家人 · Jiā Rén — Harmonious Household Order
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) · 二世卦 (World Line 2 / Response Line 5) and resonant with Late Spring & Early Summer Wind (立夏巽风 · 清明—小满), its six-line binary vector (101011) pairs 离 Li (Clinging Radiance) at the root with 巽 Xun (Gentle Penetration) at the crown.
《大象》：風自火出，家人；君子以言有物，而行有恆。 ｜ 《彖传》：家人，女正位乎內，男正位乎外，男女正，天地之大義也。家人有嚴君焉，父母之謂也。父父，子子，兄兄，弟弟，夫夫，婦婦，而家道正；正家而天下定矣。
Visual Archetype: courtyard hearth with fragrant cedar smoke. When Wind / Wood (Wood) interacts with Fire (Fire), the primary strategic mandate centers on establishing clear domestic roles and financial harmony. 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).
巽宫 · 世爻第2爻 / 应爻第5爻
