I don't value Alfred Huang's books greatly. His history in his translation of the Yi is unreliable and there are clumsy errors. For instance, in hexagram 35 he is aware that it is the Marquis of Kang who is receiving horses, yet in his commentary he writes that it is King Wen receiving the horses. I particularly don't like the way he has taken the traditional history and attempted to make it sound like it is referred to throughout the Yi without offering any evidence but merely stating that this is so. This is the poorest thing about his work, and he departs from the degree to which traditional Yijing scholars have ever been willing to link the conquest to the hexagrams. That he does this without evidence and simply on his sayso is pretty poor. (The Mandate of Heaven deals with the evidence to link the Yijing with its traditional foundation in the conquest of the Shang, offering a completely different picture of what actually happened.)
