The moment of asking

梅花易数 · Shao Yong's 年月日時 method, lunar-exact
In brief
Plum Blossom Oracle, Mei Hua Yi Shu, created by Shao Yong, casts a hexagram from the moment or numbers of a question rather than coins, then reads its two trigrams, the moving line and the derived hexagram. It excels at fast, situation-specific divination.
Frequently asked
How does Plum Blossom differ from I Ching coins?
Both use the sixty-four hexagrams, but Plum Blossom derives the hexagram from time or numbers and emphasises the interaction of the two trigrams and the moving line, giving a quicker, more image-based reading than the coin method.
What question suits Plum Blossom?
A single, clearly framed situational question: a decision, an outcome, a person's intent. The clearer and more focused the question, the sharper the trigram reading.
Is it fortune-telling?
It is a decision aid, not a fixed prophecy. Plum Blossom describes the tendency of a situation and the advice its trigrams carry, leaving the choice and the effort with you.
