Studies on Ancient I Ching Divination Cases (Zhouyi Gushi Kao) is a classical case-based work that shows how Zhouyi divination was practiced in real historical contexts. Compiled by the modern I Ching scholar Shang Binghe, it presents 170 case analyses drawn primarily from major Chinese historical sources, including records from the Zuo Commentary and the a-start="496" data-end="522">Discourses of the States. The cases span court politics, military campaigns, national fortune, illness, travel, omens, and private affairs, and include well-known figures such as Confucius and the Jin-era master Guo Pu.

This English edition also explains the yarrow-stalk divination procedure step by step, clarifies the meanings of “Use-Nine” and “Use-Six,” introduces the Na Jia (Wen Wang Gua) method, and preserves extensive “Hidden Object Divination” (shefu) material used for image-based training. Translated and annotated by Xuan Wanyan, the book offers a structured and method-oriented gateway to classical I Ching divination for modern readers.

Collected Insights on I Ching Divination (Yi Donglin) is a reconstructed compilation of ancient divination cases attributed to Guo Pu, assembled from classical sources such as Book of Jin: Biography of Guo Pu, Guo Shi Donglin, Taiping Yulan, and Beitang Shuchao. Although not an original standalone work, it preserves some of the earliest known records utilizing Jing Fang’s Six Lines (Na Jia) method. These cases reveal how Guo Pu integrated traditional image-and-line-based interpretations with techniques like rising and descending lines, marking a key stage in the development of Six Lines Divination. This text can be read alongside Studies on Ancient I Ching Divination Cases (Zhouyi Gushi Kao) for a deeper understanding of classical divination methods and their transmission.
