In the Book of Changes (Yijing), there are the tuan judgments and the xiang judgments. According to the Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji), in his later years, Confucius loved the Book of Changes, and compiled the tuan judgments, the xi judgments, the xiang judgments, the discourse on the trigrams, and the wenyan commentary. In the Book of Changes (Yijing), in the chapter on the xi judgments, the tuan judgment explains the hexagram image. The commentary states that the tuan judgment summarizes the meaning of a hexagram. It also refers to talent and virtue, where material indicates talent and conduct. The tuan judgment explains the nature and quality that constitute the hexagram image, used to synthesize the meaning of the hexagram. According to the Correct Meaning of the Zhou Changes (Zhouyi Zhengyi), tuan means to judge. It determines the meaning of a hexagram, thus it is called tuan. Pronounced shi (rising tone).
