Liu Yao Divination

Ask with a sincere heart. When your thought arises, the hexagram forms. Ask only one question at a time.

1The Matter of Divination

The System's Foundation – The Critical Role of Time


The core of the Liuyao divination system begins with a profound concept: the moment your question arises is no coincidence. This specific slice of space-time—defined by the Year, Month, Day, and Hour—contains a unique cosmic energy (represented by the Stems and Branches) that is intrinsically linked to your query.

Therefore, unlike many other forms of divination, the divination time is the absolute foundation, not merely a timestamp. It acts as an "environmental benchmark," the sole ruler against which the strength, weakness, and fortune of all forces within the hexagram are measured. Without this temporal coordinate, the hexagram itself loses more than half of its meaning.

The Charting Principle – From Symbol to Dynamic Map

Once a hexagram of six yin and yang lines is formed—whether by casting coins or a digital simulation—the real work of "charting" (Páipán) begins. The essence of charting is to translate this seemingly static six-line symbol into a complex and dynamic relational map. During this process, the system assigns to each line:

  1. An Earthly Branch (Dìzhī): Giving it an inherent Five Element attribute.
  2. A Six Relative (Liùqīn): Defining its specific role in your query (e.g., representing Wealth, Career, Health, etc.).
  3. The Self & Other Lines (Shì & Yìng): Identifying the lines that represent "you" and "the subject/other party."
  4. A Six God (Liùshén): Adding a layer of subtle influence (e.g., the Green Dragon signifies joyous events; the White Tiger signifies pressure).

The final result is not a simple picture, but a unique "event map" created exclusively for your question at this specific moment, filled with interconnected, interacting nodes of energy.

The Interpretation Challenge – Why AI is Your Essential Guide

Interpreting this "event map" is notoriously complex, which is why the Liuyao method, despite its precision, has remained inaccessible to most for thousands of years. A qualified human analyst must manually assess every factor: judging the strength or weakness of each line against the time benchmark; untangling the intricate web of production, control, clash, and harmony between the lines; analyzing how moving lines alter the entire energy flow; and even uncovering "Hidden Gods" (key information lurking beneath the surface). A single error in any step can lead to a completely flawed conclusion.

This level of mastery requires years, if not decades, of dedicated training. This is precisely why our AI system was created. It is not just a tool; it is your personal expert interpreter. The AI performs all of these complex calculations and logical analyses instantly and flawlessly. It translates the "energy map," which is indecipherable to the untrained eye, into clear, structured, and actionable insights. It bridges the immense gap between ancient wisdom and the modern individual, empowering everyone to use this powerful system to gain foresight and make decisive choices about their future.
