DESCRIPTION:James Legge (1815–97)\, arguably the most prominent missiona
 ry-sinologist in the 19th century and the founding Professor of Chinese in
  Oxford in 1876\, produced an English translation of the Yijing (Book of C
 hanges)\, the highly venerated and influential Chinese classic\, in 1882. 
 Perceiving the Yijing as a Confucian classic with profound moralistic conn
 otations\, Legge even revered it as a “sacred book” containing some di
 vine revelation. He claimed that the Chinese term Shangdi (Supreme Lord) m
 eant “God–our God–the true God”\; and that the operations of natur
 e in the various seasons\, as denoted by the trigrams\, are the operations
  of Shangdi. This talk examines Legge’s pioneering attempt of introducin
 g and translating the Chinese classic to the West\, which engendered profo
 und inter-religious encounters and dialogues between Confucianism and Chri
 stianity.
