The ''I Ching'' book consists of 64 hexagrams. A hexagram is a figure composed of six stacked horizontal lines (爻 yáo), where each line is either Yang (an unbroken, or solid line), or Yin (broken, an open line with a gap in the center). The hexagram lines are traditionally counted from the bottom up, so the lowest line is considered line one while the top line is line six. Hexagrams are formed by combining the original eight trigrams in different combinations. Each hexagram is accompanied with a description, often cryptic, akin to parables. Each line in every hexagram is also given a similar description. ==Types== Classic and modern ''I Ching'' commentaries mention a number of different hexagram types: * Eight trigrams * Original hexagram * Future hexagram * Nuclear hexagram * Reverse hexagram (is found by turning a hexagram upside down) * Complementary hexagram (is found by changing all the lines into their opposite) * Hexagram of Change (bian gua) * Internal Hexagram (nei gua) * External Hexagram (wai gua) * Mutual Hexagram (hu gua) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hexagram (I Ching)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
