	"Originally this book was known 
	 as the I of the Zhou dynasty (1122-221 B.C.).

	 Before that time there were two other I,
	 the I of the Xia dynasty (2005-1766 B.C.) [Lian Shan I]

	 and

  	 the I of the Shang dynasty (1766-1122 B.C.). [Gui Zang I]

	 Unfortunately only fragments of these two earlier 
	 books survive."

Hey Kids!

I googled these newsgroups:

alt.philosophy.taoism
alt.chinese.fengshui
alt.divination
alt.philosophy.taoism
soc.culture.china
soc.history.ancient

using keyterms like these

PRIMARY
"I Ching"
also "Yi Jing", "Yijing"
aka "Zhouyi", "Chou I",  "Chou Yi", "Zhou Yi", "Zhou I"
"Book of Change", "Book of Changes", "Change Classic"

"Lian Shan" aka "Lian San"
"Gui Zang" aka "Qui Zang" aka "Kui Zhan"

Fu Xi aka Fu Hsi, King Wen aka Wen Wang, Duke of Chou

SECONDARY

and discovered the following usenet authorities on the topic:

?"Xu Gua Zhuan" and 'interaction' for 'heaven' hexagram (KW01)?
