Last updated: April 17, 2026
Sources
Hexagram pages are grounded in the Zhouyi / I Ching text, including the Judgment, Image, line statements, and related commentarial traditions.
Summaries, FAQs, and learning prompts are editorial layers designed to help readers study the source material more effectively.
Editorial Method
We preserve the structure of the primary material first, then add vernacular explanation and modern reading guidance for multilingual audiences.
Localized titles and introductions are rewritten for clarity and natural reading rather than translated word for word.
AI Boundaries
AI is used as an interpretive and organizational aid. It does not replace personal judgment and should not be treated as investment, medical, legal, or other professional advice.
The website and app are positioned as educational and reflective tools for studying the Book of Changes.
