New Book of Chinese Divination Doorway to "the Future of the Future and the Past of the Past"
Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) February 13, 2008 -- Reading Taichi: Book of Chinese Divination is Marion Tzui Yang's companion guide to her previous translation, Poetry in Divination. Intended for divination using the nine-card method of Taichi, Yang's interpretation of this methodology surveys the 125 possible combinations of five elements--metal, fire, earth, wood, and water--and the meanings behind their trigram combinations.
In this "systematic game play of both mathematics and metaphysics," Yang clearly explains how the poetic value of the readings adds to their divining power. Reading Taichi exemplifies the author's expertise as a poet, writer, and translator; and its origin boasts a dual nature just as Taichi itself does: Yang's mother, a Buddhist and Taoist storyteller and spiritualist, and her father, a city planning engineer, combined resources to make a scientific study of Taichi, The Sun, the Moon, and the Trigrams, translated by Yang and published in 1998.
Reading Taichi is a groundbreaking translation and interpretation of literary as well as mystical value. The poems on which it is based stand alone with Arthur Waley's "sprung rhythm" and Ezra Pound's artistic invention on Chinese poetry, making it a vital addition to any truly great library.

Reading Taichi: Book of Chinese Divination is available for sale online at Amazon.com, BookSurge.com, and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.
