Zhouyi divination

The Western Han Dynasty added the concept of five elements to the Zhou Dynasty. At this stage, it can be said that the method of divination has developed very well, that is to say, from today's point of view, all the necessary elements are basically complete.

Yijing divination

This formulation seems a bit strange. Are other methods not based on the Book of Changes? In fact, the word "Book of Changes" here emphasizes that after divination, the basis for judging good or ill luck is the scripture of the Book of Changes (of course, the Book of Changes, which was later directly called the Book of Changes), that is, the words of divination and written words.

Divination methods in Zhouyi-Zhu Qian and copper coins.

The Copper Coin Method and the Yi Gua Method in Zhouyi

According to legend, Qian Qi Law was created by Guiguzi during the Warring States Period, which prevailed in the Tang Dynasty and was "carried forward" in the Song Dynasty. The way to make money is to ask for three dollars instead of fifty stems of yarrow. Is to take three identical copper coins and throw them on the ground in turn to get the divination you want. It is best to use copper coins with square holes, because there is an ancient saying that the sky is round and the place is round, and the Fiona Fang of copper coins can represent heaven and earth respectively. This method is one of the simplest and most accurate, but I personally think that mowing should be the most correct. Mowing is called playing big hexagrams. If you really want to get a more correct result, it is better to mow the grass. If it's for fun, you can cut money.

The accepted usage of copper coins is that the side with words is horizontal (yin) and the side without words is yang. Throwing six times, three of which were Lao Yang, with his back up, called "heavy", marked with a zero, representing Lao Yang's stubborn nine, and recorded as "-". According to the change principle of 1969, Lao Yang's change was recorded as "-". On three sides of the front, the old Yin is called Jiao and marked with X, indicating that the old Yin is stubborn to six and marked with "-". According to the principle that the old yin is stubborn to six, it is marked as "-". On both sides are Shaoyang, which is called "single" and marked with "-",representing Shaoyang and Qi. Two backs and one right are shaoyin, and two opposites and one right are called "demolition" and marked with "-",which represents shaoyin and eight.
