Its influence in China's peripheral tribal areas, however, remains largely unknown.

In pre-modern Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and the Ryukyu (Liuqiu) Kingdom, the Yijing was warmly received, and its interpretation and application were adapted to local traditions ( Ng 2017a Ng 2017b Ng 2003, 1вЂ“12 Ng 2000a Ng 2000b, 53вЂ“68 Smith 2012, 129вЂ“168). Some related ideas, such as wuxing дє”иЎЊ (five agents), cannot be found in the original Yijing text, but were added to Yijing scholarship following the Han period, and were also influential in the Sinosphere. The philosophy presented in the Yijing ж“з¶“ (also called the Zhouyi е‘Ёж“, Classic of Changes) and its use in divination are an integral part of Chinese culture, as well as that of the rest of East Asia. It will break new ground in the comparative study of the Yijing in Asia and in China-Tibet studies. This article reveals that the historical reception of the Yijing in Tibet was a process of assimilating Chinese knowledge into Tibetan culture and religion. Assimilating Chinese knowledge into non-Sinitic tribal cultures is a complex process of cross-cultural encounter. Based primarily on Chinese and Tibetan primary sources, this study will provide an historical overview of the impact of the Yijing in Tibet and discuss the role of the Yijing and its related ideas and symbols in the making of Tibetan culture. This is the first academic study of the Yijing in Tibetan history.

The Yijing ж“з¶“ (Classic of Changes) and its related theories (such as yinyang wuxing й™°й™Ѕдє”иЎЊ, the two primal forces and five agents), practices (such as divination), and symbols (such as the eight trigrams and taiji е¤ЄжҐµ) can be found in different walks of cultural and religious life in Tibet. Tibet has had a long history of cultural interaction with China and some Chinese elements were incorporated into the Tibetan cultural system.
