How does the Thủy Hỏa Ký Tế hexagram differ from the Hỏa Thủy Vị Tế hexagram?
The Thủy Hỏa Ký Tế hexagram (number 63) has the inner trigram Ly (fire) and the outer trigram Khảm (water), the image of water above fire, signifying that the work is done. The Hỏa Thủy Vị Tế hexagram (number 64) has the inner trigram Khảm (water) and the outer trigram Ly (fire), the image of fire above water, signifying that the work is not yet done. These two hexagrams are a pair of opposites that transform into each other: Ký Tế is the hỗ quái (nuclear hexagram), thác quái (opposite hexagram) and tổng quái (inverted hexagram) of Vị Tế, and vice versa. When the work is done (Ký Tế) but is not maintained, it will return to not yet done (Vị Tế), and when the work is not yet done (Vị Tế) but effort is made, it will move to done (Ký Tế).
