Thank you, @"guohua" !

Cheers

You're Welcome.
Are you reading this book or taking a class in Traditional Chinese Culture and Sciences?
Or for enjoyment and an insight into Life and Astrology and Confucius?  
Just curious.

Hi @"guohua" 

On occasion I "toss the yarrow stalks" to see what the I Ching "has to say" about a given situation.

Have to say the last time I used it, it was quite accurate in that my planned action would neither result in anything very bad, but would not be a great outcome, either.  And that is pretty much how it was worked out.

Also just read bits of it from time to time.

As far as its use as an "oracle", I think the greatest value is that the applying the "answer" one receives forces one to think about a situation from multiple angles -- angles that one might not normally consider.  It sort of encourages the reader to expand their perception and view the situation with a broader perspective.

Cheers!

That is a very accurate statement, that is one reason the highest learning institutions in China has the I Ching as required reading, and these student all speak Mandarin Chinese and mostly Traditional Mandarin. 
Larger more complicated language of Mandarin with more Characters.

If America wanted more stable young people they should require the Reading of I Ching in their Colleges and Universities.
