Why people choose us

🌸

Shao Yong's Plum Blossom Method

Based on the Northern Song philosopher Shao Yong's (邵雍) Mei Hua Yi Shu (《梅花易数》) — a pure-arithmetic, calendar-independent hexagram method that uses numbers you choose.

🔢

Instant Number-to-Hexagram

Pick two numbers from your mind — the first determines the upper trigram (上卦), the second the lower trigram (下卦), and their sum finds the moving line. No coins, no birth data.

🎯

Ten-Thousand-Things Image System

The Mei Hua method assigns every phenomenon to one of the eight trigrams (八卦万物类象) — your numbers, the season, even the sounds around you enrich the reading.

Frequently asked questions

What numbers should I use?⌄

Any positive whole numbers — the classical method often uses the current time or the first numbers that come to mind, since the moment of asking is considered meaningful.

What is 体卦/用卦 (Host/Guest trigram)?⌄

In Mei Hua Yi Shu, the two trigrams that make up your hexagram are read as a Host (体, representing you) and a Guest (用, representing the situation) — their relationship shapes the reading.

Is this the same as the I Ching tool?⌄

It's related — both are I Ching divination — but Mei Hua casts its hexagram from numbers you choose rather than coin tosses, and is traditionally used for reading everyday signs with a fast, direct answer.

What is Mei Hua Yi Shu (Plum Blossom Numerology)?

Mei Hua Yi Shu (梅花易数), "Plum Blossom Easy Numbers", is an elegant branch of I Ching divination developed by Northern Song philosopher Shao Yong (邵雍, 1011–1077 CE). Unlike coin-casting, it is purely mathematical: two numbers reduce to the upper and lower trigrams, their sum finds the moving line — no physical ritual needed.

Its distinctive feature is the "Ten Thousand Things Image System" (万物类象) — every phenomenon associates with one of the eight trigrams. Qian is heaven and father, Kun is earth and mother, Zhen is thunder and eldest son. Its beauty is immediacy: applicable to any moment of decision with sincerity as the only requirement.
