The little boy isn’t in the least afraid of making mistakes. An eraser works wonders. **2 and 3 Using a rake and a stick, he draws geometric shapes in the Portuguese sand. How long will they last? The sea gives, the sea takes away.* **4 The old man in China comes to the park on every odd day of the week. After just a few minutes, the sun causes his characters, painted with water, to fade*. **5 Lines on paper aren’t set in stone. After all, there’s an eraser at the back of the pencil*. There are three types of treatises on the **I Ching:* 1\. direct translations from Chinese 2\. commentaries on these 3\. stories and images loosely inspired by the **Book of Changes*. ****The** ****Sketchbook of Changes** belongs to this last category. 🌏 The photograph that appears at the start of every post in ****The Sketchbook of Changes,** features one of the five stamps: ![](https://www.8ismeerdan1000.com/content/images/2026/08/dalfsen-2-6-1-1-1-1.png) sketch of changes in the river valley around Dalfsen .. ![](https://www.8ismeerdan1000.com/content/images/2026/08/nazar---2-1-1-1.png) sketch of change along the coast near Nazaré … ![](https://www.8ismeerdan1000.com/content/images/2026/08/huis-3-1-1.png) sketch of changes indoors: 'The Kleine Museum' ... ![](https://www.8ismeerdan1000.com/content/images/2026/08/tekening-3-1.png) a sketch of the mind, awake and asleep … ![](https://www.8ismeerdan1000.com/content/images/2026/08/karakter-3-1-1.png) on The Book of Changes 💡 ****RESOURCES** A text as ancient as the **I Ching* is not easy to understand. It helps to compare several translations and commentaries side by side. In the overview below, I refer to the sometimes differing chapter titles used by the various authors. ****AH** \= ****Alfred Huang** wrote ***The Complete I Ching**, an original translation from Chinese into English. A classic and extremely readable work. ****RW** \= ****Richard Wilhelm** lived in China as a missionary in the early 20th century. He translated the ***I Tjing** into German. For a long time, this was regarded as the most authoritative translation in the West. ****JB** \= ****Jack Balkin** wrote ***The Laws of Change** *.* A book with the clarity of a legal scholar, which he in fact is. ****JJ** \= ****Julie Tallard Johnson** *wrote the* ***I Ching for Teens** *. Unconventional, original, and not only for teens.* ****DM** \= ****Deng Ming-Dao** wrote ***The Living I Ching** *. Excellent structure and poetic.* ****RR** \= ****Richard Rutt** wrote ***Zhouyi** with the subtitle **Translation with Commentary of the Book of Changes.* Indispensable historical perspective. ****SD** \= ****Sarah Denig** wrote ***The Everyday I Ching** *.* The influence of Carl Gustav Jung, who wrote the introduction to Richard Wilhelm’s *I Ching,* shines through. --- **introduction.
