Though there are a number of well-written works on Chinese
divination, there are none that deal with the three sophisticated
devices that were employed by the Chinese Astronomical Bureau in
the eleventh century and for hundreds of years thereafter. Chinese
experts applied the methods associated with these devices to both
weather forecasting and to the interpretation of human affairs.
Hidden by a veil of secrecy, these methods have always been
relatively little known other than by their names. The first work
in any language to explore these three methods, known as sanshi
(three cosmic boards), this book sheds light on a topic which has
been shrouded in mystery for centuries, having been kept secret for
many years by the Chinese Astronomical Bureau.
