Daoism and Chinese thought

The Yijing combines a Zhou-dynasty divination manual of sixty-four hexagrams, figures of six broken and unbroken lines, with later commentaries, the Ten Wings, traditionally attributed to Confucius. It became a classic of both Confucian and Daoist thought, read as a map of cosmic change.
