A hexagram is a divinatory component of the I Ching, an ancient Chinese oracle of changes. As part of a demonstration on the function of the I Ching, I created this animation illustrating several elements of the hexagram as described in Ritsema and Karcher's (1995) translation. For a detailed description of this animation visit my blog https://peakd.com/hive-150329/@litguru/save-us-hexagram-youre-our-only-choice For a more comprehensive study of the I Ching see Ritsema, R. and Karcher, S.
