Wen Wang Gua
Wen Wang Gua () is a method of interpreting the results of I Ching divination that was first described in writing by Jing Fang (78–37 BC) in Han dynasty China. It is based on correlating trigrams to the celestial stems and Earthly Branches of the Chinese calendar, and then using the stem and branch elements to interpret the lines of the trigrams and hexagrams of the ''I Ching''.〔Wang Mo (); Jing Fang Yi Chuan (); Woolin Publishing Company Taipei, ISBN 957-35-0561-4〕 The method is popular in South East Asia. It is known by various names: (') (six lines) refers to the fact that it interprets the meaning of six symbols; the '' method'', indicates its logic of elemental values derived from the Chinese calendar; ' (changes of the five elements); or ' (Lessons of King Wen), which can refer to an actual King (the author of the I Ching) or since ' can mean 'man' the meaning can be "lessons of sovereign man", a more metaphysical connotation.
==History==
The name Wen Wang Gua means King Wen fortune telling hexagrams (or trigrams, since gua can mean either hexagram or trigram). King Wen of Zhou and his son are traditionally said to be the authors of the ''I Ching''. The elemental correspondences of the trigrams were not originally part of the tradition associated with King Wens name, but may have been based on a trigram sequence described in the ''Eighth Wing'' (one of the ''Ten Wings'', a series of appendixes to the ''I Ching'' which are usually ascribed to Confucius). That the use of element correlation theories was relevant at the time can be seen from the extant records, such as the Luxuriant Dew of the Spring and Autumn Annals, a compilation of earlier texts which was attributed to Dong Zhongshu. As one modern researcher remarks: "Dong Zhongshu is generally remembered as the author of a detailed system of correspondences in which everything was correlated to one of the five fundamental forces, so that everything could be shown to be interrelated in an orderly and comprehensible manner."〔(Russell Kirkland, "Tung Chung-shu." Copyright: Ian P. McGreal, ed., Great Thinkers of the Eastern World (New York: HarperCollins, 1995), 67-70. )〕 Jing Fang and his teacher, the author of the "Forest of Changes by Jiao", were among the first to apply this form of correlative thinking to I Ching divination.〔Loewe, Michael; A Biographical Dictionary of the Qin, Former Han & Xin Periods (221 BC – AD 24); p. 199-200〕
