In brief
Da Liu Ren, the eldest of the Three Rites of ancient China, casts a Heaven Plate and Earth Plate for a moment, then derives the Four Lessons and Three Transmissions to answer a question. It is a scholarly divination prized for reading the unfolding of events.
Frequently asked
What are the Three Transmissions?
The initial, middle and final transmissions are three key symbols drawn from the plates that describe how a matter begins, develops and concludes, the heart of a Da Liu Ren reading.
How is it different from Qi Men?
Both are of the Three Rites and cast on a moment. Qi Men emphasises direction and strategy for action; Da Liu Ren is stronger for reading the nature and outcome of events and relationships.
What do I need to cast it?
The date and hour of the question. Da Liu Ren, like the other moment-based oracles, reads the time you ask rather than your birth chart.
