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

Dispersion: free passage. The king comes to the ancestral temple. It is beneficial to cross the great river. Constancy is beneficial.

The temple formula is retained as ritual-political source context.

九二:涣奔其机,悔亡。

Nine in the Second: in dispersion, he runs to his support. Regret vanishes.

机 may be a bench/table/support; “support” preserves function without false furniture precision.

六三:涣其躬,无悔。

Six in the Third: dispersing his own self. No regret.

躬 is the embodied self/person; interpretation belongs outside translation.

六四:涣其群,元吉。涣有丘,匪夷所思。

Six in the Fourth: dispersing his group. Great auspiciousness. From dispersion there is a mound — not what ordinary thought can conceive.

涣有丘,匪夷所思 is difficult; “mound” and “ordinary thought” are deliberately close and provisional.

九五:涣汗其大号,涣王居,无咎。

Nine in the Fifth: dispersing sweat with a great proclamation; dispersing the king’s dwelling. No blame.

涣汗其大号,涣王居 is highly compressed and has major interpretive history; the draft does not insert later political theory.

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

Rigidity begins to recede: old tension can soften.

Advice

Speak softer, reduce contraction, move energy out of stagnation.

Caution

Do not dissolve important boundaries together with conflict.

How to read lines

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

Reflection questions

  • • What is ready to soften?
  • • Which boundary is still needed?
  • • How to reduce tension without surrender?

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 “Dispersion” 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.
