The Plum Blossom method, or known in Chinese as the 'Mei Hua Yi Shu' is a subsystem of Yi Jing Divination. It's a more methodical and rational form of divination precisely because the method is rooted on the sound principles of the five elements and the original Gua attributes, which forms the basis of Chinese Metaphysics and Feng Shui. Now, Joey Yap presents the ultimate Plum Blossom Divination Reference Book, which is an exhaustive and complete reference for Yi Jing Plum Blossom practitioners and students. The highlights of this thoroughly-researched reference text are: Every single one of the 64 Hexagrams along with the 384 Yaos in complete and thorough detail, with all its possible permutations; Each Yao text is provided, followed by other relevant considerations pertaining to the Hexagram; Each Hexagram has the possibility of six changing Yao lines, and the derivation of all six possibilities is compiled in orderly sequence within the pages of this book; A detailed Introduction on how to use the book and how to make the most of the Gua explanations you derive; General and concise explanations of each Hexagram to further help you understand the meaning of the Hexagrams; An overall indication of the attributes of each Hexagram, which allow you to determine the usefulness of that particular Hexagram for a particular situation in your life; A description of all the relevant and particular considerations for each Hexagram; The Original Gua shown and highlighted with its Mutual Gua for every one of the Hexagrams for easy comparison and analysis; Ohe Original Gua shown and highlighted with its Transformed Gua; A clear reference for the qualities of each Gua in relation to time, indicating the usability of each Gua depending on the Season and Day on which it is derived.
