Results for "four cardinal hexagrams"
Which hexagrams are the four cardinal hexagrams?
The four cardinal hexagrams are Khảm, Ly, Chấn and Đoài, following the Meng quái khí chart recorded by Huệ Đống. They stand outside the 60-hexagram day cycle, governing the four seasons and the four markers of winter solstice, summer solstice, spring equinox, and autumn equinox. The books differ on their time: Kinh Phòng gives them seventy three eightieths of the first day of each solstice and equinox, while the Mạnh method does not.
