Stephen Field gives us a wonderfull translation of this old Chinese text. It seems to me, that he always find the right words to express the depth behind the Chinese signs.It is a small book. But in the foreword and the footnotes the reader can find a surprise amount of information about the old believes, the deities and the sages of China.This book is a gem.
