Calendric systems of IChing Divination:
There is a component of Taoist thought which is concerned with numerological/cosmological systems. This has also been applied to the I Ching as well. The noted Chinese Neo-Confucian philosopher Shao Yung (1011-1077 CE) is the one who has done the most work in popularizing this concept and in developing/publishing oracular systems based on them. This is the most sophisticated usage of I Ching oracular systems. The most readily accessible of these methods (the easiest to learn to do, and also to use) is called the Plum Blossom Oracle. In fact, however, there are several variants of this method. One method uses the number of brushstrokes used in writing the question along with the date and time of the inquiry. Another method simply uses the date and time without an actual question. There are other variants as well, including not using date and time at all. The resulting numbers are used to select the trigrams (in either the Early Heaven or the Later Heaven sequence), which then identify the hexagram of the answer. It is also possible to find Plum Blossom Oracle computer programs to more easily and efficiently do the calculations. The most accurate of these calendric methods is also the most complex. This is called the Ho Map Lo Map Rational Number method. It uses a very complicated series of operations with a series of tables to generate series of predictions which are entirely calendar-based. The method set out in “Astrology of I Ching” has been reported to contain an error, leading to improper hexagrams sometimes being generated. However, the system can never produce the “missing” trigrams Li and Tui as a representation of the earthly force at a particular moment in time, since they are both assigned odd numeric values when the Later Heaven cycle of trigrams is superimposed on the so-called Magic Square of Three:

4….9….2
3….5….7
8….1….6.

The earthly numbers are all even and thus the system is not flawed even though being a composite method involving several layers – it is far from being seamless.

Probability analysis of I Ching divination:
Most analyses on the probabilities of either the coin method or yarrow stalk method agree on the probabilities for each method.

The I Ching (Wade-Giles), or Yì Jing (Pinyin); also called Book of Changes or Classic of Changes is one of the oldest of the Chinese classic texts. The book consists of two parts. The “basic text” of the Changes, which took form sometime in the early Zhou dynasty (traditional dates: 1122-256 B.C.E.), consists of sixty-four six-line divinatory symbols known as hexagrams, each of which has a name that refers to a physical object, an activity, a state, a situation, a quality, an emotion, or a relationship. In addition, each hexagram possesses a short, cryptic description of several words, called a “judgment” (tuan ?), and a brief written interpretation for each line of each hexagram, known as a line statement. The line statements, which are read from the bottom of the hexagram upward, describe the development of the situation epitomized by the hexagram name and the judgment. In the process of divination, the person consulting the text evaluates not only the judgment and line statements but also the relationship of the constituent trigrams (three-line symbols, also called gua) for insights into the issue under consideration, and what to do about it. Over time, a great many different systems developed for analyzing the relationship of hexagrams, trigrams and individual lines. During the late Zhou period, a set of appendices known as the Ten Wings–attributed to Confucius–became permanently attached to the “basic text,” and so the work received imperial sanction in 136 B.C.E. as one of the five major “Confucian” classics. This second part of the book articulated the Yijing’s implicit cosmology and invested the classic with a new and powerfully attractive literary flavor and style. The world view of this amplified version of the Changes emphasized correlative thinking, a humane cosmological outlook, and a fundamental unity and resonance between Heaven, Earth and Man. It also stressed the pervasive notion of yinyang complementarity, cyclical movement and ceaseless alternation. These amplifications and explanations of the “basic text” have had enormously important consequences in many realms of Chinese culture, from the Han period to the present.
