Hexagram structure
How to read changing lines
When a cast produces moving lines (three of a kind with coins, or a moving line in Mei Hua time casting), classical rules set the priority. Following Zhu Xi's Yixue Qimeng:
- One line movesRead the moving line's text of this hexagram as primary
- Two lines moveRead both moving lines' texts, the upper one takes precedence
- Three lines moveCombine the Judgments of this hexagram and the changed one (ben as zhen, changed as hui)
- Four lines moveRead the two unmoved lines' texts of the changed hexagram, the lower takes precedence
- Five lines moveRead the single unmoved line's text of the changed hexagram
- Six lines moveQian and Kun use their special 'Yong' texts; other hexagrams read the changed hexagram's Judgment
The Line texts are listed in full below.
