About This Site
This is a free guide to the I Ching (the Book of Changes), presenting all sixty-four hexagrams with their line figures, names, Judgments, meanings, and practical guidance. Our aim is to make a text more than three thousand years old clear and usable for readers today.
Our Sources
Each hexagram’s figure, name, and core interpretation are grounded in the classical tradition:
- The Zhou Yi — the ancient core text, with the Judgments and line statements of the sixty-four hexagrams.
- The Ten Wings (Yizhuan) — the canonical commentaries that shaped how the hexagrams are understood.
- The traditional trigram system — the eight trigrams, their images and relationships, including the opposite and reversed hexagrams.
On this foundation we render each hexagram in clear modern English. English hexagram names follow the widely used King Wen tradition so they match what most readers and references expect.
Editorial Approach
Before publishing, each hexagram is checked against multiple traditional editions for the correct figure, name, sequence, and trigram structure. We revise continually; if you spot an error, please write to us.
