An old ritual, a little room to think.

Seyro (得象) is an experiment by Chen Xiaosheng: two traditional ways to cast an I Ching hexagram, brought to the browser. Nothing to buy, no account to create. The ritual forms the pattern; its meaning remains yours to explore.

得象,是一个关于古法与静心的实验。保留三钱与蓍草的起卦过程,将匆忙的一问,留成片刻的认真。两种方法与全部卦笺免费开放;只呈现卦象,不替你解读。

Coin Method / 三钱筮法

Three coins, six throws. Each throw forms one yin or yang line, building a hexagram from the bottom up. The visible coin faces match the line recorded.

Yarrow Method / 大衍蓍草法

Forty-nine stalks. Divide, set one aside, count in fours and gather the remainders. Three rounds form each line; eighteen rounds form the hexagram. The animation follows the calculation.

Does Seyro interpret the result? / 提供解卦吗?

No. Seyro shows the casting process, primary hexagram and a relating hexagram when changing lines occur. It does not provide predictions or medical, legal or financial advice. Consider real-world evidence when making decisions.

Can I use Chinese? / 可以使用中文吗?

Yes. Open Journal → About → Language to switch between English and Simplified Chinese. 在「Journal → About → Language」中切换中文。两种语言使用相同的起卦规则。
