Revolution

Hexagram Revolution shows where the situation asks not for fear-based guessing, but for the exact rhythm of change.

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.

革：巳日乃孚，元亨。利贞。悔亡。

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

Revolution: on the Si day, then there is trust. Originating and free passage. Constancy is beneficial. Regret vanishes.

巳日 is textually and calendrically difficult, often interpreted through variant/phonetic readings. The draft preserves “Si day” instead of silently resolving the dispute.

Line 1 · 爻辭

初九：巩用黄牛之革。

Initial Nine: make it firm with the hide of a yellow ox.

黄牛之革 is material/historical imagery. The draft stays concrete and does not import later symbolic associations into translation.

六二：巳日乃革之，征吉，无咎。

Six in the Second: on the Si day, then change it. To set out is auspicious. No blame.

The same 巳日 ambiguity as the guaci is preserved consistently.

Line 3 · 爻辭

九三：征凶，贞厉，革言三就，有孚。

Nine in the Third: to set out is ominous; constancy is dangerous. Words of change are brought to completion three times; then there is trust.

三就 can mean repeated completion/confirmation; draft keeps the threefold procedural sense.

Line 4 · 爻辭

九四：悔亡，有孚改命，吉。

Nine in the Fourth: regret vanishes. There is trust in changing the mandate. Auspicious.

改命 is a political-cosmological phrase; the translation does not equate it with a modern personal “destiny reset.”

九五：大人虎变，未占有孚。

Nine in the Fifth: the great person changes like a tiger. Before divination, there is trust.

虎变 is kept as the animal transformation image; later moral symbolism belongs to commentary.

Line 6 · 爻辭

上六：君子豹变，小人革面，征凶，居贞吉。

Top Six: the noble person changes like a leopard; the small person changes the face. To set out is ominous. Dwelling in constancy is auspicious.

革面 is kept as “change the face,” leaving whether it means outward conformity to interpretation.

Ten Wings · 十翼 · later commentary

Mapped commentary context

10/10 remote pinned · 0/10 local validated
彖傳下 · Tuan Commentary II象傳下 · Image Commentary II

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

The theme sits in the field of revolution: it is important to see what has ripened and what still needs form.

Advice

Take one clear step, name the boundary, and do not turn the sign into a guarantee of outcome.

Caution

I Ching does not replace legal, medical, financial, or psychological help.

How to read lines

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

Reflection questions

  • • Where is the movement here, and where is resistance?
  • • Which small step fits the timing?
  • • What must be accepted as fact?

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 “Revolution” 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.
