Detailed explanation of divination methods in Yijing

What are the methods of divination in the Book of Changes? What is your overall understanding of fortune telling? With these questions, let's take a look at the divination methods in the Book of Changes. I hope you can have a more comprehensive understanding of fortune telling after reading it.

Classification of Divination Methods in Zhouyi

The first type: I ching 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.

According to the method of divination, there are two kinds: large number of divination, that is, divination with 50 pieces of grass (shi 1); The second is the well-known money divination, which uses three copper coins to calculate divination (of course, after divination with copper coins, you can also use six hexagrams or plum blossoms to explain the analysis, which is another matter).

Using this method, you need to be very familiar with the hexagrams in the original Book of Changes, and at the same time be very skilled in the analogy of Yi Xiang.

To use it freely. The second type: five elements divination

This method combines the concepts of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and some also combine the factors of heavenly stems and earthly branches.

There are mainly three kinds: the big six expensive occupation method, the six expensive occupation method, and the plum blossom easy number I often use.

This method judges the quality according to the birth date and grams of the five elements. In general, you don't need to refer to the original Zhouyi.

The third type; Constellation divination

This method is very common, and it is the most common one in the streets (including TV dramas), and its forms are also various. However, the essence is the same. They all write a meaningful signature on a piece of paper or bamboo stick in advance, and then extract and select these signatures in some way. There are usually people who specialize in interpreting these signatures.

For example, some people ask for a sign face to face, some people peck the sign with birds (called picking birds, which is different from picking birds with plum blossoms), or divination with playing cards, and there are other methods.

This method is the most common among people, mainly because it is easy to master and because it is short, flat and fast. If you use the "Great Liu Ren" or "Six hexagrams" method to help others calculate divination in the street, please wait until you finish the analysis and explanation.

I'm afraid it will take a long time, and I'm afraid the people who ask for help have already left impatiently.

The fourth method: other methods.

There are mainly Taiyi and Qimen Dunga. These methods are the so-called unique skills, extensive and profound, and of course they cannot be ignored. Because I don't know much about it, I just mention it and apologize to those who know it. If there are any omissions in other methods, I also hope that Mr. Wang will add and correct me.

Nowadays, many people in the society often come to online self-help divination (operating on the web page by themselves) to directly produce results. This kind of divination belongs to sign divination, which I believe many people have used. These results are directly generated by computer programs.

At present, the commonly used divination methods are six hexagrams and plum blossoms, and some people use methods such as Qimen and Liuren. It can also be said that each has its own chances of winning, and a hundred flowers blossom.

The first operation:

1. 49 people were randomly divided into group A and group B. (divided into two groups)

2. Take one from Group A and put it between two fingers of the left hand. (Hang one like three)

3. Group A is divided into four groups. ("four times, four times")

4. The rest of Group A is one or two or three or four. If there is no remainder, take out four. ) Put this remainder between the two fingers of the left hand. (Strange as a boudoir)

5. Group B is divided into four groups. (Give it four more times, say four times)

6. the remainder of group b is one or two or three or four, and this remainder is also placed between the two fingers of the left hand.

The theory of nature and nurture predicted by Zhouyi

Predicting the quality of things with congenital divination is often based on the comparative judgment of divination images, and Zhouyi Ancient Classics's divination is not commonly used. Divination methods from the day after tomorrow are used to predict good luck or bad luck. In addition to looking at the changing proportion and relationship of divination, we also use words and sometimes divination. Why? Because the innate divination method calculates the divination numbers before it becomes divination, and divination begins with numbers. At this time, there was no Zhouyi, but there was the Zhouyi Principle, which was the principle before Zhouyi was written. Because there were no hexagrams in Zhouyi at that time, we only used hexagrams or images to infer good or bad luck, instead of the hexagrams in Zhouyi. The law of acquired divination is to obtain divination first, and then predict and infer good or bad luck according to the proportion and relationship of divination, which is the principle after the Book of Changes was written. Since the Book of Changes is used, the divination method of the day after tomorrow must use the rhetoric of the ancient book of Changes, and sometimes use divination words to predict and infer good or bad luck.

The difference between acquired divination and congenital divination lies in the different number of divination they use. Now, the numbers that most people use are Kanyi, Kuner, Zhensan, Xunsi, Zhongwu, Liu Gan, Duiqi, Genba and the day after tomorrow. Probably when the ancient sages drew hexagrams for Zhouyi at that time, they started with Taiji, Liangqi, Four Elephants and Eight Diagrams and formed their own innate hexagrams: Cognac, Dui, Li San, Zhensi, Xunwu, Liu Kan, Genqi and Kumba. Therefore, when we are divining, we often use congenital divination and less use acquired divination. At the same time, modern people start divination by the method of the day after tomorrow, often without adding time. After getting a divination, what they get is just a trick, not to mention the principle of flexibility, so mistakes are often inevitable. Therefore, when we use the method of divination the day after tomorrow, we must add the time, which is in line with the principle of divination the day after tomorrow.

The method of determining the reaction period of congenital divination is also different from that of acquired divination. Judging the expiration date by innate divination is often determined by divination. If it is divination, because it belongs to gold, then the date should be set in Geng Yue, New Day or the golden day in the Five Elements (such as Shenri and Unitary Day). In other words, the time to do it should be set on garrison day and sea day, because it is northwest in the direction of gossip, and the garrison and sea are also northwest; Or the exchange period is set on a single day or a single time. For another example, the dates of earthquakes and disasters should be set on the first and second days of the first day, and the days when the five elements belong to trees (such as cloudy days and mau days), or earthquake divination should be set on mau days or mau days, and disaster divination should be set on Chen days or Chen hours, and so on. The legal due date of divination from the day after tomorrow is mostly determined by the number of divinations and the number of overtime hours, while the due date of things is determined according to the posture of the diviner walking, lying, sitting and standing or the mood of the diviner at that time. The reaction period should be determined by the method of adding hours to hexagrams, which should be short-term rather than long-term, and there is no need to decompose it into long-term. There are many complicated situations, and it is necessary to judge the expected date of delivery by combining the number of congenital hexagrams and the number of acquired hexagrams, and we can't stick to one end. Generally speaking, in the process of divination, the reason is clear. We only need to use the principle of mutual change of body and function in the whole divination and refer to the hexagrams in Zhouyi. Today's people judge good or bad luck by divination the day after tomorrow, but according to the time arrangement of 60 flowers, they use the time of the occupation day, the stars in the direction, the broken moon, defeat, empty death and disappearance to help infer good or bad luck. How wrong it is. Because there is no interference from the Book of Changes in the process of choosing calendar images, we can't use those terrible horoscopes and terms to help us decide good or bad.

Sometimes, hexagrams are also used to predict and infer good luck or bad luck. The difference between acquired divination and congenital divination lies in the different number of divination they use. Now, the numbers that most people use are Kanyi, Kuner, Zhensan, Xunsi, Zhongwu, Liu Gan, Duiqi, Genba and the day after tomorrow. Probably when the ancient sages drew hexagrams for Zhouyi at that time, they started with Taiji, Liangqi, Four Elephants and Eight Diagrams and formed their own innate hexagrams: Cognac, Dui, Li San, Zhensi, Xunwu, Liu Kan, Genqi and Kumba.

After getting a divination, what they get is just a trick, not to mention the principle of flexibility, so mistakes are often inevitable. Therefore, when we use the method of divination the day after tomorrow, we must add the time, which is in line with the principle of divination the day after tomorrow.

The method of determining the reaction period of congenital divination is also different from that of acquired divination.
