About this item
The Integrative Framework of the Yi: A Cross-System Study of Chinese Metaphysics, edited and compiled by Xuanlin, is a 472-page Chinese-language digital book that examines the shared structures behind the Yi tradition, Chinese medicine, and classical Chinese metaphysical arts.
Beginning with yin and yang, the Five Phases, stems and branches, and the trigrams, the book moves into the foundations of Chinese medicine, acupuncture and formulas, Bazi, Liuyao, feng shui, physiognomy, and integrated case studies. Each field retains its own boundaries while being viewed through a common language of time, space, images, numbers, and transformation.
