Study Tool This is a picture, in gif formated, and is for studying Hexagrams. You may print it out if you like. Each Hexagram has six Yao (broken lines and unbroken lines) in six positions. Yao are changable, positions are not changable. For your convenience to study, you may prepare six coins or six small cardboards marked with broken line on one side and unbroken line on the other side. You may arrange them on the tool when you study hexagrams and their statments.

Yang Yao locating in Yang postion, or Yin Yao locating in Yin position is known as "in proper position". For example, The fifth and sixth Hexagram, Xu and Song, has the nine in the fifth position. And the fifth position is yang-hard position, also is Heaven and centrer position. Both of Yao statements (line statements) seems good. Both of Xiang statments (image statments) say "the central and correct place".

The beginning/initial and the fourth have the reaction/reponse relationship between them. It is the same to the second and the fifth, the third and the upper. For example, The thirteenth Hexagram, Tong Ren, the Tuan statement says "in the central and correct position, and responding". It indicates that the nine in fifth responds to the six in second; the Yang in the fifth responds to the Yin in the second.

Further, the Yao statement of the beginning/initial says "to go forward will not win". It is because there is a Yang Yao over the nine in the beginning/initial. ........

I hope this study tool is helpful to you.
