Comprehensive and Wrong Hexagrams: Understanding the Symmetrical Beauty of Hexagrams

What is a comprehensive hexagram

The comprehensive hexagram is a new hexagram obtained by reversing a hexagram. It reflects the different aspects of the same thing from different perspectives.

Classic Comprehensive Hexagrams

Tun Xi Meng Xi Birth → Enlightenment
Need for litigation Waiting Dispute
Teacher Bi Commander → Personal Attachment
Small livestock footwear savings → practice

The Comprehensive Hexagram tells us that for the same thing, different positions lead to different appearances. Putting oneself in others' shoes is an important method for understanding things.

What is a wrong hexagram

The wrong hexagram is a new hexagram obtained by swapping the yin and yang of each line of a hexagram. It represents the opposite of things.

Classic wrong hexagrams are correct

This hexagram Wrong hexagram Relationship
Qian ䷀ Kun ䷁ Heaven and Earth
Kan ䷜ Li ䷝ Water and Fire
Thunder and Wind
Gen ䷳ Dui ䷹ Shan and Ze

The wrong hexagram reveals the philosophy of the unity of yin and yang opposition: where there is heaven, there is earth; where there is strength, there is softness.

Interactive hexagram

The interactive hexagram is a new hexagram formed by combining the two, three, four, and four lines of a six line hexagram to form the lower hexagram, and the three, four, and five lines to form the upper hexagram. It reveals the inherent trend of the development of things.

1. * * Comprehensive analysis of the problem * *: Looking at the problem from both sides
2. * * Understanding the unity of opposites * *: The interdependence between conflicting parties
3. * * Predicting Development Trends * *: Judging Trends through Changes in Hexagrams

Summary

The hexagram system of the Book of Changes is a precise symbol system, and each hexagram does not exist in isolation. A complete universe model is constructed through relationships such as comprehensive hexagrams, incorrect hexagrams, and interactive hexagrams.
