Are the Zhouyi divination methods basically the same as these two methods?
1. The method of divination
This method is an ancient divination method in the Book of Changes.
Dayan’s number is fifty, and its use is ninety-nine. Divide it into two to symbolize two, hang one to symbolize three, dig it into four to symbolize the four o'clock, and return it to the strange place to dig it out to symbolize the leap. Five years old is a leap again, so it is cut again and then hanged. The sky is one and the earth is two; the sky is three and the earth is four; the sky is five and the earth is six; the sky is seven and the earth is eight; the sky is nine and the earth is ten. The number of heaven is five, and the number of earth is five. The five figures are in harmony with each other. The number of heaven is twenty, there are five, the number of earth is thirty, and the number of heaven and earth is fifty, there are five. This is why ghosts and gods can change. The strategy of Qian has six in two hundred and ten, the strategy of Kun has four in one hundred and forty, and the strategy of Fan has sixty in three hundred, on the current day. The strategies of the two articles amount to one thousand five hundred and twenty, which should be regarded as the number of all things. Therefore, the four camps form the "Yi", eight out of ten of them become hexagrams, and trigrams become small ones. Introduce it and extend it, touch it and grow it, and all the things in the world can be accomplished. Showing Taoism and virtues makes it easy for customers to entertain and bless the gods.
2. Coin method
Due to the cumbersome and time-consuming operation of the copper coin method, a man named Jing Fangyi invented this copper coin method in the Han Dynasty. He once used Three five-baht coins from the Han Dynasty. In modern times, we can use three 1 yuan coins instead. The positive side of each coin is yang and the tail side is yin. Throw the coin down and the same four situations will occur. Two yin and one yang (referred to as shaoyang); two yang and one yin (referred to as shaoyin); three yang (referred to as old yang); three yin (referred to as old yin). It is also done by repeatedly throwing six times to get a hexagram, but it is much faster than the method of throwing. However, it should also be pointed out that although the results seem to be the same, the probabilities are completely different, so the copper coin method cannot replace the yarrow method.
3. The Zhouyi divination is guided by the Yin-Yang and Bagua Xiangnu theories of the Zhouyi, combined with the theory of stems, branches and five elements to create a unique and magical prediction method. Zhouyi divination is a profound knowledge and a culture worthy of study.
Simple way of fortune telling in I Ching
1. Prepare fifty wooden sticks, which represents the number fifty of Dayan.
2. Pull out one to represent the escaped one.
3. Then use the remaining forty-nine wooden sticks to hold between your fingers, and then pull out some more.
4. The process is very complicated, and the remaining sticks can correspond to different hexagrams.
5. Take 6 coins and toss them one by one. The positive side is yang and the tail is yin. Arrange them randomly and then interpret the hexagrams according to the Book of Changes.
How to tell fortunes in the I Ching
How to use Zhouyi to tell fortunes
1. Steps to change:
Step 1: The forty-nine chess pieces are randomly divided into two groups on the left and right, which symbolizes the beginning of chaos, and the world is divided into two, with one side being the sky and the other side being the earth.
Step 2: As long as there is heaven and earth, there must be people, so if you remove any chess piece from a group, this chess piece will become a person. Then three talents are formed.
Step 3: Count how many chess pieces there are in the group that symbolizes the sky, and then divide the number by four to see what the remainder is. There are usually four types of remainders obtained from four, namely 1, 2, 3, and integer divisibility. Then four can be used as the remainder when dividing by integers. For example, if 20 is divided by 4, we get 5, and there is no remainder. Finally, four chess pieces are removed. (The four here symbolize the four seasons of the year).
Step 4: There are forty-nine chess pieces in total, minus the one representing the person, the remaining forty-eight pieces are left. There are twenty chess pieces on the left. In the third step, four have been removed, so sixteen are left. The chess piece on the right is forty-eight minus twenty, which equals twenty-eight. Then according to the third step, divide twenty-eight by four to get seven. Then the remainder of the chess piece on the right is four, so twenty-eight minus four remains two. fourteen.
Step 5: Add together the chess piece used to symbolize people in the second step, the four chess pieces removed in the third step, and the four chess pieces removed in the fourth step, and the number is nine. Note (the final result is either 5 or 9, if it is neither, you calculated it wrong).
Corresponding to the two results of the fifth step, 5 and 9, the final total number of chess pieces is either 44 or 40.
2. After the first change is completed, start the subsequent second and third changes.
The second change is to add the remaining chess pieces from the left and right groups of the first change to get a count of 40, and then randomly divide them into two groups. Repeating the second step of the first change, we take one from the right group as a person. In the third step of repeating a change, the number of the group of chess pieces symbolizing the sky is 12. In the fourth step of repeating a change, the number of pieces in the group that obtains the symbolic land is 24. Finally, after repeating the fifth step in the first change, the final number of chess pieces is 36. At this point, the second change ends, and then the third change begins. The third change is also calculated according to the method of one change and two changes. The final number of chess pieces is 32.
Therefore, the final result is 27, 28, 32, 36, and then randomly divide a number by 4, just like 32 divided by 4 equals 8. Then a Yao is calculated here. Yao is the basic unit of hexagram. Yao is divided into two types, one is Yang Yao with the symbol - and the other is Yin Yao with the symbol - -. The six lines are placed together to form a hexagram. Then record the 8 obtained by performing one, two and three changes. After re-evolving the chess pieces, record the final number above the 8. Then continue to perform six one, two and three changes, and the numbers are stacked in 6 layers. Since it takes three changes to obtain one line, the final six lines require 3 times 6 equal to 18 changes.
The method of distinguishing Yin and Yang Yao is to combine the odd and even numbers of the obtained numbers to distinguish them. Odd numbers are Yang Yao and even numbers are Yin Yao. Then the numbers corresponding to six changes of one, two and three are 8, 8, 6, 9, 8, 8, so the yin and yang of Yao should be yin, yin, yang, yin, yin
Yin and Yang Yao can be divided into four types, namely Lao Yin, Shao Yin, Lao Yang and Shao Yang. The four numbers correspond respectively: 6 Lao Yin; 8 Shao Yin; 7 Shao Yang; 9 Lao Yang. Take the Yu hexagram just now as an example. If we only look at the dichotomy of Yin and Yang, the composition of this hexagram is: Yin, Yin, Yin, Yang, Yin, Yin. But if we look at it according to this four-part division, its composition It becomes: Shaoyin, Shaoyin, Laoyin, Laoyang, Shaoyin, Shaoyin.
There is an important principle in the "Book of Changes" that it is inconvenient to become old and young. The "old" in it means that things should change at the end of their development. Now let’s draw a new hexagram according to the order of the six lines of the Hexagram just now. In this new hexagram, change the old Yin lines in the original Hexagram into Yang lines, change the original old Yang lines into Yin lines, and change the Shao Yin lines. Both Yao and Shaoyang Yao are copied unchanged. As a result, a new hexagram was created based on the Yu hexagram, which is the Qian hexagram. We call Yu hexagram the original hexagram and Qian hexagram the change hexagram. This is where the change of heart that we often say in common saying comes from.
There are changes in the hexagrams and there are changes in the lines. Originally, the number in the third line from bottom to top in the Yu hexagram was 6, which is the old yin, and became the yang line; the number in the fourth line was 9, which was the old yang, and became the yin line. . Therefore, the third and fourth lines in Yu Gua are both called Bian Yao at this time. At this point in the calculation, we can know the changes in fortune and fortune.
How to learn fortune telling from the Book of Changes
There are three main steps in Zhouyi's fortune-telling for himself: starting the hexagram, establishing the hexagram, and interpreting the hexagram.
It is generally better to use ancient copper coins to start the hexagram, especially Qianlong Tongbao. Three copper coins are thrown at the same time and counted as one line. Six times to form a hexagram, this is the step of starting a hexagram.
Then the hexagram is established. According to the six lines obtained from the hexagram, the corresponding hexagram is found, recorded, and then the hexagram is found.
The last step is to interpret the hexagrams, which is also the most important step. Based on the things you want to divination, combine the hexagrams to analyze the development trend of the things and help make decisions.
The above is all about how to use the Zhouyi to tell fortunes, and the Zhouyi divination methods are basically these two methods, as well as the related content about how to use the Zhouyi to tell fortunes. I hope it can help you.
