Classical Judgment (卦辞) — 家人卦(第37卦):上巽下离,属Xun。错卦为解,综卦为睽,互卦见未济。

King Wen Sequence #37 (家人 Jiā Rén — Harmonious Household Order) embodies warm wind rising from a well-tended household hearth. Assigned to the Xun Wind Palace (巽宫八卦 · Subtle Penetration) and resonant with Summer Solstice (夏至 · Wu Month), its six-line binary vector (101011) pairs 离 Li (Clinging Radiance) at the root with 巽 Xun (Gentle Penetration) at the crown.

Its Polarity Opposite (Cuo Gua · 错卦) is #40 解 (Spring Thunder Release), its Overturned Inverse (Zong Gua · 综卦) is #38 睽 (Harmonizing Polarities), and its Nuclear Core (Hu Gua · 互卦) reveals #64 未济 (Infinite Open Potential).
