n primitive times, when humanity was still groping toward an understanding of nature’s myriad beasts, China was busy using them to I predict the future. We felt sorry for these little guys who didn’t make it to the top with those 12 mighty zodiac animals, so we ventured deeper to discover some of the more esoteric methods of Chinese fortune telling.

I Ching

The I Ching was extremely important to many of the most ancient forms of divination. Versions of the so-called Book of Changes are thought to have existed before Chinese civilization began recording history. A series of hexagrams depicting yin and yang are used as the basis for interpreting sacred signs, which would typically be read in the throwing of coins, yarrow stalks or bones. An extremely complex form of fortune telling, it has since become less popular than comparatively modern methods like bazi and kau cim.
