Three Methods Intro
◈Liu Yao · Intro
【Full name】Liu Yao (Na Jia / Coin Casting)
【Origin】Originated from Jing Fang of the Western Han, refined through the Tang and Song. A major branch of Zhou Yi prediction, colloquially called 'coin shaking'. Uses coins in place of yarrow stalks, simplifying the ancient method while keeping a rigorous system.
【Principle】Three coins are shaken six times to form six lines (bottom to top). Each throw yields one of four states: Old Yin (6), Young Yang (7), Young Yin (8), or Old Yang (9), composing the primary and changed hexagrams. Lines are then assigned Na Jia (heavenly stems & earthly branches), Six Relations (Parents, Brothers, Children, Wealth, Officials), Six Spirits (Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Hooked Chen, Flying Serpent, White Tiger, Black Warrior), and Shi/Ying positions. Fortune is judged from the Yong (focus) line and moving lines' interactions.
【Suitable for】Specific questions of fortune: wealth, marriage, career, exams, lost items, travel, illness, etc.
【Feature】Concrete and detailed; rigorous system centered on moving lines and Yong-Shen interactions.
◈Plum Blossom · Intro
【Full name】Plum Blossom Divination (Heart Yi)
【Origin】Attributed to Shao Yong (Kangjie) of the Northern Song. Holds that 'all things can form a hexagram'. Belongs to the Image-Number school of Yi learning.
【Principle】A hexagram is cast from time (year/month/day/hour), numbers, direction, sound, color, or any omen, yielding upper trigram, lower trigram, and a moving line. The core is Ti-Yong (body-use): the static trigram is Ti, the one with the moving line is Yong. Fortune is read from the Five Phases interaction between Ti and Yong (Yong generating Ti = auspicious; Ti generating Yong = draining; Ti overcoming Yong = gain; Yong overcoming Ti = ill; parallel = smooth), together with mutual and changed hexagrams.
【Suitable for】Random omens, sudden events, intuitive flashes; flexible and requires no ritual setup.
【Feature】Heart and Image intertwined; centered on Ti-Yong and Five Phases; flexible casting, good for reading omens and states of mind.
◈Qi Men Dun Jia · Intro
【Full name】Qi Men Dun Jia
【Origin】Known in antiquity as 'the study of emperors'; together with Tai Yi and Liu Ren it forms the 'Three Styles'. Legend traces it to the Yellow Emperor and Feng Hou; Jiang Tai Gong, Zhang Liang, and Zhuge Liang were all masters.
【Principle】A chart is arranged by the casting hour: first determine Yang-dun or Yin-dun (by solar terms from winter to summer solstice), then the Ju number (1-9), then distribute the Nine Palaces (Luo Shu), heaven and earth plates, Eight Gates (Rest, Life, Harm, Block, View, Death, Alarm, Open), Nine Stars, Eight Spirits, and the Duty Star/Duty Gate. Fortune and strategy are read from the interactions of these patterns.
【Suitable for】Choosing directions, strategy and decisions, seeking auspice and avoiding harm, selecting bearings for important matters.
【Feature】This site runs a simplified edition: it determines Yang/Yin-dun and the Ju number hint, but does not fully arrange the strict Nine-Palace chart with intercalary rules. The AI extrapolates from the four pillars and solar term; for reference only.
