Numbers & forms

Eight eights: the count of the Yijing’s hexagrams and of other local sixty-fours. The figure set is not this integer under another name.

Also known as 64

Chinese tradition

Sixty-four appears in Chinese tradition.
The Yijing’s received structure is sixty-four hexagrams. A named count of figures in that classic, not eight as the trigram count alone and not a bare large-number dump.
