A systematic course on Plum Blossom Numerology: its origins and development, the basics of the trigrams, Five Phases, and stems and branches, a dozen ways of casting a hexagram, reading by Ti and Yong and timing, and methods for eighteen kinds of questions from weather and home to marriage, wealth, and illness.
Six classic cases from Plum Blossom Numerology explained in plain language—the plum blossoms, the peony, the neighbor knocking at night, today's movement and stillness, the Xilin Temple plaque, and the worried old man—showing how to cast hexagrams from dates, sounds, characters, and observation, and how to read Ti and Yong.
The original rules of divination from the first volume of Plum Blossom Numerology—correspondence, dividing by eight and by six, the nuclear hexagram, casting by date and time, by objects, sounds, and characters, readings for others and oneself, and animals and still objects—each with a plain-language translation and explanation.
