The Tao Te Ching, I-Ching, Yi Jing
Yi means Changes and Jing means Classic
At times life can get to be too much, and then there are times when life can be quite boring.
The I-Ching is based on this very concept of Space and Energy and the flow between the two. They are referred to in this oracular system as the status between Chaos and Order or Yang and Yin. To the Chinese this was the ultimate map of Heaven and Earth. This system is the oldest divinatory system which we have.
The predecessor of the I-Ching, the Yi Jing, was a book, Changes of the Zhou, which dated back to 1122-256 BC during China's Zhou Dynasty. During the Han Dynasty it was canonized into The Book of Changes, as we now know it.
The I-Ching oracle was first done by the scattering of yarrow stalks. As these stalks were tossed to the ground, a very complex system of separation was used to determine which were to be put aside and which were kept. By using the random ordering of these tosses of yarrow stalks, the ancient would divine the meaning of a given situation. The Book of Changes expresses those possible variations and combinations. Today, instead of tossing yarrow sticks, we toss coins which determine the trigrams and hexagrams for our oracular reading.
There are 64 hexagrams which consist of all the possible combinations of the eight trigrams in the I-Ching system: Energy, Shake, Gorge, Bound, Space, Root, Radiance, and Open. These are also known by a slight variation of wording; however, they are meant to represent the same basic constituents of nature. Here they appear with with one such variation of labels. The solid line represent Yang and the broken line represents Yin.
