Chinese Iching


The I Ching or "Yi Jing", known as "The Book of Change" or "Classic of Change" , is one of the oldest known documents in the world. The I Ching can be traced as far back as 3000 years in written form, and the Chinese claim that it was passed down as oral tradition for two thousand years before that.

The Book of Changes is an ancient Chinese system of divination. An oracle is cast by flipping coins or more traditionally, by manipulating yarrow stalks. The oracle is one of 64 different hexagrams. The hexagram itself is composed of two trigrams, each consisting of three lines. Those lines are either straight (Yang) or broken (Yin).

A Bagua Map is a tool used in Feng Shui to map a room or location and see how the different sections correspond to different aspects in one's life. The Bagua Map is based on the I Ching, the Chinese Book of Changes. 'Bagua' is translated directly as 'eight trigram', which describes the eight basic blocks surrounding the center of a room or location. The map is intended to be used to map one's home or office and find areas lacking good chi, and to demonstrate how those physical areas are reflected in one's life
