Lingqi is a serious chapter, referred to as Lingqi Classic. According to Yu Jiaxi's textual research, it should be written by Fawei monk of Xiangcheng Temple in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Sui Shu? The Records of Jingji records "Twelve Spiritual Chess in One Volume". This is the second volume of the orthodox Taoist scriptures, and the income is too mysterious. Its title is Notes of Yan Youming, the Driving Department of Jin Dynasty, and Notes of Cheng Chengtian, the Imperial Adviser of Song Dynasty. Both Yan and He were from the Southern Dynasties. The scripture of this book is about the art of divination. The method uses 12 pieces of special chess pieces, and there are four words "up, down and down" written on the book, each with four pieces. After burning incense and praying for blessings, twelve chess pieces were thrown, which were arranged into hexagrams according to the upper, middle and lower characters when landing, and then referred to the interpretation of scripture to blame good or ill luck. Its scripture lists the names of hexagrams and four-character hexagrams, with a total of 124 hexagrams, all of which are copied from Zhouyi. Yan He's annotation mainly explains the good and bad luck of the divination master, and its explanation is also modeled after Zhouyi. There is "Reading Interpretation" after the annotation, which is more clear than the annotation. Before and after this book, there were prefaces written by Li Yuan, Han Yun, Zhang Wan and Anonymous in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the inheritance, divination methods and rituals of this book were verified. It can be seen that the orthodox Taoist scriptures should have been published in the Southern Song Dynasty.
