Petiția se adresează: Bürgermeister Hans-Rudi Bührle
We are the administrators of the forum "Yi Jing - I Ching - Noi e il Mutamento", an Italian-language community of enthusiasts and scholars of the ancient Chinese Book of Changes. We would like to inform the Municipality of Bad Boll (Baden-Württemberg, Germany), which hosts the tomb of Richard Wilhelm (1873-1930), a world-famous sinologist, known above all for being the author of the most widespread version of the I Ching, and his wife Salome Blumhardt, that the funerary monument (fig. 1) of its illustrious citizen currently presents an evident error in the arrangement of the covering slabs. In fact, a well-known sequence of symbols (called Trigrams) should be read there, which is called the houtian bagua (Sequence of the Later Heaven) in Chinese tradition (fig. 2). This sequence, which can be seen in its correct form in a previous photograph, has been altered by the exchange of two corner slabs (fig. 3), probably during restoration work.
motive
The tomb, located in the cemetery of the Blumhardt family, is known worldwide by a large community of scholars and devotees of the I Ching (the Book of Changes), and for this reason it is a travel destination for visitors of various nationalities. We believe that the reported error, in addition to not paying due homage and respect to the memory of R. Wilhelm, constitutes a significant damage to the image of the Municipality where the tomb is located. We therefore ask and suggest that the competent authorities work towards an adequate restoration of the monument to bring it back to its original conditions.

Without Wilhelm's translation of the Yijing, we in the West would most likely never have heard of it. He deserves our respect.
