Map 587 A Look at Numbers and Patterns of The I Ching

This is a map of The I Ching Hexagrams note how patterns of diagonal lines can be formed for each hexagram that matches its reverse description. e.g. 1/7 with 7/1 2/8 with 8/2 etc., only the numbers that remain the same such as 2/2 and 6/6 create no diagonal connection lines.  This next image is a little naive but gives you the idea with the double numbers across the top of half of the others remain but they are mirror reverse images of each other.

You literally fold the I Ching diagonally from top left to bottom right and you have this pattern. With the numbers covering each other on the back like the image below for 1/7

So we are finding more and more easy to read patterns within the hexagram numbers of the I Ching.

In the original I Ching Hexagrams of course you only get the lines of Jin and Jang with the hexagram numbers not the numbers of the Nine Star Ki as shown here so it makes it a lot harder to see when you only have that one image.
