The OD Gua can be obtained by inverting every line of the original Gua. A line in a Gua is known as a Yao. If we use the YIN/YANG representation, we replace every broken line with an unbroken line, and every unbroken line in a Gua with a broken line. If we use the binary representation of the original Gua, we simply replace every "0" with a "1", and every "1" with a "0" to obtain the OD Gua. The names of the Gua are translated by Alfred Huang in "The Complete I Ching". These names may be translated differently by different translators. For example, Alfred Huang translated hexagram 07 (师) as "Multitude", whereas James Legge translated it as "The Army". The I-Ching translation of Richard Wilhelm, rendered in English by Baynes, also translated this word as "The Army". The Collins Chinese-English Dictionary translates the Chinese word (师) as either "teacher" or "division". In a class of its own, Google Translate renders the Chinese word as "Reverend". Some Chinese dictionaries interpret the term as "众人", which is essentially the understanding of Alfred Huang. However, as Chinese terms may have layers of meanings, a single translation may not be able to convey the whole range of meanings in a Chinese word. back to: I Ching
