What is the relationship between Daoism and Yijing?

Daoism and Yijing are ancient divination in China, which play an important role in China traditional culture and divination. Although they have different theoretical systems and methods, they also have certain connections and relationships.

First of all, Daoism and Yijing are both representative methods in divination. Daoism is an ancient divination in China, which is mainly used to predict good or bad luck, predict the future and guide decision-making. The Book of Changes is one of China's ancient philosophical classics, and it is also a divination. It predicts good luck, good weather and good fortune through the changes of yin and yang and gossip.

Secondly, the evil spirits in Daoism are related to the eight diagrams in the Book of Changes. The gods and demons in Taoism, the eight diagrams and mathematics in the Book of Changes all infer good or bad luck and predict the future through the knowledge of astronomy, geography and mathematics. Evil spirits in Daoism analyze good fortune and ill fortune through heavenly stems and earthly branches and the Five Elements Theory, while the Eight Diagrams in Yijing infer good fortune and ill fortune through the relationship between Yin and Yang changes and Eight Diagrams.

In addition, Daoism and Yijing also have some cross applications in divination. For example, the evil spirits such as Ziweixing and Tianjing in Daoism are closely related to the gossip such as Gan Kun and Zhen Xun in the Book of Changes, and are often used together to speculate good or ill luck and predict the future.

Therefore, it can be said that Shu and Yijing are two important branches of traditional divination in China, and there is a certain connection and cross-application between them.
