About 3000 years ago, the first King of Zhou (周) Dynasity, Ji Chang (姬昌), was taken into custody by the last King of Shang(商) Dynasity, Yin Xin(殷辛), as a precaution of his suspected rebellion,  at  Jiu-Li town (羑里城) for seven years.  To assure to the King Xin that he has no objection to his detention, he spent all his time on researching the logic relationship of current situation of things and their trend of development.  As the result, he scripted the original version of “Book of Change”, in Chinese, Yi Jing (易经).

In this book, he categorized the status of things into 64 categories, tagged by a series of six marks of positive or negative.  The positive or negative can be either developing and deep developed.  If it is developing, in the foresee-able future, it keeps its trend.  If it is currently laready deep developed, it tends to flips its trend in the foresee-able future.

The six marks can have their independently status, developed positive, developing positive, developing negative, and developed negative, and denote the current status out of 64 possibilities and 64 type of possible changes from each possibility, to give out a prediction of an affair.

To do this, you first should figure out six key factors of the affair of interest, and evaluate their status into the four levels.  Thus you get two divinatory symbols.  The first one denote the current, the changed one denote the trend.  Then you refer the  diction in the Book of Change, you will get a good prediction about the affair of interest.
