Fire Pearl Forest – I Ching (Six Lines) Divination Classical Text

Book Description

For readers already familiar with Six Lines Divination, Fire Pearl Forest (Huo Zhu Lin) is an essential classic to advance your practice. As the earliest surviving systematic work on the Na Jia method, it has guided serious diviners for centuries, alongside foundational texts such as Undersea Eye and The Orthodox Method of I Ching Divination. The Six Lines Divination method is also known as the Huo Zhu Lin method, because Huo Zhu Lin offers a comprehensive, structured, and profound exposition of the theoretical foundations and practical techniques of Na Jia divination. It clarifies the core theories of Six Lines Divination and laid the groundwork for its development after the Song dynasty, securing a central place in the history of Chinese metaphysical sciences. This English edition—possibly the first—was translated by Xuan Wanyan, a Columbia University graduate from a family steeped in the I Ching tradition, making this once-esoteric system accessible to non-Chinese readers while faithfully preserving its original depth.
