The sigil

  

Take a look at that sigil. It is built up of 40 trigrams, yet it contains all 64 hexagrams of the ancient Chinese oracle book, the Zhouyi.

More than that, it can help us reconstruct the famous King Wen sequence, the first known linear transcription of the Zhouyi.

  1. This sigil seems is way overly complicated. If you want to see the 'received' sequence of the hexagrams from the Yijing, just open up a copy of the Yijing.

  2. This sigil has turned eight trigrams into 40 trigrams!I thought the idea was to simplify, not magically create 5x more chaos and confusion.

  3. There are 8 trigrams that can be used to create the 64 hexagrams. That's been known for a few thousand years. But now you're giving us '40 trigrams' and 'reconstructing' the order of the hexagrams as they are in the Zhouyi / Yijing. What sort of foolishness are you up to?
