Sorry for posting too much, but I am teaching several people about the I Ching tomorrow and there are a couple of holes in my knowledge. I am going to focus on the lines of the hexagram and one of the things is how the lines were related to the structure of society. I can't remember 3 or 4, but here's what I do remember:


6 Wisdom
5 Authority
4 ??
3 ??
2 Individual
1 Instincts

Is this scheme common or relevant? I am thinking that it was 3 Family and 4 City or something like that. I don't have the book I learned this from and the books I do have don't mention it. I also saw it described (incompletely) as:

6 Sage
5 Sovereign
4 Minister
3 ??
2 ??
1 ??

Also, which strata or wing would these be in and is there any consensus on them?


thanks for any input here.
