THEY ALSO COME WITH A BAG TO STORE THEM IN, AS WELL AS DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO USE THEM AND THE MEANINGS OF THEM.Trigrams The solid line represents yang, the creative principle. The open line represents yin, the receptive principle. These principles are also represented in a common circular symbol (?), known as taijitu (???), but more commonly known in the west as the yin-yang (??) diagram, expressing the idea of complementarity of changes: when Yang is at top, Yin is increasing, and the reverse. In the following lists, the trigrams and hexagrams are represented using a common textual convention, horizontally from left-to-right, using '|' for yang and '¦' for yin, rather than the traditional bottom-to-top. In a more modern usage, the numbers 0 and 1 can also be used to represent yin and yang, being read left-to-right. There are eight possible trigrams (?? baguà):   Trigram Figure Binary Value Name Translation: Wilhelm[3], others Image in Nature [4] Direction [5] Family Relationship [6] Body Part [7] Attribute [8] Stage/ State [9] Animal [10] 1 ? 111 ? qián the Creative, Force heaven, aether ? northwest father head strong creative horse 2 ? 110 ? duì the Joyous, Open swamp, marsh ? west third daughter mouth pleasure tranquil (complete devotion) sheep 3 ? 101 ? lí the Clinging, Radiance fire ? south second daughter eye light-giving, dependence clinging, clarity, adaptable pheasant 4 ? 100 ? zhèn the Arousing, Shake thunder ? east first son foot inciting movement initiative dragon 5 ? 011 ? xùn the Gentle, Ground wind ? wood southeast first daughter thigh penetrating gentle entrance fowl 6 ? 010 ? kan the Abysmal, Gorge water ? north second son ear dangerous in-motion pig 7 ? 001 ? gèn Keeping Still, Bound mountain ? northeast third son hand resting, stand-still completion wolf, dog 8 ? 000 ? kun the Receptive, Field earth ? southwest mother belly devoted, yielding receptive cow The first three lines of the hexagram, called the lower trigram, are seen as the inner aspect of the change that is occurring. The upper trigram (the last three lines of the hexagram), is the outer aspect. The change described is thus the dynamic of the inner (personal) aspect relating to the outer (external) situation. Thus, hexagram 04 ¦|¦¦¦| Enveloping, is composed of the inner trigram ? Gorge, relating to the outer trigram ? Bound. [edit] Hexagram Lookup Table Upper → Lower ↓ ||| (?) Qian Heaven |¦¦ (?)

Each hexagram's common translation is accompanied by the corresponding R. Wilhelm translation, which is the source for the Unicode names. Hexagram R.
