The two last hexagrams

[svenrus]

Briefly having been look'in Sung Dynasty uses of the I Ching, still my question is: Has any of Shao Yongs books been translated into english ?

I will end this search for a chronology in the evolution of the sixty four hexagrams for now, as I can't make my sense of logic fit with a reasonable order of the hexagrams in this system of categories ie from the lowest to the highest value for hexagram 2 with it's value Twelve, Category I, to hexagram 1 with it's value 18, Category VII, all the other hexagrams representing Category II to VI between.
My hope is that someone will be able to find this little "dead-end-journey" or part of it inspiring to 'reflect on this matter further'......

I've recently formed a scheme, page 48, according to the observation on page 22 in the above #32 given Link
The categorized Order of mine set into the king Wen order....

I'm thinking about setting the order of the Mawangdui edition (1) and the order of the Circular arrangement given by Shao Yong (2) into this categorized system as well hoping for a clearer overwiev.

Done (#34) page 48 to 50 HERE. When crosschecking I - again - found small failures in the pdf that I'd corrected; with a bit of shame I must commit: as I shouldn't had published any of it before making sure it was without failures. (and having a bad suspection that more follows...)

In the case that someone have read my PDF and found interest in examine the categorized hexagramlist of mine, on page 51 to 54 I've added some material to be printed- and cutted out.....
