinese website which has a couple of dozen renditions of traditional Chinese myths or stories. They are simply told, but enjoyable. Just the thing to sit down to for a break between chores with a pot of tea.
These are a good opening to the stories and myths which would have been circulating in the minds of the early Chinese when they read the Yijing. In this way they would have had a strong influence on how they perceived the brief lines of the Yi. I will give an example of this in the next blog.
