Zhouyi Divination / 《周易》占卜

Zhouyi divination / 《周易》占卜 is the yarrow-stalk and hexagram procedure discussed in 87.过年最适合聊玄学！探讨神仙方术发展史（未完待续）. The source presents it as a shift from burning shells and bones toward a calculative ritual that uses grouping, remainders, lines, trigrams, and hexagrams to generate interpretable signs.

The episode’s strongest point is that procedure and interpretation grow together. Counting and combination make the result feel formally grounded, while later explanations, commentaries, legends, and philosophical readings make the system culturally durable.

Key Claims

• Yarrow-stalk practice turns arithmetic arrangement into sacred procedure.
• The move from state questions to everyday matters expands divination’s social reach.
• Interpretive authority matters as much as the generated sign.
• The source treats the Confucius and “Ten Wings” traditions cautiously, separating later authority claims from secure evidence.
