Who was the next fortune teller in Shang Zhou Wang?

Jichang

The origin of Zhouyi is Hetu and Luoshu. Legend has it that in ancient times, there appeared a dragon horse with characters on its back in the Yellow River, and a tortoise with characters on its back in Luoshui, and saints made gossip accordingly. At the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wenwang wrote sixty-four hexagrams. Later, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the sage Confucius wrote the Book of Changes. When Qin Shihuang burned books to bury Confucianism, Lisi listed it as a medical divination book.

"Zhou" in Zhouyi refers to Zhou Wenwang, and "Yi" means change. According to ancient books, there are "three changes", namely, linking mountains, returning to Tibet and Zhouyi. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhouyi became popular as a divination book, and it was constantly explained and studied by people, including Confucius. By the Warring States period, there were seven kinds of ten Yi Zhuan, which were called "Ten Wings". Later, the Book of Changes merged into the Book of Changes and became the Book of Changes we see today.
