Mei Hua Yi Shu
Supports number casting and time casting. The chart shows the primary, mutual, and relating hexagrams. Interpretation text is not included for now.
Determine the hexagram by number remainders — simple and quick
Enter three integers (1–9999) to cast the hexagram. Leave them blank for a random cast. The upper number mod 8 determines the upper trigram, the lower number mod 8 determines the lower trigram, and the moving-line number mod 6 determines the changing line.

Mei Hua Yi Shu
Plum Blossom Numerology (Mei Hua Yi Shu) emphasizes deriving hexagram images from time, numbers, and external signs. This tool is designed to quickly generate primary, mutual, and transformed hexagrams, helping learners understand the basic structure of subject/object relations, mutual/transformed states, and five-element interactions.
Choose either number-based or time-based chart generation and submit. Number-based generation is suitable when you have numeric clues, while time-based generation works best for capturing the image of the current moment. We recommend sticking to one method to avoid mixing different schools of calculation.
First, look at the primary hexagram representing the current state, then the mutual hexagram for the intermediate process, and finally the transformed hexagram for the future trend. Plum Blossom Numerology is best understood by combining the subject-object relationship and the generation-overcoming cycles of the five elements, rather than just looking at the hexagram names.
It is suitable for Plum Blossom Numerology beginners, time-based divination practice, and comparisons with I Ching divination and Xiao Liu Ren. The current version of this tool focuses on chart generation, and the results are for study reference only.
Plum Blossom Numerology (Mei Hua Yi Shu) is a divination method based on the Eight Trigrams and the I Ching. It generates hexagrams using information like time, numbers, sounds, and directions, emphasizing image interpretation and subject-object relationships.
I Ching divination typically focuses on hexagram and line texts, as well as formal stalk-casting methods. Plum Blossom Numerology is more flexible, often using time or external cues to form hexagrams, and emphasizes the relationships between primary, mutual, and transformed hexagrams.
A mutual hexagram is formed by recombining the inner four lines of the primary hexagram. Traditional interpretations view it as a reference for the intermediate stage or hidden structure of a situation.
The current focus is on chart generation, providing structures like primary, mutual, and transformed hexagrams. Specific interpretation still requires studying questions, images, and classic texts.
You can do this for practice, but traditional divination recommends one hexagram per query. Repeatedly casting for the same question is likely to cause confusion in interpretation.
