In short

The fastest way to learn the I Ching is to move through five layers in order: the question, the primary hexagram, the changing lines, the core glossary, and the trigram structure behind the cast.

Five-step learning path that moves from shaping a question to reading the hexagram, understanding changing lines, using the glossary, and studying the trigrams.
