初九:拔茅茹以其汇,征吉。

Initial Nine: pulling up cogon grass, its roots come with their kind. Going forth is auspicious.

茅茹以其汇 describes entangled roots/companions; the draft keeps the botanical image.

九二:包荒。用冯河,不遐遗;朋亡。得尚于中行。

Nine in the Second: embracing the uncultivated; crossing the river without a boat; not abandoning what is distant; letting factional companions fall away. One gains esteem by walking the middle way.

用冯河 is read in its established ford-the-river-without-a-boat sense; 朋亡 remains socially ambiguous, so “factional companions fall away” is an editorial gloss rather than a universal lexical equation.

Line 3 · 爻辭

九三:无平不陂,无往不复,艰贞无咎。勿恤其孚,于食有福。

Nine in the Third: no level ground without a slope; no going without return. In hardship, constancy brings no blame. Do not grieve over its trust; in eating there is blessing.

勿恤其孚 is terse and pronoun reference is debated; translation remains deliberately close.

Line 4 · 爻辭

六四:翩翩,不富以其邻;不戒以孚。

Six in the Fourth: fluttering downward, not relying on wealth, together with the neighbors; without warning, through trust.

翩翩 and 不富以其邻 are syntactically compressed. The final baseline makes explicit the established contrast with reliance on wealth while leaving the neighbor/trust construction close to the source.

六五:帝乙归妹,以祉,元吉。

Six in the Fifth: Di Yi gives his younger sister in marriage. By this blessing, great auspiciousness.

帝乙 is preserved as the historical royal name/title rather than generalized into “the ruler.”

Line 6 · 爻辭

上六:城复于隍,勿用师,自邑告命,贞吝。

Top Six: the city wall falls back into the moat. Do not use the army. From one’s own city, issue the command. Constancy: regret.

城復于隍 is an image of the wall returning to the moat; 自邑告命 carries a polity/command context. These are historical-political images, not present-day military instructions.

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.

Ten Wings provenance / segmentation

registry: ICHING_TEN_WINGS_SOURCE_REGISTRY_V2_20260827

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

A window of opportunity opens: connections soften, path clarifies, resistance lowers.

Advice

Use the period of accord to build, not to become complacent.

Caution

Peace needs tending; harmony without attention becomes habit.

How to read lines

  • • First read Peace 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 Peace 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, Peace asks not “what will definitely happen,” but “which action is ripe now, and which is premature.”

Reflection questions

  • • What is easier now than before?
  • • How can accord be stabilized?
  • • Where should gratitude become action?

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 “Peace” 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.
