The Book of Changes

The 64 hexagrams

Judgments, lines and changes

The Yi Jing describes the world through sixty-four figures of six lines, each composed of two trigrams. Each figure carries a judgment — its overall word — and six lines that are read only when they change in a cast, then transforming the figure into another. Here you will find each of them, with its judgment, its six lines and where each change leads.
