1: First look for 50 and short wooden sticks (should be yarrow now yarrow is not easy to find, so I say wooden sticks) 50 is the "number of Dayan", Before counting, give it to the person being counted and ask him to silently ask for things. 2: Then take out one stick and put it aside (A). Only use Qiqi 49 sticks to count. A hexagram is divided into six lines, from bottom to top: first two, third, fourth and fifth. Each line must be calculated three times, so a hexagram needs to be calculated 3,618 times. 3: Take out one of the 49 sticks and put it aside (B, do not mix it with the one of A, which means this is the first calculation). The remaining sticks on the handles are randomly sorted into piles. Take out a bunch of them, group them into groups of four, and line them up in a row. Put the remaining one, two, three, or four aside (C). Be careful not to mix them with A and B. Then the remaining piles of the same four sticks are arranged in a row, and the remaining one, two, three or four sticks are put aside (C). This completes the calculation. Starting from the second calculation, put all the wooden sticks arranged in groups of four together without touching A, B, and C. Take out one and put it into B (there are two in B, which means the second count) and do the same with the rest. 4: After three calculations, there are four possible groups of two rows of wooden sticks: six, seven, eight, and nine. The specific meaning will be discussed later. Record the results on paper, using "--" (yang) to represent odd numbers and "- -" (yin) to represent even numbers. Then write Chinese characters next to it. If there are 9 piles at the end, write "Nineth Day". Be sure to write Chinese characters!! 5: After counting the first line (three counts), combine 49 and the sticks into a pile and start counting the second line. . Note that the first line to count is the bottom one, from bottom to top. When the six lines are completed, it becomes a hexagram. The above introduction is the yarrow method, but it is too cumbersome. Nowadays, very few people use this method to make hexagrams. Starting from the Han Dynasty, people began to use copper coins (it was five-plant coins at the time, but it is hard to find five-bead coins now). . Even if you want to buy it, it is very expensive. Therefore, Qianlong coins are usually used instead.) The specific method: take 3 Qianlong coins of the same size and put them in your hands. Hold the coins in your hands and quietly think about what you want to predict. (This Your mood must be calm at all times. Concentrate on what you want to predict!!) It will take about 1 minute or when you feel it. Then throw the copper coin. See the pros and cons. Record it. Throw it once. 6 times. The first time is the first line, and the last time is the upper six lines. The specific recording method is: one back is the yang line, recorded as " — ", the second and two backs are yin lines, recorded as "- - ", 3. Three backs are Laoyang (i.e. Yang movement), recorded as "O". 4. No back (i.e. three sides) are Lao Yin (i.e. Yin movement), recorded as "X".
Remember: 3 copper coins are tossed 6 times, not 6 copper coins. In addition, time is used to generate hexagrams, fortune telling is used to generate hexagrams, directions are used to generate hexagrams, sounds are used to generate hexagrams, and colors are used to generate hexagrams... In short, any method can be used to generate hexagrams. Since my delicate little hands have a hard time, I won’t introduce them one by one. You can also refer to the hexagram starting method in "Meihua Yishu". But Meihua mainly focuses on the relationship between the inner hexagram and the outer hexagram, and the comparison relationship. When we analyze a hexagram, we mainly need to look at its world, response, and use as the main analysis. Only by referring to the hexagram words and lines, and considering the internal and external hexagrams from many aspects can we get more accurate prediction results. The specific analysis system is extremely complicated. .It is impossible to do without basic knowledge of Zhouyi. Since the poster is interested in , I suggest you learn more about the basics of Zhouyi before starting and breaking hexagrams.
