Time and numbers
Time or three numbers: the upper trigram, the lower trigram, and the moving line
Meihua first finds an upper trigram, a lower trigram, and one moving line. A time cast uses the lunar counts. A three-number cast uses three positive integers. Do not mix the two in one cast.

Host and guest
Host, guest, and the five-element relation
The trigram that holds the moving line is the guest. The other trigram is the host. The five elements are only the relation between host and guest, then the month’s seasonal mark.

Nuclear and changed
The nuclear hexagram, the changed hexagram, and where a sentence stops
The primary hexagram is the cast. The nuclear hexagram takes lines 2-3-4 and 3-4-5. The changed hexagram flips only the moving line. All three stay. They do not collapse into one luck sentence.

Where the definition sits
What Meihua looks at is written on the tool page.
What it looks at is on What Meihua is. This contents does not repeat that sentence.
The pages that follow
Time and three numbers, host and guest, and the nuclear and changed hexagrams each have one page.
Books used for the names
The transmitted Meihua Yishu checks the upper trigram, the lower trigram, and the moving line.
One transmitted text does not turn an illustration into something that has already happened.
Rules kept on every page
One cast uses either the clock or three numbers. There is one moving line.
The primary, nuclear, and changed hexagrams stay together.
Common mistakes
- Writing the definition on this contents page.
- Treating an illustration as something that has already happened.
- Merging two systems into one sentence.
