what is the correct way to read a I-Ching hexagram?

Question

I recently bought a book on I - Ching that came with three chinese coins. The book is vague on how to read the hexagram. It seems to suggest that you only read the moving/changing lines. If any one knows, it would be a help. Im not even sureif this is the right category to post this question under. maybe you have suggestions as to a more appropiate category i can post this under? thanks.

Answer 1

You read all the lines. You read the first hexagram, then read the second hexagram created by the changing lines.
