Complete Collection of the Three Fates Convention [Translation and Annotations]

As the culmination of traditional Chinese metaphysical arts, The Comprehensive Mirror of the Three Fates systematically establishes a system for interpreting space and time centered on the sexagenary calendar. However, the original text is written in obscure classical language and contains profound, difficult ideas, often putting modern readers off.

The author has painstakingly translated and annotated this book. Faithful to the spirit of the original, the author provides a meticulous translation into plain language and extensive commentary. Setting aside its elaborate superstitious elements, the author instead takes a rigorous, scholarly approach to tracing the historical development and logical framework of destiny studies, restoring it as an ancient philosophy that explores the laws governing humanity and nature.

Written in accessible, fluent language, the book preserves the original flavor of the classic while making it far easier to read. Whether you are a fan of traditional Chinese studies or a reader researching traditional calendars and humanistic thought, you will find fresh inspiration and insight within.
