  4. Western Origins of Yijing?

    Herbert Giles (as in ‘Wade-Giles’ romanisation), he thought 西王母 Xiwangmu was copied from the Greek/Roman Goddess Hera/Juno. E.g. he analyses some characters to support this view ( ADVERSARIA SINICA, e.g. pg. 14 onwards)

  6. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    No, I just looked at the intro, and a bit of the beginning. It’s all a bit outside my knowledge area. I was hoping someone else would comment. Looking forward to your analysis. I remember Awaken claiming Xia China was in the Nile delta. There’s a Dutch guy (van Praag) suggesting Daoism was started by teachings from Jews living in China. I really don’t have the knowedge to comment, but feel rather sceptical.
