Plum Blossom Divination

Plum Blossom Divination [ Mei Hua Yi Shu / 梅花易數 ] is a Yi Jing [ 易經 ] method used to make prediction without using the Yi Jing [ 易經 ] text. The method was invented by Shao Yong (1011 – 1077 C. E. ). It is different than the usual Yi Jing Divination method because it does not use coins or yarrow stalks exclusively.
