Original author’s interpretation summary
The author classifies Li as six clash and Lu as six harmony, interpreting clash changing to harmony as separation followed by reunion. This is whole-hexagram classification, not equating a single branch combination with a marriage outcome.
Outcome reported in the book
The text records that the marriage was restored in the third month of the following year. This is only the author’s retrospective statement, without marriage documents, personal details or a year for independent verification.
Site review boundaries
- Only line one is old yang. Recalculation changes Li to Lu, matching the text.
- Li as six clash and Lu as six harmony follow this chapter’s whole-hexagram convention and are recorded separately from individual branch combinations and clashes.
- A historical marriage case does not predict modern relationship developments or replace the people’s communication and autonomous decisions.
Reading boundaries
Reported outcomes represent the original author’s account, not independent historical verification. This case is not an automatic interpretation template for a user’s present result.
Topic tags identify structures involved in this case, not divinatory efficacy verified by the site.
Working translation of the site’s Chinese editorial case review, not a translation of the classical source. Native-language review is pending; original source names and locators remain in Chinese.
Six clashes
Fixed branch-pair implementation
The site separates clashes between individual line branches, clashes of month or day references with line branches, and the traditional six-clash hexagram classification. Six fixed branch pairs are calculable, but these different levels cannot be merged just because they share a name.
Six clash is a structural term, not an automatic statement of separation, failure or a change in illness.
Six combinations
Fixed branch-pair implementation
The site calculates six fixed branch combinations and separates day combinations, combinations between line branches, and the traditional six-harmony hexagram classification. A case describing a six-harmony hexagram changing into a six-clash hexagram refers to whole-hexagram classification, not a replacement for individual branch relations.
No phase transformation is inferred. The name six harmony does not automatically determine relationships, marriage, transactions or other real-world outcomes.
