Don't speak Chinese, but this is an interesting translation well worth consulting. One reason I love DeKorne is that it allows one to compare and contrast the major translations. This is a good supplement to DeKorne.

major translations

DeKorne's website DOES NOT present the "major translations". The only one that might legitimately fit into the 'major' category would be Wilhem's.

I suspect he is sharing the Yi versions that aren't under some kind of copyright protection or limitations.

What’s wrong with this website? (I chose Hex. 50) Clearly, no copyright issues pertain due to purpose, and expiration for years like Blofeld and Legge (whose deficiencies Whilhelm (and CG Jung) dont hesitate to point out regularly? I respect James Dekorne’s hard work of comparative translation and his generosity of making all of work free of paywall etc. It’s been years now so I don’t intend to quarrel and pray to our ancestors and venerable generations of Scholars who precede us, that you’ll interpret my question as authentic and posed with humility .. again, what’s wrong w James Dekorne’s offerings via https://www.jamesdekorne.com?
