Beginners, which is better, plum blossom or six hexagrams?

Plum blossoms are very elastic. You need more inspiration and integration. There are many formulaic things in six hexagrams, and six hexagrams is also a method of China's many skills. Beginners mainly use six hexagrams.

The ancient books don't look very easy to understand. I suggest you take a look at Mr. Zhu's "China Shake Money and Valley Lecture Notes", which is very good and well organized. You can search online.
