›What is Plum Blossom (Mei Hua) divination?
Plum Blossom Numerology (梅花易数) is a method within the I Ching (Book of Changes) tradition, attributed to the Song-dynasty scholar Shao Yong — who, legend says, derived it while watching plum blossoms and two sparrows fighting. Its hallmark: a hexagram is cast from the exact moment you ask, then read through the body / use / mutual / changed trigrams and the five elements to answer something concrete. This whole site is built around it.
›And what is the I Ching itself?
The I Ching is the 3,000-year-old root system — 64 hexagrams describing how situations change. Plum Blossom is one fast, elegant way to consult it: you do not flip coins six times; the moment itself gives the hexagram.
›How is my hexagram cast?
The exact time you ask is turned into an upper trigram, a lower trigram and a moving line. The same moment always yields the same hexagram — your question meets a precise instant.
›Is this fortune-telling?
Think of it as a mirror, not a fixed fate. It reflects the shape of your situation and a direction to lean — the choice stays yours.
