Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. First Edition. 8vo Yellow cloth w red titles on front cover. Light wear, pages are yellowed; a good sound binding. The jacket has some chips, tears and discoloring. Name inside. Ow VG/g+dj: 64pp; Translated and annotated by Charles L. Lee. The author Lee does not provide the title of the text he has here tsl but only says: "This book was written about 1300 years ago by two famous Chinese mathematicians and philosophers for the Emperor of China and contains a series of prophecies on the State and the Western World" Supposedly this text was looted in 1860 from the Imperial Palace in Beijing; it is presumably either the Ganyingpian [ganying= cosmic correspondences] or the Massage-Chart Prophecies (Tuibeitu) both of which are attributed to Li Chunfeng. He also says that "The original text, which was actually popularized in Ming times [Ganyingpian?] , has been reinterpreted in every age to align with contemporary events, much like Nostradamus." Lǐ Chúnfèng [602-670] & Yuan, Tienkang lived at the time of the Empress Wu of the Tang dynasty.
