About the work
The sixth of the eight Yì wěi 易緯 texts gathered as appendix to the Yì-class of the Sìkù quánshū; see KR1a0163 for the broader contextualization. One juàn. The work treats the cosmographic-cosmological sequencing-and-setting (xù zhì 序制) of phenomena ordered from the source-of-Qián (Qián yuán 乾元), drawing on the Yìjīng’s opening hexagram as the source-point of cosmological generation.

Abstract
The work is a compact one-juàn member of the Yì wěi corpus, focusing on cosmological-cosmographic sequencing through the Qián hexagram. The Zhèng Xuán-commentary attribution is conventional and not secure.
