"I Ching" ("Book of Changes") is one of the oldest books of Chinese civilization and, perhaps, one of the most famous. Its foundation consists of 64 hexagrams, special symbols designed to outline certain life situations and reveal their further development to the inquirer. However, the meaning and significance of the "Book of Changes" go far beyond being a mere "fortune teller." With its wisdom, the "I Ching" has inspired many generations of philosophers, writers, and other people trying to find answers to fundamental life questions and lift the veil over the mystery of existence. The influence of the "I Ching" on world culture is hard to overestimate, not in vain did Carl Jung, who wrote a detailed commentary to the English edition, call it the wisest of all books. This edition includes the classic translation of the "Book of Changes" by Julian Konstantinovich Shchutsky with detailed notes, as well as a rare text, created, like many others, under the strong influence of the "I Ching" — a Daoist treatise of the 11th century on achieving immortality titled "Chapters on the Perception of Truth" translated by Evgeny Alekseevich Torchinnov.
