Third, we have supplied a detailed commentary that increased Konrad's commentaries, preserved in full, several times over.
Fourth, we have written an introductory article about the present state of studies of the Book of Changes in the world and the recent discoveries in this field. The article is supplied with illustrations presupposed by the monument's symbolic-numerical nature.
Fifth, we have compiled Shchutskii's new biography and bibliography of his works and what was written about him and supplied them with interesting historical documents: his autobiography and V.M. Alexeev's Notes on Scholarly Works and Research of Sinologist Prof. Yulian Shchutskii.
Sixth, we have complemented Konrad's foreword for the first edition with Alexeev's significant and constructive review of Shchutskii's work (used as an afterword).
Seventh, we have compiled a bibliography about the Book of Changes and renovated the scientific apparatus.
Eighth, the book is supplied with the Chinese original of Zhou yi reproducing the most authoritative for the Yu.K. Shchutskii's time publication of the text in the series of Harvard-Yanjing indexes. The text is especially valuable for its considering all the main allographs known at that time.
