What is the formula for calculating the number of iron plates?

The magic number of iron plate is a trick carefully designed by cunning artists from the middle of Ming Dynasty to the middle of Qing Dynasty. For hundreds of years, scams have become more and more complicated, so complicated that outsiders cannot easily crack them.

There are also differences between the southern school and the northern school in the method of "measuring time" for iron plate divination. The southern school generally focuses on calculating the evolution with the solar branch and the time branch, while the northern school focuses on the moon column and the time branch. Its evolution process is inseparable from the changes of continuous days and the number of ten-day branches and twelve branches.

After an accurate examination, the provisions are accurately calculated by adding the heavenly stems and earthly branches number to the changes in the past few days. The authentic iron plate number should have 20 volumes, some branches, and most of them use 12 and 8 volumes.

Due to the lack of some vertical volumes, even if the "timing" is accurate, the calculated reserve is related to the real volume. The southern faction of the iron plate Shintoism spread to Hong Kong from the mainland with its predecessors who flowed to Hong Kong from the south, while the northern faction of the iron plate Shintoism has almost been lost in modern times.
