What is iChing? - A spiritual divination method from ancient China

10/21/2021

iChing utilizes the concept of energy around a situation using the principles of the Tao Te Ching, a classic Chinese text that was written by Lao Tzu, a famous Chinese Taoist philosopher.

iChing is one the oldest methods of divination in the world. It is based on The Book of Changes, an ancient Chinese book that explains iChing. The book is believed to be written by Fu Hsi, the Chinese Emperor (2953-2838 B.C.). It was edited later by many people to create the current version of this ancient text. Some believe that iChing is directly a result of the Tao Te Ching. They give credit to Lao Tzu, who they consider to be its creator. iChing also uses the concept of elemental energy, their compatibility and dis-compatibility, giving rise to indications about a situation.

The three tri-grams that make up an iChing hexagram, which are explained below, are called the tri-grams. Each tri-gram, i.e. Each tri-gram (i.e., a set of three lines) represents the elemental energy. These are the eight possible tri-grams:

Heaven
Thunder
Water
Mountain
Earth
Wind
Fire
Lake

To create a Hexagram, one tri-gram is placed on top of the other. The details for each Hexagram are then used to interpret the hexagram. To provide full reading details, it is important to consider whether a hexagram contains changing lines.
