The ancients used yarrow for divination, and obtained a hexagram through three performances and eighteen variants. This method is the earliest gossip method.
this method is very complicated.
The original text is as follows:
"The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is nine out of forty. Divide two into two like two, hang one like three, and "four like four", which is strange to Le as leap; Leap again at the age of five, so hang on again. The number of days is five, the number of places is five, and the five are in harmony. There are five days in twenty, thirty places in the earth, and five places in fifty. This makes it a change and a ghost. "
I think this method is troublesome, so I have never used it.
The method of substituting money for money
It is said that the method of substituting money for money was an original creation of Guiguzi in the Warring States Period. The specific methods are as follows:
Please prepare three copper coins for divination, and it is best to dry the coins (if there is no such thing, please take other similar coins according to this principle).
The side without words is called "back". You need to write down how many "backs" appear each time you shake the hexagram, and shake it for 6 times to form a hexagram.
Specific operation steps:
1. Put three coppers in the palm of your hand, with your hands clasped, and concentrate on what you have measured (for example, think for about a minute).
2. Then shake the money in your hand and drop it (the first time), and write it down anyway:
There may be four situations: one back (marked as.), two backs (marked as ..), three backs (marked as O) and no back (marked as X).
3. Pick up the copper coin again, shake it and drop it (for the second time, you don't need to think for another minute, but you still need to concentrate), write it down anyway, and remember it as above.
4. Pick up the copper coin again, shake it and drop it (the third time), and write it down anyway.
5. Pick up the copper coin again, shake it and drop it (the fourth time), and write it down anyway.
6. Pick up the copper coin again, shake it and drop it (the fifth time), and write it down anyway.
7. Pick up the copper coin again, shake it and drop it (the sixth time), and write it down anyway.
At this time, a hexagram is almost completed, and the results are recorded as follows: (The order must be recorded correctly! )
The above method is simple and easy to use, and it is one of my common methods.
