학술 이력

Chen Xi is a Lecturer at the International I Ching Research Center. She earned her Ph.D. in Philosophy from National Taiwan University, where her doctoral research reconstructed the intellectual genealogy of Han dynasty image-number (xiangshu) Yijing learning.

Dr. Chen's expertise centers on the technical Yijing systems developed during the Han dynasty, particularly the hexagram-qi (guaqi) theory of Meng Xi and the sophisticated correlative cosmology of Jing Fang. Her research on the Yijing apocrypha (Yiwei) and related Han prognosticatory texts has provided new clarity on how early Chinese scholars understood the mechanics of changing lines and hexagram transformation.

At I Ching Wisdom, Dr. Chen authors articles on line interpretation, changing-line dynamics, and the structural logic that makes each of the 384 lines meaningful within its hexagram context.
