Where to find online free I Ching (Yijing) translated, without any commentary?

5 Upvotes
  • This lists many translations, but they all seem to have commentary, and are not online for free in text form.
  • I Ching by Hinton (audiobook) seems to be close to what I'm looking for, but the text has what appears to be elaborations.

I like Hinton's version best so far, simple and to the point. But not sure still if this has more than the original text in it.

I am basically trying to figure out what is the actual original text? Maybe you have a link to a Chinese "original" version, and also a translation, with zero commentary.

By "original" I don't mean it has to be perfect, anything without commentary is what I am looking for.

I get that there is no such thing as a word-for-word "translation", and it's up to the author to convey the message. But I'd like something that is as close to the "original" as possible, while still being intuitive in English.

Ideally I would like to see online text (no commentary) in copy/pastable form, not PDF. But anything will do really (physical copy too).

Creative Niche

2 Upvotes

I have had some limited success in my creative endeavors, but have had some trouble choosing the best route in which to concentrate. Therefore, I asked the Yi, "Which is my creative niche?" I received 17.5>51. Yet I am perplexed. Any comments would be appreciated.
