What is Plum Blossom Numerology?
Mei Hua Yi Shu (Plum Blossom Numerology) was devised by Shao Yong in the Northern Song. No coins are needed: a hexagram is derived from a time, a number or something observed nearby, then read through the Body–Use relationship and Five Element interactions. Its strength is speed and flexibility.
What you need and what the topics cover
It suits an immediate judgement on something that has just come up. This knowledge base explains the casting methods — by time, by number, by external omen — along with Body–Use imagery and how to read nuclear and transformed hexagrams.
Interpretive limits
Plum Blossom leans on imagery and association, so the same hexagram can be read quite differently by different practitioners. Its conclusions are indicative prompts, not definite predictions.

Overview of Plum Blossom Numerology
Devised by Shao Yong in the Song dynasty, Plum Blossom is a quick divination method: anything at hand can form a hexagram, read through Body–Use and Five Element interaction.
Casting Methods
Plum Blossom is unusually flexible about how a hexagram is cast — from a number, from the time, from an object in view, or from a sound.
The Body–Use Relationship
Body–Use is the central rule of a Plum Blossom reading. The Body trigram is the self, the Use trigram the matter or the other party, and their Five Element relation decides the outcome.
Nuclear and Transformed Hexagrams
The nuclear hexagram is drawn from the primary hexagram's interior and shows the middle of a process; the transformed hexagram comes from the moving line and shows the final result.
Classifying All Things
Sorting everything in the world under the eight trigrams is the systematic method behind Plum Blossom's Later Heaven casting and its readings.
Five Element Interaction
Generation and control among the Five Elements is the core logic of a Plum Blossom reading: the relation between Body and Use decides the judgement outright.
Rapid Reading Techniques
Plum Blossom is known for speed; the standard mnemonics and techniques let a practitioner reach an accurate conclusion in moments.
Plum Blossom Mind Method
The Mind Method is Plum Blossom's advanced practice: sensing with the mind and taking images by intent, reading the hexagram directly rather than casting mechanically.
