For your questionsMore relevant than Google itself!The most important book in world literature. (C.G. Jung)

~3000 BC — 🐢 The Turtle of the Lo River
The first Book of Changes is said to be a giant turtle that emerged from the Lo River, bearing on its shell spots forming a magic square — the numbers 1 to 9 arranged so their sum was always 15.

~2800 BC — 伏羲 Fuxi Creates the Eight Trigrams
The mythical sovereign Fuxi ordered the world according to eight principles: Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Mountain, Water, Fire, Lake, and Wind. Each trigram results from another by changing a single line — knowledge of these transformations allows one to foresee the future.

~1150 BC — ♕ King Wen Creates the 64 Hexagrams
Imprisoned by the tyrant Chou Hsin in 1143 BC, King Wen combined trigrams in pairs to create a more elaborate system of 64 hexagrams. His son Wu and brother the Duke of Zhou completed the work by writing commentaries on the lines.

~500 BC — 孔子 Confucius Writes the “Ten Wings”
Fascinated by the Book of Changes, Confucius wrote the Ten Wings — commentaries connecting I Ching principles to all of ancient Chinese philosophy. He studied the book so intensely that he wore out the leather straps binding his bamboo tablets three times.

~1690 — 🌎 The West Discovers the Yi King
Jesuits residing in Beijing introduced the Yi King to Europe. The philosopher Leibniz found in the binary system of yin and yang the same principles as his numbering system using 0 and 1.

1882–1885 — 📖 The First Scholarly Translations
James Legge published the first English translation (1882). Paul-Louis-Félix Philastre produced the first French translation (1885).

1924 — 📕 Richard Wilhelm Reveals the Yi King to the West
Wilhelm's German translation, by the Protestant missionary and friend of Jung, truly revealed the Yi King to Western audiences. Jung wrote the preface in 1951. Brecht, Hesse, John Cage marveled at it. The American counterculture of the sixties embraced it.

1999 — 💻 Birth of Virtual I-Ching

2026 — ⚡ Version vMING — The Oracle Reinvented
Certified quantum casting (QRNG), MING AI artificial intelligence, 3D animation, 13 languages, PDF export. The I Ching enters the quantum era.

The original method used 50 yarrow stalks — a long and complex ritual reserved for initiates. During the Ming Dynasty, a quiet revolution: three coins replaced the stalks. Simpler. More accessible. The I Ching became the people's oracle.

It is in tribute to this democratization that we named this version vMING.

Each coin has two sides: Yin (2 points) and Yang (3 points). Three tosses yield a sum between 6 and 9, determining the line type:

Six lines. One hexagram. Your answer.

Marie-Noëlle Doublet — Doctor of Anthropology (PhD) — Éditions Eyrolles, 2007

Author of “Mieux vivre avec le Yi King” (Éditions Eyrolles, 2007), Marie-Noëlle Doublet offers an accessible, popular version of the I Ching focused on personal development and daily introspection.

Her interpretation is one of four translations available in Virtual I-Ching — alongside the classic texts of Richard Wilhelm (1923), James Legge (1882), and Paul-Louis-Félix Philastre (1885).

Four perspectives on the same oracle — from personal development to sinological erudition, choose the voice that resonates with you.

Paul-Louis-Félix Philastre (1837–1902) — French naval officer and colonial administrator in Indochina, self-taught sinologist. He learned Classical Chinese in the field and devoted years to studying the Yi King.

His translation (Le Yi King, 1885) is the first complete French translation, made directly from Classical Chinese. Remarkably erudite, it includes the commentary of Tchéng Tse (11th century) and remains an essential reference for Francophones.

James Legge (1815–1897) — Scottish sinologist, first professor of Chinese at Oxford University. He translated all the Confucian Chinese classics in the famous Sacred Books of the East collection (50 volumes).

His translation of the Yi King (The I Ching, 1882) remains the English-language academic reference. Rigorously faithful to the Chinese text, it prioritizes philological precision over free interpretation.

Richard Wilhelm (1873–1930) — German sinologist and missionary who lived 25 years in China, studying under Master Lao Nai-Hsüan. His translation of the Yi King (I Ging — Das Buch der Wandlungen, 1924) is considered the most influential of the 20th century.

Carl Gustav Jung wrote the preface to the English translation (1950), calling the work “a great work of the human spirit.” Wilhelm's approach combines sinological rigor with psychological depth.

Sixty-four hexagrams. Six stacked lines — solid or broken — forming a mirror of your present situation. The oracle does not predict a fixed future. It illuminates the moment and its possible transformations.

In ancient China, emperors made no important decision without consulting the I Ching. Generals consulted it before battle. Sages used it to understand the flow of change — the Tao.

The oracle demands one thing: sincerity. A fresh mind, free of prejudice, ready to receive what comes. And to understand the meaning if you are not a scholar, MING AI will interpret for you according to your chosen translation.
