Bradford seems to have a sense of this, but I'm not clear what you mean by 'below' and 'above'? Are you saying, how does 36 'change into' 54?how one arrives at a hexagram below 36 (i.e., 6 lines of 6) or above 54 (i.e., 6 lines of 9).
Yes, this is the method that we're both familar with (I assume) - but also, here with all 6s and all 9s these are both changing hexgrams ... but that's another matter.6 lines of 6 is hexagram number 2 and 6 lines of 9 are hexagram number 1.
What this gives you is Hexagram 52 with the 3rd line moving (or changing), resulting in Hexagram 23.The order is from bottom (1st thrown) to top (last thrown): 8, 8, 9, 8, 8, 7.
Many, many Yi books have a section about this, so that's a good place to start. I'm attached an image that shows some of this, and I hope it's helpful - maybe the missing piece from what you were studying.Is there another place I might look here or elsewhere that provides an explanation?
I didn't get it at first either, but the 'below 36' and 'above 54' clued me in, as in 6 lines x the number 6 = 36, and 6 lines x the number 9 = 54.Yeah I see now, and I overlooked the "Newbee" ....
.... I wish I could be a newbee all the way down the line.
