About This Item
An ancient text with origins thought to range between the 10th and 4th centuries BC for the assembly in its current form. A type of divination using six random numbers arranged in hexagonal shapes which can then be looked up in the text. Studied and endlessly interpreted over the centuries, many have used the book symbolically, seeking guidance for decision making as informed by Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.
