Tian

Chinese tradition

• Tian appears in Chinese tradition.

  Wilhelm’s Yijing attests Heaven (Qián / Tian) as sky, order, and moral overhead in the Classic of Changes. Chinese cosmological speech, not every sky-father and not Christian Heaven.

  from Richard Wilhelm / Cary F. Baynes (translation) · I Ching (Yijing), Wilhelm 1924; Baynes English 1950
