Terms
Liuyao terms, explained clearly
This is Yarrow’s compact glossary for technical terms that often appear around Liuyao and hexagram reading. The goal is clarity, not pretending to replace a full traditional manual.
How to use this section
- Start with the term page if a word feels unfamiliar in a guide or reading.
- Use the glossary together with how to read a hexagram for structure.
- For examples rather than definitions, browse the new hexagrams section.
- If you are ready to move from terminology into practice, go straight to the reading flow or review how Yarrow works.
