I Ching (The Meanings of the 8 Trigrams and 64 Hexagrams)

Below that is a table showing exactly how the 8 Trigrams in row one and column one, come together to form an individual Hexagram.  To find out what each Hexagram looks like simply click on the number and you should be able to see using this grid how the upper and lower Trigrams make that Hexagram.  To find out the divinatory meaning of each symbol or Hexagram simply click on the symbol or the number in the grid and you will be taken to its meaning.  The meanings for the 64 hexagrams come from "Sacred Books of the East, vol. 16 (1899)" translated by James Legge.  The explanation of the entire figure is by: King Wăn and the explanation of the six individual lines are by: the Duke of K�u.
