Cross lines
Note that in all hexagrams except for 1:2, 27:28, 29:30 and 61:62, the lines
generate diagonally opposite pairs of zhi gua. Line 1 pairs with line 6, line 2 pairs
with line 5, and so on. For example, 47,1 leads to hexagram 58; 48,6 leads to
hexagram 57, thus connecting the pair 47:48 to the pair 57:58. Likewise, 47,2 leads
to 45; 48,5 leads to 46.
This pattern exists for almost all lines throughout: the exceptions arise when the
zhi gua is a hexagram with vertical symmetry (1:2, 27:28, 29:30, 61:62). In these
cases, marked in white, the paired lines share a single zhi gua. See 47,3 and 48, 4,
or 47,4 and 48,3, for examples.
Colours
These represent the hexagram reached by taking successive nuclear hexagrams of
nuclear hexagrams. In this way all the hexagrams of the Yijing are seeded by
either hexagram 1, 2, 63 or 64.
Red means the successive nuclear hexagrams arrive at Hexagram 1 - Hexagram 28,
for instance.
Green means they arrive at Hexagram 2.
Blue means they arrive at Hexagram 63 (before 64).
Yellow means they arrive at Hexagram 64 (before 63).
The background colouring of the charts is only significant in that it draws
attention to the left side as the Inspiration or Light side, and the right side as being
that of the Shadow or Manifestation. This idea is laid out in the Shuogua.
The different chart background colouring/styles draw attention to fundamental
differences between the four types of pair.
