About L-KinhDich
L-KinhDich is a space for three-coin casting and exploring the 64 I Ching hexagrams. Its Vietnamese and English commentary is written for general readers, with original paraphrases and questions for reflection. It is not a scholarly translation or a validated prediction system.
Sources and editorial approach
- Zhouyi · classical Chinese text
The hexagram images, statements and six lines are checked against each classical chapter. Each detail page links to that chapter. The ancient text is public domain; modern editorial additions on source websites may have separate terms.
- James Legge · The Yî King (1882)
Sacred Books of the East, Volume XVI, Oxford: Clarendon Press. A reference for the text and its terminology. The Wikisource HTML transcription is incomplete in places and is not treated as a complete edition. L-KinhDich's commentary is not a verbatim quotation of Legge.
Concise paraphrases cannot capture every reading of an ancient text. Images involving war, marriage or social hierarchy are treated in historical context, not as rules for contemporary life. Modern copyrighted translations are not copied.
