I Ching for Beginners: Where Do You Start?
A hand-painted introduction to Yi, yin–yang, lines, eight trigrams and the 64 hexagrams. Follow a simple learning map, then choose an existing YiPhase beginner guide or free reading.
Start with one question: what is Yi, and how do its patterns fit together? This short film introduces a learning route rather than teaching every topic at once.

What this introduction connects
- Yi 易 and yin–yang 阴阳. Begin with change and relationships, rather than treating a symbol as a guaranteed outcome. Start here →
- Lines 爻 and eight trigrams 八卦. Solid and broken lines form three-line patterns; two trigrams form a six-line hexagram. Watch the eight-trigrams lesson →
- Earlier Heaven 先天 and Later Heaven 后天. These are different traditional arrangements of the eight trigrams. Here both are shown with south at the top, east on the left. They provide different symbolic ways of organizing relationships, not two guaranteed prediction engines. Read the trigram guide →
- The 64 hexagrams 六十四卦. Compare the classical words and six positions before applying them to your situation. Open the complete library →
中文学习要点
爻有阴阳之分，三爻组成八卦，两卦相重成为六爻卦。先天与后天是不同的传统排列，本片修订图统一采用南上、北下、东左、西右；不是把两种排列画成相同的装饰圆环。学习时可从一个概念、一卦或一爻开始，不要求先看完所有资料。
About the film and its learning map
The hand-painted film was supplied by YiPhase’s owner as a Grok-assisted production. Its original narration, captions, mentor illustration and scene are retained. The two generated bagua diagrams were corrected for this publication.
“13 layers / 4 steps” is the teaching outline used in this film. It is not a fixed sequence in the classical text or a claim that this website offers a separate completed 13-layer curriculum. Follow the working beginner links above at your own pace.
These English and Chinese notes summarize the film; they are not a word-for-word audio transcript. The complete English captions are in the video.
素材与学习地图说明
