Generating a hexagram - error in wikihow
« on: February 13, 2020, 09:05:58 AM »
Hi all, a student of mine has just generated a hexagram using the guidance in https://www.wikihow.com/Consult-the-I-Ching-Using-3-Coins.  Be careful that the image contains a grave error.

PART 2 FINDING YOUR HEXAGRAM:



* 6 (3 tails) is considered a changing yin and is drawn as a broken line with an X in the middle.   
* 9 (3 heads) is considered a changing yang and is drawn as a solid line with a circle in the middle.   
* 7 (2 tails, 1 head) is considered an unchanging yang, and is drawn as a solid line. 
* 8 (2 heads, 1 tail) is considered an unchanging yin and is drawn as a broken line. 


(Head = the picture of the person's head. Tail = the picture of building)

Note that the above image is wrong:
* 7 solid line is not drawn as a solid line
* 8 broken line is not drawn as a broken line

If one follows only the image in the website, then the generated hexagram would be wrong.
