Plain-Language Guide to the Plum Blossom Numerology

Plain Language: The Plum Blossom Numerology is a book that reinterprets the Song dynasty classic of Yi studies, The Plum Blossom Numerology, in modern, accessible language. Guided by the principle of “bringing the ancient into the present,” it combines traditional divination theory with modern life, making the profound wisdom of Yi studies easier for contemporary readers to understand and apply.

This book does not cling to a literal translation of the old text. It takes the heart as its source and uses modern tools as its wings, bringing a cluster of fresh blossoms to a plum branch that has stood for a thousand years.
