Plum Blossom Lite App, or Mei Hua Yi Shu 梅花易數, is an ancient Chinese Calculation Method based on the Yi Jing 易經. Shao Kang Jie 邵康節, who was also known as Shao Yong 邵雍, discovered Plum Blossom (Mei Hua Yi Shu) Divination during the Song Dynasty. The Plum Blossom Methods do not require the use of coins, yarrow stalks, dice, tortoise shells, or any other object as a tool to derive a Gua. Instead, the use the mind, images, and numbers. Many things are taken as omens: anything out of the ordinary, no matter how small, something or someone coming from a certain direction, birds fighting, a girl falling out of a tree, a strange expression on someone’s face, or the Time and Date. These are all the things that can be translated into Gua and analyzed. There are two ways the Universe uses to send a message to us. One is to let us know something before it happens. It is sent by letting our attention be drawn to some strange events or phenomena. The other is to reply to our inquiry. Some diviners can interpret the message by intuition. This requires special blessing from Heaven to have such ability. For most people, a systematic method can be used. This Application Includes: 1) Five (5) Methods available to derive the Hexagram: -a. use the Gregorian Calendar (Hour, Day, Month, Year) to derive the Hexagram -b. use the Chinese Lunar Calendar (Hour, Day, Month, Year) to derive the Hexagram -c. use the Name and Surname to derive the Hexagram -d. use the Date (without Hour) to derive the Hexagram -e. use the Japanese era Date (without hour) to derive the Hexagram. 2) Introduction to Plum Blossom Divination. - Relationship between Body (體 Ti) and Application (用 Yong). 3) Glossary - Analyzing the: - Gua 卦 - Change Line (爻 Yao) - Body Gua (體 Ti) - Application Gua (用 Yong) - Original Gua (本 Ben) - Mutual Gua (互 Hu) - Transform Gua (變 Bian) - Engender (生 Sheng) - Restrain (剋 Ke) - Same Element (比和 Bi He) - Gua Qi (卦氣) - Prosper (旺 Wang). 4) Divination Clues: - Motion and Stillness - Incoming and Outgoing - Guessing Game - Weather Divination - Human Affairs Divination - Home Affairs Divination - Feng Shui Divination - Marriage Divination - Fame Divination - Wealth Divination - Trip Divination - Lost and Found Divination. 5) Gua Relationships. 6) Ti Gua Interaction: Qian generates Ti | Qian controls Ti | Dui generates Ti | Dui controls Ti | Li generates Ti | Li controls Ti | Zhen generates Ti | Zhen controls Ti | Xun generates Ti | Xun controls Ti | Kan generates Ti | Kan controls Ti | Gen generates Ti | Gen controls Ti | Kun generates Ti | Kun controls Ti. 7) Body Parts and Disease: - Analysis of the Eight Trigrams, as the Body Gua. 8) Gua Implications: Eight Trigrams Analysis for prediction: - Heaven Implications - Earth Implications - Human Implications - Body Parts - Sickness - Human Nature - Animals - Plants & Stationary Objects - Housing - Food - Trips - Lost & Found - Numbers Mei Hua Yi Shu (Plum Blossom Divination) is a name that broadly covers any systematic method that can be used. In all these methods, the Trigrams and Hexagrams are used. Some methods do not require the knowledge of the Yi Jing text. Others may use the Yi Jing text. Synchronicity is the basis of divination.
