For the sake of time and effort I will continue to use the colors from my original source.Īs I have been putting this book together the effect of seeing the trigrams in color has caused me to view the hexagrams more as what they are - two trigrams interacting with each other. The I Ching is an ancient Chinese oracle that provides an Oriental. The hexagram meanings are part oracle with the influence of mythology from the period.
I found black, yellow and blood red attributed to The Receptive Earth Thunder was both green and yellow Wind/Wood were both scarlet and white, and Abysmal Water both black and blood red. However when I did research for this book I noticed that some other I Ching authors didn’t associate the same colors with some of the trigrams. The cookbook pages are also satisfying, again drawing. They form the backbone of the whole I Ching structure. There is a handy-to-use hexagram chart on the back of the last page - no hunting around for it. I arrived at the colors associated with each trigram from the book, I Ching, The Classic Chinese Oracle of Change translated by Rudolf Ritsema and Stephen Karcher, published by Barnes & Noble in 1995. see the significance of this curve a little later on, when we discuss the I Ching Landscape.) The pairs 1/2, 11/12, 29/30, 63/64 stand out in this group because they are simple combinations of the Heaven/Earth and Water/Fire trigrams respectively. About Colors Used for These Lines of Trigrams
