Meaning and Context
Xun Trigram is an encyclopedia term in I Ching and divination. It names a specific layer of the system; read it by checking the trigram or hexagram form, line position, changing lines, question focus, and reading context, then compare it with Trigram, Eight Trigrams, Hexagram, Zhen Trigram so the entry explains what the term means before it becomes advice.
Source Context
Xun Trigram belongs to the vocabulary of I Ching and divination. A source-aware note should first define the system layer, then show which evidence is checked (the trigram or hexagram form, line position, changing lines, question focus, and reading context) and only after that describe practical use or cautions.
How It Works
To understand Xun Trigram, identify its system layer and compare Trigram, Eight Trigrams, Hexagram, Zhen Trigram. The practical question is not whether the word appears, but what the trigram or hexagram form, line position, changing lines, question focus, and reading context says in this case and how much weight that evidence deserves.

In FateFolio
In a FateFolio divination reading, Xun Trigram should be used as an explanatory anchor: define the term, show the observed evidence from the trigram or hexagram form, line position, changing lines, question focus, and reading context, and point to the next related section rather than turning the term into a one-line verdict.
