Jedes Feedback, jeder Verbesserungsvorschlag oder jede Korrektur würde mir unglaublich helfen!Vielen Dank für eure Unterstützung! 🙏✨

Lineage, Core Theories and Major Works

Modern and contemporary Yi studies have been advanced by numerous scholars with distinct lineages and core theories. This article introduces representative Yi masters and their academic achievements.

I. Republican Era Yi Masters

1. Shang Binghe (1870–1950)

Lineage: No single formal master. Self-studied and inherited the Han Yi image-number tradition of Yu Fan, Shuang Shuang and Jiao Yanshou, founding his own school of Han Yi imagery and numerology.Core Theory: Revived Han image-number Yi learning; collected over a thousand lost ancient hexagram images. He argued every line and hexagram phrase derives directly from symbolic images, criticizing later scholars who abandoned imagery for empty philosophical speculation. He is regarded as the pioneer of the modern revival of image-number Yi studies.Major Works:The Shang’s Commentary on Zhouyi, Notes on Jiao’s Yi Lin, Interpretation of Jiao’s Yi Gu, Explanation of Yi Images in Zuo Zhuan and Guo Yu

2. Hang Xinzhai (1869–1924)

Lineage: Well-versed in diverse schools with no fixed mentor; integrated Han and Song Yi learning, alchemy, astronomy, calendar mathematics and Western learning.Core Theory: Unified imagery-numbers, philosophical principles, Confucianism, Taoism, astronomy and modern science. Broke sectarian boundaries, pioneering the idea that Yi and natural science share the same origin—founding the modern tradition of integrating Chinese and Western Yi thought.Major Works:Notes on Studying Yi, The Wedge of Yi,Occasional Insights on Yi Numbers, Correction of Yi Commentary in Yu Yi Lu

3. Gao Heng (1900–1986)

Lineage: Studied under Wang Guowei and Liang Qichao, inheriting the Tsinghua School of classical textual research.Core Theory: Studied Yi via paleography, exegetics and historiography; separated the original classic from its commentaries, stripped away far-fetched interpretations in the Ten Wings, and restored the original divinatory nature of the ancient Zhouyi classic. Adopted a scientific textual approach to recover historical truth.Major Works:Modern Annotation of the Ancient Zhouyi Classic,Modern Annotation of the Great Commentary of Zhouyi, Essays on Zhouyi

4. Li Jingchi (1902–1975)

Lineage: Followed the Ancient History Debate academic style, influenced by Gu Jiegang; no traditional Yi lineage.Core Theory: Verified the formation and evolution of Zhouyi through historiography, folklore and literary history. Debunked traditional legends that King Wen composed the hexagrams and Confucius wrote the Ten Wings; confirmed Zhouyi as a divination archive of Western Zhou official historians.Major Works: Exploration of Zhouyi, Comprehensive Interpretation of Zhouyi

5. Huang Shouqi (1909–1990)

Lineage: Disciple of classicist Wu Chengshi, carrying forward the eclectic academic thread blending Han and Song Yi scholarship.Core Theory: Valued both image-number and philosophical principles, reconciling Han and Song traditions. Specialized in Yi bibliography and academic origin research; rigorous in scholarship, he laid the foundation of modern university-based Yi education.Major Works: Translation and Annotation of Zhouyi,Critical Review of Yi Academic Books

II. Modern and Contemporary Yi Masters

6. Jing Jingfang (1902–2001)

8. Huo Feiran (1931–2014, Chongqing)

Lineage: No esoteric folk inheritance; fully self-enlightened through deep study of the Xici Zhuan, directly inheriting innate Yi principles.Core Theory: Rejected Najia system and complicated Five Elements formulas; created the Minor Completion Diagram divination method. Founded a pure, minimalist system based on the interlocking, opening and closing changes of the Eight Trigrams. Also mastered He-Luo cosmology, Three Divinations and alchemical Yi theory.Major Works: Zhouyi Minor Completion Diagram,Correct Interpretation of Xici Zhuan, Feiran’s Remarks on Yi

9. Liu Dajun (1943–)

Lineage: Self-studied Shang Binghe’s Han image-number Yi; no formal apprenticeship, built an official academic system of Yi studies independently.Core Theory: Revived lost image-number Yi learning; in-depth research on Silk Manuscript Zhouyi and Bamboo Slip Zhouyi.

if anyone can offer insight i would be grateful

*[Three coin method; cast at approximately 2:00 - 2:30 pm PST on Wednesday, May 13th, 2026; location Oregon, United States]*

Some background about the situation I am consulting about:

An ex-friend of mine, who had been closer to me than any other, has set magic workings upon me that block my connection to Spirit and negatively affect my spiritual understanding and intuition (I have reason to believe he is working with a specific spiritual Being in this). This has been affecting me for well over a year.

I received a dream today reiterating the situation: in it I had two pool noodles (the long plastic foam things used to float in water) that allowed me easy flight through the air (symbolic of my connection to Spirit). I carried this friend along with me and he repeatedly crossed physical boundaries (touching me inappropriately despite me rejecting his advances) and he eventually tore pieces off one of my pool noodles, damaging my connection. After damaging my pool noodle I kicked him off and abandoned him to continue on my own way without his presence (this is all much the same as what happened in waking life). In the dream he pursued me and attempted to cross more boundaries with the intent to cripple me/my connection, so I broke both his arms and one of his legs to immobilize him while I made my escape with two new pool noodles, only these new noodles were thinner, weaker, and clear/see-through where the previous ones were solid, thick and sturdy.

I could no longer fly, and the new noodles had quickly shrunk even further to scant pieces of... I don't even know what, but they were withered and dark, not colorful puffy plastic foam, and they were now the size--and roughly the shape--of my palms.

**TLDR: I had a dream today about my ongoing situation with a vindictive ex-friend who has had some success in damaging/blocking my connection with Spirit, leading me to cast coins in consultation of the I Ching.**

When asking "How do I fix this situation?" I have received Hexagram 32 - Fixing the Omen/Persevering, with the only changing line being 9 in the fourth: "The fields without game". This makes the relating hexagram Hexagram 46 - Ascending the Scared Mountain.

My problem is, I'm not sure how to move forward in this situation with 9 in the fourth line of Hex 32... One book I use (Total I Ching by Stephen Karcher) suggests that I "leave quietly" because "There is no lasting at all in this situation. There is simply nothing in sight..." While the other book I consult (I Ching or Book of Changes by Richard Wilhelm) states that "...A man who persists in stalking game in a place where there is none may wait forever. Persistence in search is not enough. What is not sought in the right way is not found."

Now, I have already left the situation with this ex-friend, it has been nearly two and a half years since I calmly and respectfully ended my friendship with him and I've not had any contact since, yet he (or at the very least his original intentions) continue to pursue and affect me like shown in my dream. It's not really *him* I asked the I Ching about fixing anyway, I'm trying to fix the way his intentions affect my connection to Spirit, and the response I've been given doesn't really point me in the right direction... Am I meant to persevere and continue moving forward in the limited ways that I can and have been? Or is waiting things out the wrong move, as indicated by nine in the fourth line?

If anyone who is more knowledgeable and familiar with the I Ching could help me, I would be VERY grateful. I'm new to this system of cosmology and divination and have only been studying/practicing it for about a month.

Hello all
I am an I ching user since 45 years. I have looked at may different orderings of the hexagrams, and always expected to find the continuing story, but any try at ordering them by semantics failed when using rows and columns. There was no order.

Today I come from a really different angle, the genetic code. With its four letters and 64 words. I discovered that only one order works to organize and serialize the RNA codons with the smallest, least difference inbetween adjacent codons. The same mathematical rules applied to the i ching (using bigrams instead of trigrams) shows a fascinating order of the hexagram sequences. They tell three stories. Earth - Man - Heaven.

The casting is like any other one, but under the hood we have mathematical order.

Casting a hexagram and clicking it shows a flip and a story button.

The Flip is showing the complement hexagram, the Story explains.

On the bottom is a help section where i show the mathematics in more detail.

I have written the mathematical proof that the 64 codon RNA code and by extension the 64 hexagram I Ching have to use ONE specific order to reveal a semantic meaningful progression without conflicts.

After ordering the I ching like the RNA, the hexagrams became ordered sequences. The flip all lines is really the opposite situation for all 64.

The error with the known i ching orders was not the identification of the trigram split, but the mapping of rows and columns with trigram labels.

Earth Man Heaven is a really really old concept, way before the grid orders, but was the hint for the correct order. Three bigrams is how they have to be read to make sense from one hexagram to the next.

The yin/yang revealed is 32 + 32, not 1-64.

The Bigram I Ching is an offline html page that anyone can use at home even without internet. I am hosting it so free download is possible. I will never charge for it.

It's a giveaway before I leave the planet :-)

I hope this is a useful addition to all other orderings we know about the I ching hexagrams.

thanks for the patience to read this dense introduction.

I welcome discussion and additions.

I've published a detailed essay on why translating the classical Chinese Six Lines (Liu Yao) divination system into English is not a matter of language conversion, but a form of knowledge engineering.

The essay covers: why terminology must be designed as a system across multiple classical texts, why the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches require symbolic replacement rather than pinyin or zodiac animals, why case translation must preserve the full chain of reasoning, why translator's notes must bridge cultural and historical gaps, and why these classics were selected and sequenced for English readers.

Discussion and feedback welcome.

Thank you to the moderator of r/divination for allowing this standalone post. We were also very happy to contribute I Ching divination books to the r/divination 14th anniversary giveaway. We appreciate this community’s long-standing support for many forms of divination study, research, and practice.

I would like to introduce I Ching Stream.

I Ching Stream is the first platform created to systematically bring classical I Ching divination texts into English. Our goal is to preserve China’s traditional divinatory methods, terminology, case records, and practical reasoning in clear, precise English for serious learners, practitioners, and researchers.

Many readers outside the Chinese-language tradition know the I Ching mainly through the Judgment and Line statements, philosophy, symbolism, or spiritual reflection. These are important parts of the tradition. However, over more than two thousand years of development in China, I Ching divination also became a practical system for judging real-world questions.

Historically, I Ching divination was not limited to private spiritual reflection. It was used by Chinese rulers, officials, scholars, and ordinary people to judge real-world matters, including war, state affairs, official appointments, marriage, illness, travel, business, family matters, and major life decisions. Classical sources also preserve famous divination accounts associated with major cultural figures, including accounts of Confucius divining about his own fate. Readers who are interested in this historical dimension may refer to Studies on Ancient I Ching Divination Cases (Zhouyi Gushi Kao, 《周易古筮考》), which records about 170 historical divination cases preserved in Chinese historical sources, together with interpretations and discussions by scholars from different dynasties.

In China, this practical I Ching divination system is commonly known as Six Lines Divination (Liu Yao, 六爻, literally “six lines”). In actual practice, it can combine several layers of interpretation: the Judgment and Line statements, image-number methods such as Plum Blossom Numerology, and the Na Jia method (纳甲), also known in practice as Wen Wang Gua (文王卦).

In the classical system represented by Zengshan Buyi, the primary analytical framework is Na Jia / Wen Wang Gua. It is especially useful for judging timing, relationships, obstacles, development, and outcomes, while the Judgment and Line statements and image-based methods can serve as supporting references.

I Ching Stream is dedicated to making this practical historical system accessible in English, especially the Na Jia and Wen Wang Gua tradition, which remains underrepresented in English-language I Ching resources.

Our main recommended title at the moment is:

I Ching Divination: Complete and Restored (Zengshan Buyi, 《增删卜易》)

This is not a general introductory I Ching book, but a practical reference work for serious learners, practitioners, and researchers. Zengshan Buyi is one of the most important classics in the Chinese I Ching divination tradition. It is also one of the key texts studied by Chinese learners of I Ching divination and one of the most commonly discussed and referenced works in later classical I Ching divination literature.

This is not a general I Ching commentary or a symbolic interpretation book. This English edition contains about 200,000 words, 460+ real divination cases, and detailed translator’s notes designed to help readers outside the Chinese cultural and textual tradition understand the historical context, technical terms, and interpretive logic behind the cases. Rather than offering general reflections on the hexagrams, these cases show how classical I Ching divination was used to judge real-world questions, including likely outcomes, timing, the development of events, and the final feedback from actual cases.

Our goal is not to simplify the I Ching into abstract philosophy, nor to turn it into quick fortune-telling entertainment. The purpose is to present the traditional Chinese I Ching divination system as completely and clearly as possible, including its methods, structure, case logic, and practical reasoning.Zengshan Buyi is part of a larger classical I Ching divination library we are building in English. Current available titles include:

• I Ching Divination: Complete and Restored (Zengshan Buyi, 《增删卜易》)

• The Orthodox Method of I Ching Divination (Bushi Zhengzong, 《卜筮正宗》), also known as Golden Strategy

• Fire Pearl Forest: I Ching (Six Lines) Divination Classical Text (Huo Zhu Lin, 《火珠林》)

• Undersea Eye: The Core Principles of I Ching (Six Lines) Divination (Haidi Yan, 《海底眼》)

• Collected Insights on I Ching Divination (Yi Donglin, 《易洞林》), including Donglin Secret Manual (Donglin Mijue, 《洞林秘诀》), Guo Shi Donglin (Guoshi Donglin, 《郭氏洞林》), and Zhouyi Donglin (Zhouyi Donglin, 《周易洞林》)

• Hidden Principles Ode: A Classic of I Ching (Six Lines) Divination (Chan Ao Ge Zhang, 《阐奥歌章》)

• Principles and Odes of I Ching Divination: Including Mysterious and Subtle Discourse and Celestial Mysteries Ode (Tong Xuan Miao Lun, 《通玄妙论》 and Tian Xuan Fu, 《天玄赋》)

• Studies on Ancient I Ching Divination Cases (Zhouyi Gushi Kao, 《周易古筮考》)

• Encompassing I Ching Divination (Yi Mao, 《易冒》)

These works are intended for readers who want to understand I Ching divination as a practical historical system, not only as a philosophical text or a set of Judgment and Line statements.

They may be especially useful for:

• I Ching readers who want to move beyond general symbolism and understand practical divination methods;

• tarot readers, astrologers, spiritual consultants, and other divination practitioners who want to explore a structured Chinese divination system;

• practitioners of Chinese metaphysics, traditional Chinese medicine, or related traditional systems who want to understand how I Ching divination was used to judge real-world matters;

• researchers and serious learners who want access to classical Chinese divination cases, technical reasoning, and historical practice in English.

For readers who are new to this system, we also recommend starting with I Ching Divination: A Practical Study Roadmap, which is available on Amazon. This short guide gives readers a broad overview of the mainstream I Ching divination system used in China, including how classical I Ching reading, Six Lines Divination, Wen Wang Gua, Na Jia, images, lines, time factors, and practical judgment fit together. It is a good starting point before moving into the larger classical translations.

For readers who prefer Kindle, several titles are also available through Amazon. Because Kindle is managed through Amazon’s platform, this Reddit reader offer can only be redeemed through ichingstream.com.

In 1950, Carl Jung was writing the foreword to the English translation of the I Ching.During this time, he did something remarkable: he cast a hexagram himself. Not once, but twice.

First Cast

Jung asked:If I recommend the I Ching to English-speaking readers, what will be the result?

He received Ding Hexagram (The Cauldron), with Lines 2 and 3 moving, changing into Jin Hexagram (Progress).

Line 2 of Ding:The cauldron has food in it. My enemy is ill and cannot reach me. Good fortune.The cauldron holds substance, yet resentment comes from others , but they cannot harm him. 

Line 3 of Ding:The ear of the cauldron is shifted; movement is blocked. The pheasant cream remains uneaten. Rain comes, regret fades. Ultimately good fortune.

 The hexagram transformed into Hexagram 35, Jin (Progress).

Jung’s reflection:The I Ching was, in a way, complaining that its true value and vital function were being overlooked. Though it rises like the sun and affirms individual conviction, it still faces rejection and disbelief. Yet it presses forward calmly, without worry, without forcing anyone to believe.

Second Cast

Jung asked the I Ching to comment on his act of writing the foreword.

He received Kan Hexagram (The Abyss), with Line 3 moving, changing into Jing Hexagram (The Well).

 Line 3 of Kan:Coming and going amid abysses, surrounded by danger, sinking into a pit. Do not act. It symbolizes being trapped between dangers, entering a deep, risky chasm. He was warned to pause and observe, lest he fall further.

 Jing Hexagram (The Well):Water rising through wood , a well that nourishes others.

 Jung’s reflection:He saw himself caught in a difficult situation, represented by a deep, dangerous pit one could easily fall into. Yet this pit might be an old well, only needing to be cleaned and restored to serve its purpose again.

Ultimate Insight: Synchronicity , Meaningful, Non-Causal Connection

In his foreword, Jung wrote:The answers from the I Ching matched his inner psychological state perfectly. This was no mere coincidence.

Between one’s inner state and outer events, there exists a non-causal connection , this is synchronicity.

Causality says A causes B.Synchronicity says A and B occur together because they belong to the same meaningful whole.

Jung’s Final Words on the I Ching

The I Ching offers no proofs or results. It does not boast. It is not easy to approach, nor does it grant power. Yet for those who seek self-knowledge and wisdom, it may be a profound book.

To some, its spirit shines bright as day;to others, faint as morning light; to others still, dark as night.

If you do not like it, you need not use it.If you feel repelled by it, you need not seek truth from it.

 

We plan to share one public I Ching divination case here each week for reference, learning, and discussion. Everyone is welcome to participate, share your thoughts, or ask questions.

Personal details have been anonymized. This case is shared for learning and discussion only.

Casting time: May 16, 2024, 15:20
Time: Year I E, Month VI F, Day VII E (void: J and K)
Question: A man asked whether he could reconcile with his ex-girlfriend. The hexagram obtained was Gou to Huan.

https://preview.redd.it/vjyjk1ho0vzg1.png?width=1164&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f87a632135bc3d39fa7f771661fa69059b54e36

In this case, the primary hexagram Gou is not favorable for a man asking about reconciliation.

The wife and wealth line is the significator line. It is in the states of rest and constraint, hidden beneath another line, and compatible with the flying line. This suggests that the woman may have someone else around her, or at least other emotional options.

From the host and corresponding line perspective, the host line represents the querent, while the corresponding line represents the woman. The active officials and ghosts line transforms into the parents line in compatibility, and this transformed line can also point to another man. The top line also shows covert activation after being clashed by the daily branch, again suggesting another male presence or competing influence.

Another important point is that the siblings line between the host and corresponding lines is active, forming an obstruction. In relationship questions, this kind of structure can indicate interference, competition, or difficulty in the connection between the two people.

So the judgment was not simply that reconciliation was impossible. The deeper issue was that even if they came back together, the relationship would likely remain obstructed and unhappy.

Feedback: The woman was still in school. Whenever she went home during school breaks, she stopped responding to the querent. He did not know her situation very well, and she remained somewhat mysterious to him. However, she did get along quite well with the boys in her class.

This matched the hexagram structure quite closely.
