Not Just Black or White: Yinyang Wisdom in 64 Yijing Symbols

Not Just Black or White: Yinyang Wisdom in 64 Yijing Symbols is a fresh and accessible guide that reintroduces one of the world’s oldest philosophical systems to a modern, global readership.

Author Adele Wong distills yinyang philosophy and the Yijing (I Ching), or Book of Changes, into clear, contemporary language, presenting the 64 Yijing hexagrams as a contemplative framework for understanding change, balance and the interplay of opposites in everyday life.

Rather than treating yinyang as a fixed binary of good and bad or light and dark, Wong reveals it as a dynamic, ever-shifting relationship — a lens for navigating relationships, work, wellness and decision-making with greater clarity and calm.

Blending cultural history, philosophy and design, the book pairs approachable explanations with a clean, modern visual treatment, making an often-intimidating subject inviting to newcomers while offering fresh perspective to longtime students of the Yijing.
