The 64th Hexagram: Huo Shan Lü Gua (Mountain on Fire, Travel Hexagram)

Lü Gua [Extremely Unfavorable] Abide by Righteousness and Follow the Times

Hexagram Name:

Lü Gua [Extremely Unfavorable Hexagram] Abide by Righteousness and Follow the Times

Image Interpretation:

A bird builds its nest in a tree, but a petty person plots to set it on fire. If a noble person draws this hexagram, it bodes ill; all plans and hopes will be in vain. This hexagram is formed by the overlapping of two different trigrams: Gen (Mountain) below and Li (Fire) above. It is the inverse of Feng Gua (Abundance Hexagram), forming a "mutual comprehensive hexagram." Fire burns in the mountains, blazing unceasingly, and the flames spread forward without stopping, just like a traveler on the road hurrying to their destination. Hence, it is called Lü Gua (Travel Hexagram).

What is the I Ching Oracle Sticks

The I Ching (Book of Changes) encompasses all things and regulates all beings, standing as an outstanding representative of the traditional culture of the Han ethnicity. It is traditionally said to have been written by King Wen. The sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching, also referred to as "Golden Hexagram Divination" or "Coin Divination", are believed to have been created by King Wen of Zhou. It is said that divination based on these sixty-four hexagrams is highly accurate. The sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching, through their combinations, reflect the philosophy of life and the laws governing the operation of nature under sixty-four different specific circumstances such as things, situations, and phenomena. Each of the sixty-four hexagrams consists of six lines (yao) and line statements (yaoci), corresponding to 384 states. Through the changes brought about by these state variations, one can understand the way all things in the world operate and the philosophy of life.
