What are the methods and principles of divination?

The Book of Changes is a divination book, and the method of divination is also related to annotations. Therefore, the method of divination will be briefly introduced. In ancient times, fifty yarrows were used for divination, but now bamboo sticks are used instead. In addition, be prepared to write down the paper and pen for employment.

First of all, a simple snapshot method.

Fifty bamboo sticks, get rid of them first-the root is Tai Chi.

The left and right hands each hold 49 bamboo sticks, and the right hand pulls out one and puts it on the little finger of the left hand.

Count the bamboo sticks in your left hand with your right hand, and count out eight sticks. Add the rest with the root of your little finger, and you will get the next one at a time, that is, dry hexagrams, two hexagrams, exchange hexagrams, three hexagrams, separation hexagrams, shock hexagrams, five hexagrams, easy hexagrams, six hexagrams, kangua, seven hexagrams, gen hexagrams, eight trigrams and Kun hexagrams.

With 49 bamboo sticks, the same number, you can get hexagrams.

So there will be no "change". Then, divide the 49 signatures on the left, take out one from the right hand, put it on the little finger of the left hand, and count the six signatures of the left hand until it is finished. The remaining little finger adds up to an instant, which is the first, second, third and third.

The fourth is the fourth, the fifth is the fifth, the sixth is "change", and then "change" is the word.

Second, throwing money method

This is a divination method without bamboo sticks. According to the principles mentioned in Yi Li Justice and Guan Shili Li in the Tang Dynasty, the situation is as follows:

Throw it away with three coppers.

When the two fronts are back, it is shaoyang.

When the two backs are in front of each other, there is less yin.

When it is followed by three, it becomes Lao Yang.

When there are three heads, it is a change of yin ××.

After six times, you can get all the hexagrams from bottom to top. When one of the six ideas "changes", take a look at "ci"; When there are more than two changes, look at the "hexagrams".
