I Ching, Name Hexagrams, and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms — Learning about the I Ching, Names, and Constellations

Do you know about the I Ching? It's one of the world's oldest philosophical texts, originating in China over 3000 years ago.

Compiled around 1000 BC, the I Ching deeply influenced the thought of Confucius and Lao Tzu.

It's not about "what will happen," but "how things will change," which is what makes it so different from others.

This app allows you to properly learn about its profound world. It might look difficult, but it's surprisingly interesting, so don't worry!

The Sound of Your Name and the Four Symbols

This is a little different from name divination that counts the strokes in your name.

This app focuses on the "sound" and "vibration" of your name.

The meaning of sounds is actually deeply connected to the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) of the I Ching.

Directions, seasons, and the Four Symbols. The Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise—each corresponding to a different worldview lies dormant within your name.

Have you ever wondered, "Why does my name sound like this?" You might find the answer here.

72 Microseasons and the I Ching

Have you heard of Japan's 24 solar terms? It divides the year into 24 solar terms, further subdivided into 72 microclimates.

In the 18th century, the Chinese scholar Mao Qiling mapped the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching (Book of Changes) to 72 microseasons. This means that the seasons and the I Ching are inextricably linked.

This app not only lets you learn the hexagram corresponding to the current season, but also introduces seasonal ingredients and recommended dishes.

Eating seasonal foods is actually connected to the philosophy of the I Ching!

Using Three Coins to Create a Hexagram

The easiest way to experience I Ching divination is through the coin tossing method, known as "Zhengfa."

This method, which became widespread during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), involves using three coins to determine yin and yang, and then stacking six lines (yao) to create a hexagram.

The key is the four types: "Old Yin, Old Yang, Young Yin, and Young Yang." The changing and unchanging lines transform one hexagram into another.

The process of change itself is the message the I Ching wants to convey. It's not about static answers, but about the meaning lies in the continuous, ever-changing process.
