Part of I Ching (Change)

A six-line symbol in the I Ching that represents a specific situation or pattern of change. Each hexagram has a judgment, image, and line texts. Each of the 64 hexagrams consists of six lines (yin or yang) with judgment, image, and line texts -- used both as a divination tool and a philosophical system for understanding change.

Within the vast Chinese philosophical tradition, from the Hundred Schools of Thought to the classical texts that shaped East Asian civilization, Hexagram represents a key concept that continues to inform philosophical thought and practice today.
