I received a lot of questions from fans, asking me if I know the number of plum blossoms, the six lines of the capital, the number of the purple and small buckets, the four pillars of the eight characters, the number of the iron plate god, the emperor's world, etc.
Here, I will reply to everyone in a unified manner.
In fact, you can think of the I Ching as a deck of playing cards.
The 54 cards in this deck are the original core of the "Book of Changes" - the eight trigrams, the sixty-four hexagrams, the lines, and the laws of heaven and earth hidden in the words. The easy number of plum blossoms, the six lines of Jingfang, the number of Ziwei Dou, and the four pillars of eight characters that everyone is asking about are, in the final analysis, just different ways of playing this deck of playing cards.
The number of plum blossoms is like a "quick battle" card drawing ratio, where you can make predictions after seeing things and deduce them at will. It pays attention to instantaneous induction;
The six Yao lines of Jingfang are like "upgrading", using copper coins to shake the hexagram, paying attention to the five elements and the changes of the six relatives, and the rules are strict;
Ziwei Dou Shu is like "Texas Hold'em", where the birth date is used as the card and the stars are arranged to see the pattern and general trend;
The eight-character four-pillar is like "Fighting the Landlord", using the four characters of year, month, day and time to combine your exclusive hand of cards, which talks about the ups and downs of life.
Tiepanshenshu just wants to do mathematical research and calculate the area of a certain building.
Although there are many ways to play, the core has never changed.
Many people learn Yi and dive into the rules of various playing methods, memorizing formulas and judgments, but forget the most fundamental "card face" itself.
As long as you understand the original content of the "Book of Changes", understand the original meaning of the hexagrams, and the essence of the lines, and then look at these methods, you will suddenly understand that they are nothing more than a different way of playing cards.
Reader comments
It is true and objective, mostly descriptions, and a good book with rare knowledge and stories.
The author is very knowledgeable and has broad knowledge. This book is rare
The reason why I gave it a five-star rating: It can be said that this book is 30% false and 70% true. It uses a mythological concept to recall the process of how the ancestors realized the summary and application of the 64 hexagrams step by step. In the narration process, the basic knowledge and principles of the I Ching are expressed in the form of questions and answers, supplemented by the author's real-life arguments. After reading the first few chapters, I feel that this book should be named "The Book of Changes". Although there is still a lot of basic knowledge and formulas that have not been expressed, the relevant principles have been explained. For those who are initially learning the Book of Changes, they can already get started.
Well written, it explains the meaning of the hexagrams from the simplest meaning. There are many things that people can understand. Overall, look at it and cherish it. I feel like it will be taken off the shelves that day.
Generally speaking, it is very suitable for enlightenment. It would be better if the author established a group.
As soon as I started reading, I realized that this is a rare and good book. It can be called "a guide for beginners of the I Ching to break down the barriers of secrecy and learn the I Ching while listening to the stories"! Thanks to the author for his thoughtfulness and good intentions! [Like][Like][Like]
The mobile phone barrage shows that the author has updated. Say hello to the author! [Like][Like][Like]
The explanation is easy to understand, and the meaning of the hexagram is interpreted at the time of the story, which is novel and interesting! It would be even more perfect if it could be accompanied by hexagram interpretation! [Like][Like][Like][Like]

This book is very good and worth reading
The novel way of conceiving the theme tells the author's thoughts. The author has an extraordinary understanding of the Book of Changes, has a profound foundation of philosophical analysis, and has profound skills.

Yes, the writing is really good, and it allows us to briefly understand the Zhouyi gossip.
Good book. Why is there no rating? It's really a good book.
Fellow Taoists, how do you worship the four directions at home?
Explaining the problem from the perspective of the Book of Changes is reasonable and well-founded, and it also answers my doubts for many years.
Super practical information. This book can be used as a textbook for the six-yao line. I can throw away the six-yao line that I am currently learning and regard this as the authentic one.
Is there anything the author should pay attention to or avoid in the future for others or himself?
Awesome, keep reading
What is the solution if there is a change of Yao or if there is no change of Yao?
