The Yijing section of the Siku Quanshu Imperial Encyclopedia available for download
If you would like to know which collection of Yi books is in the Siku Quanshu 四庫全書 Imperial Encyclopedia, look here. The Center for Zhouyi & Ancient Chinese Philosophy from the University of Shandong has made this treasure available as PDFs, in fine quality. Enjoy.

Wow! All I had of this was a crappy pirated edition with muddy picture files. This is a tremendous resource! Thanks!

I was able to download 37 of 40. Were you able to download 9, 10 and 11 cleanly at some point? I tried twice and they don't open.
Guess I'll just have to read the other thousands of pages of material.
Also, for those commenting on the lack of English, there is no English translation of the Treasury. It would exhaust the resources of world translation to create one. These 40 files are just a fifth of the first section, on the Classics. The full Treasury is about 3.5 million pages of material, and occupied a building of its own in the Imperial Palace in Beijing.

Hi Taras,
I could download it all without any problems, I suggest you try it again later. Beware of the link to download 37, it points to download no. 3. You have to manually change the hyperlink in your browser to download this file, or use this link:

Good luck! And happy reading.
Harmen.
