Frequently asked questions

How is Liu Yao different from the I Ching tool?

Both cast the same six coin lines, but Liu Yao (六爻纳甲) always needs a specific question and gives a direct practical verdict, while the I Ching tool gives a broader classical-text reading for reflection.

Do I need to ask a yes/no question?

Not necessarily, but the more concrete your question, the sharper the verdict — "will X happen" or "should I do Y" work best.

Is each cast random?

Yes — the six coin lines are cast fresh in your browser each time, so results are not cached and each reading is unique.

Question-Driven Divination

Liu Yao requires a concrete question — it answers specific situations, not vague moods. The more precise your question, the sharper and more actionable the oracle's response.

What is Liu Yao (Six Lines Divination)?

Liu Yao (六爻), also known as Wen Wang Gua, is a branch of I Ching divination from the Han dynasty. It structures each of six lines with the Five Elements, Six Relatives, and Six Animals — creating a dense symbolic lattice far richer than hexagram-name readings alone.

The key concept is the "Officer" line (用神) — you identify which of the Six Relatives governs your question, then analyze how it interacts with the Self line and moving lines. The Qing-dynasty text Zeng Shan Bu Yi is the definitive manual and the framework our readings follow.
