About Yiking

Yiking is a quiet, offline-friendly oracle built around the 易經 — the Book of Changes. It is bilingual (English / French), static, and free. Once the pages have loaded once, the whole book is available offline.

The corpus is the canonical 64 hexagrams in King Wen order, presented with Richard Wilhelm's classical reading (1923, German). The English text is Cary F. Baynes's translation of Wilhelm; the French is Étienne Perrot's adaptation of the same source.
