I Ching divination
Among the many forms of divination is a cleromancy method using the ''I Ching'' (易經) or ''Book of Changes''. ''I Ching'' comprises 64 hexagrams and commentary upon these symbols. Each hexagram comprises 6 lines, either broken or solid, representing either yin or yang. By randomly generating these six lines and then reading the text associated with it the book is used as an oracle. Lines can also be called either young (stable) or old (changing). Any hexagram that contains "old yin" or "old yang" can change into a new hexagram when the any "old" lines change into their opposites, thus the person consulting the oracle will read both commentary specific to the changing lines as well as looking up the newly formed hexagram.
Throughout China's region of cultural influence (including Korea, Japan and Vietnam), scholars have added comments and interpretation to this work, one of the most important in ancient Chinese culture; it has also attracted the interest of many thinkers in the West. Historical and philosophical information, as well as a list of English translations, can be found here. The text is extremely dense reading. It is not unknown for experienced soothsayers to ignore the text, building the oracle from the pictures created by the lines, bigrams, trigrams, and final hexagram.
== Methods ==
Several of the methods use a randomising agent to determine each line of the hexagram. These methods produce a number which corresponds to the numbers of changing or unchanging lines and thus determines each line of the hexagram. Certain schools of Chinese philosophy (such as the School of Yin-Yang whose tenets were largely adopted by Daoism, though both are centuries younger than ''I Ching'') maintain that powerful old yin will eventually turn to young yang and ''vice versa'' so a new hexagram is formed by transposing each changing line with its opposite. Thus, further insight into the process of change is gained by reading the text of this new hexagram and studying it as the result of the current change.
Several of the methods described below force exactly one or no moving lines when the traditional yarrow stick method allows from zero to six moving lines. The yarrow stick method favours static lines to moving lines in the ratio 3:1 and favours moving yang to moving yin in the same ratio.
