Mei Hua Divination
Mei Hua Yi Shu (梅花易数) is one branch of Yi Jing (I Ching) that uses time, numbers and the things happening around you. Key in the time of your question to read where a decision is heading, future trends, lost items, even your health.
What is Mei Hua Divination?
Mei Hua Yi Shu (梅花易数), "Plum Blossom Numerology", is a method of I Ching divination created by Shao Yong. Instead of tossing coins or yarrow stalks, Mei Hua turns time, numbers or nearby events into a hexagram. People use it to predict the outcome of a decision, read future trends, find lost items, and even sense health conditions.
How the time method works
- Date & hour convert to the lunar calendar: the year zodiac number (1-12), lunar month, lunar day, and the double-hour (shichen).
- Upper trigram = (zodiac + month + day) mod 8; lower trigram = (… + hour) mod 8; a remainder of 0 counts as 8.
- Moving line = (zodiac + month + day + hour) mod 6 (remainder 0 = line 6). This line forms the Changed Hexagram.
- The trigram holding the moving line becomes Yong (environment); the other one is Ti (self). Their five-element relationship decides whether it is favourable.
