Hello; I was wondering what the I Ching would look like if the hexagrams were arranged in pairs of reversed polarity, rather than physically inverted as are most of the pairs in the King Wen sequence. That way, one can compare the “negative” lines side-by-side. I call them the pang tong yao and have posted them at
russellcottrell.com/VirtualYarrowStalks/pangTong.htm
I apologize if this is not new; I wasn’t able to find such a list anywhere.

Oh, by the way Russell. I am curious if your Avatar picture is the reverse from left to right. JUST WONDERING.
Nothing specific, I was just thinking that it might be thought-stimulating. For example, in this list, 33 Tun / Retreat is the opposite of 19 Lin / Approach. 10 Lü / Treading is the opposite of 15 Ch’ien / Modesty; this might suggest that the concept of treading on the tail of a tiger is a fundamentally “immodest” act, an act of hubris. And line 1 of 6 Sung / Conflict and 36 Ming I / Darkening of the Light both mention gossip.
Of course, not all the pairs have obvious relationships. Maybe it just takes more thought.
— Russell
Actually, the meaning of each pair of my example should be like the following. (The meaning of 63 other Hexagrams should be in the same way).
