I Ching Flashcards for Pleco

I was working through my Quizlet flashcards and decided to also learn the Chinese titles, so I made some flashcards on Pleco, the Chinese-English Dictionary App.

Unfortunately Pleco doesn’t render the hexagrams on iOS, which would have been really slick.

In the end, I produced two flashcard sets, both exported as txt files.

This first set includes the King Wen hexagram number, the Trigrams, and Judgement (Gregory Richter translation), as well as the (modern) Dictionary Definition of the words. (If you open it up, you’ll notice an odd character peppered throughout the file – this character is used by Pleco to designate line breaks on the card.)

The second is just a list of all the Chinese words that was used for these titles. This is intended to tie into the Pleco dictionary and does not include its own definitions. I produced this set because making custom cards by adding I Ching info took out the formatting that made the standard cards more readable.

Have fun!
