I Ching 64 Hexagrams: A Quick Reference Table

By Fang Zhang

---

When I study the I Ching (易经), I often want one simple page where I can quickly scan all 64 hexagrams.

This table is my own compact reference format, inspired by traditional 64-hexagram indexes.

The 64 hexagrams

Above trigram is on the left, Below trigram is on the top.
Each header uses the English name plus trigram symbol.

• Different translations may use slightly different English wording.
• I use this as a navigation map, then read the Judgment and line texts in detail elsewhere.
