"Zhou" refers to the name of the dynasty, while "Yi" is the title of the book. The hexagrams were originally drawn by Fu Xi, embodying the meanings of exchange and transformation, thus it was named Yi (Changes). The appended texts were composed by King Wen and the Duke of Zhou, therefore the work is attributed to the Zhou dynasty.

Divination Principles

Divinate when in doubt; abstain when certain

Consult the oracle only when a genuine question or uncertainty weighs on your mind. Without doubt, do not cast casually.

One matter, one reading; do not repeat

Ask about the same matter only once. Repeated casts in quick succession can cloud the reading and diminish its clarity.

Wrong time, place, or reverence — do not cast

Avoid casting late at night, in the bedroom, or in impure settings. Wash your hands beforehand and settle body and mind.

Sincerity brings clarity; do not ask the unjust

Approach the oracle with a sincere, focused, and calm heart. Do not cast on matters that are improper or unreasonable.

Casting Method

Shi Yi simulates the traditional coin method: six tosses of three coins yield six lines, forming the hexagram. Changing lines are interpreted using Mr. Nan Huai-Chin's approach.
