Quick answer

What is special about the six lines of the Hàm hexagram?

The six lines of Hàm use the image of stirring in different parts of the body to describe six levels of feeling: the big toe (Sơ Lục), the calf (Lục Nhị), the thigh (Cửu Tam), no named body part, which many commentators read as the heart (Cửu Tứ), the area of the back behind the heart (Cửu Ngũ), and the mouth and tongue (Thượng Lục). This is a progression from a very faint stirring to empty words.

From the article “What Does Hexagram 31, Trạch Sơn Hàm (咸, ䷞), Say About Mutual Attraction Between Two People, and Why Does the Lower Canon Open With This Hexagram?”
