Structures and Sequences
![]()
In the pages linked to here I try and provide a coherent presentation of the various structures and sequences that can be used to organise the gua. The basic idea is to provide a page for each gua and then provide links to the other gua with which it is related through the various structures and sequences.Sequences are indicated with the following set of buttons:
King Wen In this case, we are providing the King Wen sequence. The buttons have the obvious interpretation. Working from left to right the buttons connect to (i) the first gua in the sequence, (ii) the previous gua in the sequence, (iii) the next gua in the sequence, and (iv) the final gua in the sequence. Access to the lattice structures is through the following set of buttons:
In this case the "T" shaped button at the top jumps directly to the lattice page for the top element of the structure and the inverted "T" button at the bottom jumps directly to the lattice page for the bottom element of the structure. The middle button with the lattice diagram jumps to the lattice page for the given gua. For a description of how the lattice pages are intended to work, check here.
The lattice pages themselves show the gua under consideration with a gray band and the gua that it connects to above and below. The main gua on a lattice page links to the primary page for that gua whilst the other gua link to further lattice pages. If that's not clear then just exploring a little should help.
Although the main page for each gua provides some text describing the nature and situation represented by that gua, these are not intended as a replacement for a good translation.
The entry point for the trigram structures is here:
