Conflict

Conflict asks you to separate principle from pride and fact from noise.

Zhouyi Core · 周易

Ancient source, separate from translation and interpretation

450/450 Zhouyi records have product-level record adjudication; 0/450 are academic VERIFIED. Translation and interpretation may not rewrite the Chinese source.

卦辭 · hexagram statement

讼:有孚,窒,惕,中吉,终凶。利见大人,不利涉大川。

Translation · final OmenHall editorial review, not independent-human/academic verified

Conflict: there is trust, yet obstruction. Cautiousness: midway auspicious, to the end ominous. It is beneficial to see the great person; not beneficial to cross the great river.

The punctuation of 窒惕中吉終凶 is interpretively important; this draft follows the adjudicated segmentation while leaving room for later philological review.

九二:不克讼,归而逋,其邑人三百户无眚。

Nine in the Second: unable to prevail in the dispute, he returns and flees. The three hundred households of his settlement are without calamity.

邑人三百户 is a concrete archaic social measure; it is retained rather than converted into an abstract metaphor.

六三:食旧德,贞厉,终吉。或从王事,无成。

Six in the Third: feeding on old virtue. Constancy amid danger; in the end, auspicious. Perhaps follow the king’s affairs, but do not claim accomplishment.

食舊德 and 無成 are compact and interpretation-sensitive. The draft provisionally reads inherited/old virtue or standing and a refusal to claim completion; both deserve Classical Chinese review.

Nine in the Fourth: unable to prevail in the dispute, return to the mandate and change. Peaceful constancy is auspicious.

命 may be command, mandate, or allotted order; the draft leaves the exact institutional sense open.

上九:或锡之鞶带,终朝三褫之。

Top Nine: perhaps he is granted a leather belt; before the morning ends, it is stripped from him three times.

The belt is a rank/status object in the historical setting; the translation does not import later moral commentary into the line itself.

Ten Wings · 十翼 · later commentary

Mapped commentary context

10/10 remote pinned · 0/10 local validated
彖傳上 · Tuan Commentary I象傳上 · Image Commentary I

Ten Wings: 10/10 segments have pinned remote source identity, while validated local text remains 0/10. This reading therefore exposes provenance/context mapping only and inserts no commentary text. Tuan/Xiang/Wenyan remain separate from Zhouyi Core; Xici/Shuogua/Xugua/Zagua are not presented as if they directly comment on this specific cast.

context map: ICHING_TEN_WINGS_CONTEXT_MAP_V1_20260827

Association of the Ten Wings with Confucius may be described as traditional attribution, not as an established modern historical fact.

Wikisource currently presents 彖 in one page and splits 象 as 大象/小象. Those web-page divisions are not adopted as OmenHall canonical wing boundaries. OmenHall keeps traditional 彖上/下 and 象上/下 by upper/lower hexagram canon, while 大象/小象 remain internal Xiang subtypes.

The attribution/ShareAlike engineering path is prepared for 10/10 segments, but the owner's license-path acceptance remains pending. Kanseki's published label is retained as “CC BY SA” without inventing an unstated version.

OmenHall completed its own AI-assisted editorial review of 450/450 source-bound RU/EN translations and applied 13 final corrections. This is a product editorial baseline, not independent human or academic verification: human sign-off 0/450, academic VERIFIED 0/450. Philological notes remain visible for 353/450 higher-risk passages.

Ten Wings: 10/10 remote source identities are pinned and canonical segmentation is mapped; validated local text 0/10. This is a separate later scholar/commentary layer. Until a local validated corpus exists it stays fail-closed and does not block the core Zhouyi content/logic freeze.

OmenHall modern interpretation must be labeled as modern application, never as translation or ancient commentary.

OmenHall modern interpretation · the section below is modern application. It is not a translation of the Zhouyi and it is not the Ten Wings.

Situation

There is tension of positions, agreements, expectations, or righteousness.

Advice

Reduce escalation, record facts, seek mediator or clear rules.

Caution

Do not use the oracle as a weapon against another person.

How to read lines

  • • First read Conflict as the state of the question, not as a promise of an event.
  • • If there are changing lines, they show not a second prediction, but the place where the situation has begun to move.
  • • The resulting hexagram is read as the direction of transformation, not as a guaranteed outcome.

A changing line does not cancel the main hexagram. It shows the seam through which the old form is already turning into a new one.

For day and decision

Daily I Ching

On a Conflict day, look for one small step that fits the rhythm of the moment. Do not turn the whole day into a hexagram test.

I Ching for decisions

For a decision, Conflict asks not “what will definitely happen,” but “which action is ripe now, and which is premature.”

Reflection questions

  • • What is fact?
  • • What do I want to achieve by arguing?
  • • Where is a third party needed?

Small practice

  • • Write the question in one line without naming another person if it can be phrased through your own choice.
  • • Mark what is already fact, what is fear, and what is still only assumption.
  • • After the reading, choose one step for the next 24 hours, not a plan for your entire fate.

Journal

  • • Where does the theme of “Conflict” appear in my situation?
  • • What fact must I accept before asking for a sign?
  • • Which step is small enough not to break the balance?

Reading boundary

I Ching in OmenHall does not diagnose, replace professionals, or guarantee the future. It is a language of timing, choice, and proportion.

The best ending for an I Ching reading is to name one fact, one risk, one step, and one time when you will return to the question without compulsive repetition.
