I don’t know much, so I’ll tell you what I know.
1. Find 49 chess pieces (toothpicks or jade will do), randomly divide them into 2 piles, and take one from the right pile to become the third pile. Then use "4" as the base number, count the first and second piles of chess pieces, and take away the remainder (1 or 2 or 3). If it is an integer of "4", take away 4 pieces.
Put the remaining piles 1 and 2 together and repeat the above steps.
Pile the remaining pieces 1 and 2 together and repeat the above steps.
At this time, the total number of the remaining 1st and 2nd piles of chess pieces has only 4 possibilities, 24, 28, 32, and 36. Divided by 4, we get 6, 7, 8, 9.
When you encounter 6, it is Laoyin, that is, Yin Yao (movement). When it reaches 7 o'clock, it is Shaoyang, that is, Yang Yao. When it reaches 8, it is Shaoyin, that is, Yin Yao. At 9 o'clock, it is Lao Yang, that is, Yang Yao (moving).
At this time, a line of a hexagram appears.
A hexagram has 6 lines, so it needs to be repeated 6 times, the so-called "eighteen changes".
2. Plum blossoms are easy to count
You can use time to start the hexagrams, Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen and Kun, which correspond to 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. ,5,6,7,8.
For example, at ten o'clock in the evening on May 10, 2013, if switched to the lunar calendar, it would be the first day of April in the Guisi year.
Si in the Guisi year ranks 6 among the earthly branches; April is 4; the first day of the lunar month is 1; Haishi is ranked 12 among the twelve hours.
So, 4 numbers came out.
6, 4, 1, 12
Add the first three, 6+4+1=11, divide by 8, and the remainder is 3.
3, represents Li, so the upper hexagram is Li.
Add the four, 6+4+1+12=23, divide by 8, the remainder is 7.
7, represents Gen, so the lower hexagram is Gen.
Get the moving lines: add the four, 6+4+1+12=23, divide by 6, the remainder is 5. Then the moving line is the fifth line.
In the easy numbering of plum blossoms, you can also use the number of sounds, the number of characters, colors, etc. to make hexagrams.
3. Copper coins
You know, I won’t talk about it.
In fact, all masters are "playing divination". The more masters are, the more casual they are. Everything in the world can generate hexagrams, and they can definitely interpret hexagrams in an instant. What can be said are the methods used by novices, and the masters are generally "heartbroken".
