Zhouyi (a wise guide to predicting the future)

Zhouyi is an important ancient book in China, which is known as the "Way of Changes". Based on the sixty-four hexagrams, it helps people to predict future changes and guide their actions through the interpretation of hexagrams. In today's society, we are facing a rapidly changing world, and forecasting the future has become a wise demand. Guided by the words of Zhouyi, this paper discusses how to use Zhouyi to predict the future and help us make wise decisions.

Understand Zhouyi

First of all, we need to understand the basic concepts of Zhouyi. The Book of Changes consists of sixty-four hexagrams, each of which consists of six hexagrams, and each hexagram has two states of yin and yang. Yin is indicated by □ and Yang by ■. Gua Ci is the explanation of the whole hexagram, and Yi Ci is the explanation of each hexagram. Through the interpretation of hexagrams, we can get guidance about the future.

Step 1: Ask questions

Before we use Zhouyi to predict the future, we need to be clear about our own problems first. This question can be about work, study, feelings, health and so on. Try to be concise when asking questions, and don't have too many details. For example, we can ask, "How should I deal with my current job problem?"

Step 2: Throw three dollars.

Investing money is a common method of Zhouyi prediction. We can use coins or something with two sides. Throw these items three times and record the positive and negative results of each time. The front can represent yang, and the back can represent yin. According to the results of three investments, we can get a stubborn state, and then find the corresponding text in the Book of Changes.

Step 3: Interpret rude remarks.

We need to read it carefully after we get it. Yi words usually consist of two sentences, each of which contains four words. These four words represent a state or change. Through the interpretation of these words, we can understand the present situation and future trends. At the same time, we can also refer to hexagrams to understand the meaning of the whole hexagrams and its relevance to current issues.

Step 4: Comprehensive analysis

After reading all the notes, comprehensive analysis is needed. You can arrange all the words into six figures. According to the state of each of the six hexagrams, a complete hexagram can be obtained. Through the interpretation of hexagrams, we can get a deeper understanding and guidance.
