When I first came into contact with Zhouyi, I always had a headache about how to remember the sixty-four hexagrams quickly. Sometimes, it's hard to remember the names of the upper and lower hexagrams, and as a result, you can't remember the names of the hexagrams when you swap places. In view of this situation, I share my own method of reciting sixty-four hexagrams, hoping to bring some help to beginners.
Recite the song of the Eight Diagrams Array first.
Gankun Tunmeng needs a lawyer. He is better than a small animal.
My colleagues are very modest and prepared, and I am eager to meet them.
It's better to stay away from a big animal than to skin it.
Xian Heng fled, powerful, and Jin He's family were in sight.
Solve the profit and loss, lift the trapped well and shake it,
Gen gradually returned to his sister and was blessed by the festival for his rich journey.
Younger than Gigi and not helping, it's for the next 34.
The author of this Song formula is Zhu, a famous Neo-Confucianist in Song Dynasty. He condensed the names of the sixty-four hexagrams in Zhouyi into a formula, which was catchy and memorable. The skill of reciting this rhyme is to read it every day, repeatedly, often, and remember it after a long time.
The advantage of reciting this rhyme is that you can get a glimpse of the sixty-four hexagrams. You can know the order of one of the hexagrams. For example, "Yes" ranks seventh in the sixty-four hexagrams, "Greater than" ranks 28th in the sixty-four hexagrams, "Small Fruit" ranks sixty-second in the sixty-four hexagrams, and so on.
