Liu Yi originated from the Najia system in Fang Jing in the Western Han Dynasty. At first, 50 yarrow was used, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that "money was used instead of yarrow". The forecaster put three copper coins in his hand, clasped his hands, thought about what he had measured, and let the measured information melt into the copper coins. After shaking his hand, he put it in the divination tray and threw it six times. Ibu, then change.
Judging the development process and results of things by measuring the branches of divination on that day, six relatives and six beasts mainly rely on the words of combining the five elements with the Book of Changes. Six hexagrams is one of the most popular folk prediction methods, and its changes include the change of plum blossom and the fracture of Wang Wen's sixty-four hexagrams.
The origin of the name of six hexagrams
The reason why Liu Yao is called Liu Yao is basically in form. After the completion of six hexagrams, there are six positions, which have many changes due to different dynamic and static reasons. Sixty-four hexagrams, one hexagram and six hexagrams. Because hexagrams are dynamic, divided into main hexagrams and changing hexagrams, the complexity of the evolution of six hexagrams is not inferior to that of eight hexagrams.
