This is the first time in three thousand years that such a project has been undertaken. I am hoping to publish a book that I have written with the text used in the Java oracle and a more in depth explanation of the changes, hexagrams, etc. In the oracle 's response, the first numeral gives the hexagram number, and the second numeral gives the line number. These numbers are there so that you can find the corresponding line in the Chow I . There are eight trigrams that could be used to represent eight stages of a cycle, for example bouncing a ball against a wall.
Lets start with the trigram which has the lower line yang and the other lines ying.
It represents a ball coming. The trigram with the middle line ying and other lines yang represents someone catching a ball. The trigram with the top line ying and other lines yang represents someone who is holding a ball. The trigram with all three lines yang represents someone using a ball. The trigram with the bottom line ying and other lines yang represents someone actively aiming a ball.
