Synopsis

I Ching Numerology based on Shao Yung's classic Plum Blossom Numerology. Shao Yung, a great philosopher whose name was a household word in pre-revolutionary China, was the author of a classic work on I Ching prediction, "Plum Blossom Numerology". It describes an ancient time-honoured way of consulting the I Ching without using yarrow stalks or coins. Da Liu here introduces Western readers to Shao Yung's predictions, and presents the first account in English of this system. I Ching Numerology can be used to foretell and analyse, by means of a few calculations, the events of everyday life as well as events of wider historical significance. Based on the natural laws of the universe as understood in ancient China, the method and formulae of predictions are carefully and clearly explained; through them the I Ching can be consulted any time, anywhere. The book includes an account of the origin of the formulae, a biography of Shao Yung, the best known of the traditional stories about him, and selections from his predictive poems. For the serious student of prediction, there are comprehensive sections on the principles of foretelling with Shao Yung's formulae and on interpreting the answers received. The author also includes examples of how he himself used the formulae for prediction. As you grow familiar with I Ching Numerology, you will gain an intuitive understanding of the traditional Chinese outlook on life. With its examples of the I Ching's uncanny insight into nature, I Ching Numerology is an excellent way of entering into the traditional Chinese mind.
