Reviews

Stalk Divination has accomplished the goal of introducing an important text to an Anglophone audience. With a comprehensive glossary, a detailed chart of the Shifa trigrams and their correlations, a supplementary table of correlations compared to the Zhouyi hexagrams, extensive notes, and a bibliography, Stalk Divination is a useful resource for anyone interested in the study of Chinese divination methods in pre-imperial times. * David Chan, Reading Religion *
