55 An Investigation of I Ching Thought in the Qin Dynasty Zhang Tao Abstract The development of I Ching thought in the Qin Dynasty was greatly aided by the patronage of Emperor Qin Shihuang. When Qin Shihuang unified China and marked his new dynasty with a burning of all previous books and records, the I Ching was one of the few works that was spared. This was due not only to the fact that sorcery, divination and other esoteric practices were very popular in the Qin region, but also that the world view and mode of thought expressed in the I Ching were in line with his character and political needs. Indeed, many of the social and political measures and policies of the Qin Dynasty find their basis in the thinking of the I Ching. In the climate that prevailed after the book burnings and live burial of scholars initiated by Qin Shihuang, many schools took up the I Ching as a protective amulet, using the language of the I Ching to express their own ideas. In this manner, the I Ching became a prominent subject of study, and in turn gave rise to a variety of new schools that took the I Ching as their core philosophy. Key Words: Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang, I Ching, Li Si
