Fortune telling is called fortune telling.

How to use the method in the Book of Changes to calculate hexagrams?

First, find fifty or fifty-five yarrow trees. It doesn't matter if you don't. You can use toothpicks and matchsticks. I usually use Go. Of course, if you play behind closed doors, you can use anything convenient. If you are strong enough, you can also use fifty or fifty-five shots to calculate divination.

In practice, only 49 yuan is enough. If you take fifty dollars at first, take one off. If you take fifty-five at first, take six.

Now begin the first step of divination: divide 49 pieces into left and right groups randomly. Don't underestimate such a simple grouping, which has profound symbolic significance and symbolizes the beginning of chaos and the division of heaven and earth. Thus, these two sets of chess pieces, one symbolizing the sky and the other symbolizing the earth.

Step two: heaven and earth are here. Is it time to find someone?

Yes, any group can take 1 piece (some people say that it can only be taken from the group to the right of the sign bit). This work symbolizes people. In this way, heaven, earth and people are all there. Our ancestors called these three things "three talents".

Step 3: Count the number of pieces symbolizing the sky, and divide this number by 4 to see what the remainder is.

When any number is divisible by 4, there are only four possibilities for the remainder: 1, 2,3, divisible.

In case of division, let's take the remainder as 4. Okay, now take the rest away.

For example, if there are 20 pieces in this group, then: 20 ÷ 4 = 5, and there is no remainder, then we will take 4 as the remainder and remove 4 pieces from these 20 pieces.

Some people will ask, "Why divide by 4? How unlucky this number is! Why not divide by 8? "

The answer is: this is also symbolic, and 4 symbolizes the four seasons of the year here. It seems that the ancients of that era did not think that the number 4 was unlucky, because the whole process of divination in Zhouyi revolved around 4.

Step 4: Draw a tiger according to the chess pieces at the symbol, the same as step 3.

For example, the total number of chess pieces is 49. Remove the symbol 1 first, so: 49- 1 = 48.

These 48 pieces are divided into two groups. The left 20 pieces are just 20÷4, and the remaining 4 pieces are removed, leaving 16 pieces. Now the total number of right groups is: 48-20 = 28. Well, according to the third step, 28 ÷ 4 = 7 is still the result of divisibility, so

Now, the total number of pieces on the right is: 28-4 = 24.

Step 5: Put together 1 chess pieces used to symbolize people in the second step, four chess pieces removed as remainder in the third step, and four chess pieces also removed as remainder in the fourth step. How many are there in all? Very easy to calculate: 1+4+4 = 9.

Note: there are only two possibilities for this number in the fifth step, either 9 or 5. If the number you calculated is neither 9 nor 5, it means that you made a mistake in the previous step, and you can start from the beginning.

Well, from the first step to the fifth step, this set of actions is completed, which is called "one change", which means "the first set of prescribed actions".

Well, didn't you just say that all the pieces removed in the fifth step are "either 9 or 5"? Therefore, after removing the remainders of the left and right groups of chess pieces symbolizing heaven and earth respectively, the total number of remaining chess pieces is 40 or 44.

According to the above example, there are 16 left in the left group and 24 left in the right group, with a total of 16+24 = 40.

From now on, "one change" ends and "two changes" begin. In other words: the second set of prescribed actions began.

The first step of the "second change": mix the left and right pieces left after the end of the "first change" again, and then divide them into two groups at random.

Just now, when our "change" ended, there were 16 left in the left group and 24 left in the right group. Now mix them together, a total of 40, and then randomly divide them into two groups.

The second step of the "second variation": Like the second step of the "first variation", if we remove 1 chess pieces from any group, let's say that we remove 1 chess pieces from the right group. Well, it's heaven, earth and people again

The third step of the "second change": Like the third step of the "first change", count the number of the group of chess pieces (left group) symbolizing the sky, and divide this number by 4 after counting clearly to see what the remainder is.

We assume that this group has 13 pieces, and the algorithm is: 13 ÷ 4 = 3+ 1.

The remainder is 1, and we remove 1 from this group.

Now, the remaining number of this set of pieces is: 13- 1 = 12.

The fourth step of "second reform": the same as the fourth step of "first reform".

If the total number of pieces in the group symbolizing the sky is 13, then the total number of pieces in the group symbolizing the earth (right group) is: 40- 1- 13 = 26.

Reminder: Don't forget why you want to "subtract 1". That "1" is a chess piece symbolizing human beings, and it has been removed in the second step.

Now, divide the total number of right groups by 4: 26 ÷ 4 = 6 plus 2.

As usual, take out two of the 26 pieces in the right group.

The set of pieces on the right is now on the left: 26-2 = 24.

The fifth step of the "second variation": The second step is the same as the fifth step of the "first variation". The second step is used to symbolize the human 1 chess piece, the third step is used to remove the 1 chess piece as the remainder, and the fourth step is also used to remove the two chess pieces together, totaling: 1+65438+.

Note: At this point, there are only two possible answers, either 4 or 8. If the number you get is neither 4 nor 8, it only shows which step you have miscalculated. Let's start over.

My score in this example is 4. At this time, let's take a look at the two groups of chess pieces that symbolize heaven and earth respectively. After removing four pieces, how many pieces are left? Easy to calculate: 40-4 = 36.

At this time, it is necessary to carry out "three changes" like the previous "one change" and "two changes". I'll make it easier this time. I will continue my example: pile up the remaining 36 pieces after the second change, divide them into two groups at random, and then go through five steps:

The first step of "three changes": 36 blocks are randomly divided into left and right groups.

The second step of "three changes": the right group removes 1 piece.

The third step of "three changes": count the number of blocks in the left group, and then divide this number by 4.

Suppose there are 10 pieces in the left group, then: 10 ÷ 4 = 2 is more than 2.

If two blocks are removed as the remainder, there are eight blocks left in this group (10-2 = 8).

The fourth step of "three changes": count the number of pieces in the right group, and then divide this number by 4.

Total number of right groups should be: 36- 1- 10 = 25.

Continue to calculate: 25 ÷ 4 = 6 remainder 1.

Remove the remaining 1 pieces, and the remaining pieces on the right are: 25- 1 = 24.

The fifth step of "three changes": the total number of remaining pieces in the left and right groups is 8+24 = 32.

After "one change", "two changes" and "three changes", the divination work came to an end temporarily.

Now look, I finally have 32 yuan left.

Note: After these three processes are completed, there are only four final figures: 24, 28, 32 and 36.

No matter which of these four numbers you get, try again, do a small operation and divide this number by 4. In my example just now, the final score was 32, so: 32 ÷ 4 = 8.

At this point, we finally came up with a solution.

We did three calculations just now and finally got a number: 8. We need to record this number-you take out a piece of paper and write respectfully at the bottom of this paper: 8.

But, "8", this guy looks like an Arabic numeral, neither yin nor yang. What is it?

Regardless of this problem, we can continue to calculate according to the method of "three changes".

How to continue? One word: repeat! -Put all the 49 pieces together again, then change it again, change it again, change it again, then divide the last number by 4, and write this number on the "8" just now, and the second move is completed.

Now there are two problems to be solved. The first question is: Why do you want to record a new score on "8"? Why can't you write it on the left, right and bottom of "8"?

The answer is: in a divination, the arrangement order is from bottom to top, so the first divination you work out should be placed at the bottom, the second divination should be placed on top of the first divination, and then the third divination should be placed on top of the second divination until. It's like building a six-story building. First cover the first floor, then the second floor, the third floor, and all the way to the top sixth floor.

The second question is: What if the last "divide by 4" is divided by the remainder?

The answer is: there can be no remainder unless there is an error.

Didn't you just say that at the last step of each "three changes", there are only four possibilities for the total number of left and right sets of chess pieces: 24, 28, 32 and 36. Let's see:

24÷4=6

28÷4=7

32÷4=8

36÷4=9

So, the last number is only six, seven, eight and nine, and I just got eight. If I go through another round of "one change", "two changes" and "three changes", I still can't get these four situations.

Why didn't I say it would take more than an hour to calculate a divination? Look, how troublesome it is! It took me a long time to get an "8", that is to say, I just got the first hexagram.

Divination is to work out a complete divination. How many hexagrams does a complete hexagram consist of? Six.

A hexagram is composed of six hexagrams, so since it takes three "changes" to get one hexagram, how many "changes" does it take to get all six hexagrams?

This is too easy to calculate: 3× 6 = 18.

Thirty percent, 180 percent.

Attachment: The position and success of Liuyi. A six-pointed star is counted from bottom to top, 1, 3,5 is the positive position, and 2,4,6 is the negative position. The man is second and fifth, and he is second, neither good nor bad; Take a place in the fifth place, Geely. For women, and vice versa.

Seven divination methods:

1, there is only one change in the six hexagrams calculated. At this time, good or ill luck is judged by this changed word.

2. If there are two changes in the hexagram, then use the two changed words in this hexagram to judge good or bad, and the word with the upper change is the main one.

3. If there are three changes, you can't judge by the words of change. You have to use the words of this hexagram and the changing words, mainly the words of this hexagram.

4. There are four changes. At this time, the two unchanging words of change are used to judge whether it is good or bad.

5. There are five changes, and the good and bad are judged by the words of the changers.

6. There are six changes, and two situations are scored. First, the six hexagrams are all yang hexagrams (constituting dry hexagrams), or the six hexagrams are all yin hexagrams (constituting Kun hexagrams). Then, if it is a dry divination, you can judge good or bad by the word "Yong Jiu" in the dry divination, and if it is a Kun divination, you can use the word "Yong Liu" in the Kun divination. Second, in all the six changes except these two situations, we use the words of change of heart to judge the good or bad luck.

7. None of the six hexagrams has changed. At this time, the word of this hexagram is used to judge good or bad luck.

Ok, now let's pretend that we have repeatedly calculated and worked out the first to sixth numbers in turn. Our records on paper are six numbers from bottom to top: 8, 8, 6, 9, 8, 8.

Aren't these all Arabic numerals? What does it have to do with yin and yang?

Of course it matters!

We divide the four numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9 into odd numbers and even numbers: 7 and 9 are odd numbers, which we call "Yang"; 6 and 8 are even numbers, so we call them "Yin". Specifically, in hexagrams, 7 and 9 are represented by yang, and 6 and 8 are represented by yin. In this way, the "8, 8, 6, 9, 8, 8" arranged from bottom to top just recorded on the paper can be replaced by "Yin, Yin, Yin, Yang, Yin and Yin" arranged from bottom to top, namely:

From "8, 9, 9, 7, 7, 6" to "Yin, Yang, Yang, Yin",

This hexagram has five yin hexagrams, the fourth hexagram is yang hexagram, and the painting is divination hexagram.

You can breathe a sigh of relief Now, we have finally figured out a complete divination!

Can you tell your fortune now?

-Not yet. There is still some work to be done.

Does anyone have any questions: Why did I just ask you to write the numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9 on paper? Wouldn't it be more convenient to directly convert it into yin-yang records?

I say this for a reason: don't think that there are only two kinds of yin and yang, but there are actually four kinds.

These four types are: Old Yin, Shaoyin, Lao Yang and Shaoyang.

These four emotions correspond to the numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9 respectively: 6 is old yin, 8 is young yin, 7 is young yang and 9 is Lao Yang. Take divination as an example. If we only look at the dichotomy of Yin and Yang, the composition of this hexagram is "Yin, Yin, Yin, Yang, Yin, Yin" (the six hexagrams are viewed from bottom to top in turn), but according to this quartile, its composition becomes: "Shaoyin, Shaoyin, Laoyin, Lao Yang, Shaoyin, Shaoyin. (8,8,6,9,8,8。 )

Now it involves an important principle of Zhouyi: the old becomes less and remains unchanged.

What do you mean "old"?

It's like a martial arts expert's move. When the first move is old, you have to change to the second move. So "old" means that things have developed to the end, and it is time to change. So, we now draw a new divination based on the six divination divinations before. In this new hexagram, the old hexagram was changed to Yang hexagram, and the original hexagram was changed to Yin hexagram, while both Shao Yin hexagram and Shao Yang hexagram were copied unchanged. So, on the basis of the idea, a new idea came into being, which is Qian idea.

In this change, we call divination primitive divination, and modesty is the change of thought. This is the origin of the "change of heart" that we often say now.

If you change your mind, you will change your mind. In the original hexagram, the third heart number from bottom to top is 6, which is the old yin and the yang heart. The fourth number is 9, but it becomes yin. Therefore, the third and fourth divinations in divination are called "change of mind" at this time.

At this point, we have another heart, and finally we can predict good and bad luck.

Yang Yao:-; Yin:-

At this point, we have another heart, and finally we can predict good and bad luck. It's not easy!

How to divine? In fact, when seniors come, they all have their own opinions. In the Song Dynasty, Zhu and his student Cai summed up seven articles after careful induction. The situation we are experiencing now belongs to the second of the seven items: if there are two changes in six hexagrams, then we can use the words of these two changes in six hexagrams to judge good or bad, and take the one in the upper position as the change.

It's time to check the Zhouyi. When we open the Book of Changes, let's take it away and just look at it. This part is full of words. What is a statement? Very easy to understand. Many people may have asked for a sign in the temple. There is a sign that says there is only one number. After you get the brand, you should look it up in another place according to the number on the brand, just like looking it up in a dictionary. First of all, you find the word you want to look up from the phonetic glossary, then you can see the explanation of this word on page 78, and then you can turn to page 78 of the dictionary to look it up. For example, the sign you want says "007", you can look for it on a wall full of words in the temple, or find a monk to check the reference book and find the corresponding "007", where several words will be written, such as "good luck, promotion and wealth".
