 | | Since hexagrams 1 and 2 are the only pure hexagrams, pure yin and pure yang, if we then treat these two as a special case and the rest of the hexagrams as the manifestation of the interaction of yin/yang, then we can group the remaining 62 in order. |
 | | Since texts from 600 BC exist refering to the I Ching, and the Duke of Chou, the originator of the line comments, existed circa 1000 BC, the I Ching as we know it was probably in a usable form around 800BC. |
 | | What is of interest is that, when we compare the I Ching and the MBTI®, as we can do since they are based on dichotomies and can be layed-out on a binary tree, we find that the words used to describe specific states share common themes within identical positions. |
