About Da Yan Shi Fa
Prepare the Stalks
Take fifty yarrow stalks, set one aside unused, and use forty-nine for divination, symbolizing Taiji generating the Two Forces.
Divide into Two
Randomly divide the stalks into left and right piles - left represents Heaven, right represents Earth.
Set One Aside
Take one stalk from the right pile and hold it between fingers, symbolizing humanity - Heaven, Earth, and Human.
Count by Fours
Count the left pile by groups of four, symbolizing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Collect Remainders
Hold the remainder between fingers; after three changes, derive one line.
Three Changes Make One Line
Repeat three changes to get one line, six lines to complete one hexagram.
Historical Origins
Da Yan Shi Fa originates from the 'Commentary on the Appended Judgments' in the I Ching and is the most orthodox divination method in ancient China. Legend has it that Fuxi drew the Eight Trigrams, King Wen developed the I Ching, and Confucius wrote the Ten Wings. This method uses yarrow stalks as a medium, connecting heaven and humanity through rigorous mathematical reasoning.
"The number of the great expansion is fifty, of which forty-nine are used. Divide them into two lots to represent the two primal forces; set one aside to represent the three powers; count them by fours to represent the four seasons; return the remainder to symbolize the intercalary month." - I Ching, Commentary on the Appended Judgments
