Classical imageThe foot
Arousing. Wood in the east. The classical image is the foot, not the channel path itself.
Channels of the element Gallbladder · Liver
The Later Heaven bagua tied to each channel's element. A shiatsu and TCM study frame, not a reading.
A trigram is read from the bottom upward. Two trigrams, one above the other, make one of the 64 hexagrams.
Solid line.
Broken line.
Open the meridian in the index and note its element.
Here are that element's two trigrams: Later Heaven direction and classical image.
Go back to the channel. The trigram image does not locate the point; it frames the element.
South at the top, as on the classical map. Tap a trigram to read it.
Pick the lower trigram and the upper one, or a number from 1 to 64. You get the classical title, not a reading.
Choosing Below
Lower first, then upper. Or browse all 64.
Tap a lower trigram and an upper one — or step through the numbers.
In generating-cycle order: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water.
