Synopsis

Do you believe that a falling plum blossom, a chirping of birds, or even a stranger's knock on the door can predict good or bad times in the future? Shao Yong, a master of Yixue in the Song Dynasty, incorporated the changes in the world and all things into mathematical theory with his book "The Numbering of Plum Blossoms", and created the divination technique of "observing objects, taking images, and judging things by numbers". This book is not an empty metaphysical theory, but a practical guide full of live cases. From predicting that a woman will break a flower and injure her buttocks in "Plum Blossoms" to asserting that a famous flower will be trampled by a horse in "Peony Fortunes"; from inferring from the knock on the door in the middle of the night that the borrowed object is an ax and not a hoe, to unraveling the mystery of fate in each word and painting - Shao Yong used exquisite mathematical deductions to reveal the universal law that "everything is numbered, and there is a reason in the number". The book not only explains in detail the core theories such as Bagua, Five Elements, and Six Yao, but also includes esoteric mental methods such as "Three Essentials of Spiritual Responses" and "Ten Essentials of Spiritual Responses" to teach you how to capture clues of destiny from the sounds of wind, birdsong, colors, and objects. No matter whether you have come into contact with the "Book of Changes" or not, you can understand the beauty of "Yi Jing" from it: control complexity with simplicity, stop with stillness, and reflect all things with one mind. "The Number of Plum Blossoms" is not only a divination classic, but also a key to the door of traditional Chinese wisdom. If you want to understand the hints of fate and understand the mysteries of life, this book will take you into a wonderful world where "there are images in the numbers, and the truth is hidden outside the images".
