Four ways to form the same six-line reading
Quick I Ching is a free browser tool that does not require an account. The Three-Coin Method builds six lines from the bottom upward and keeps each toss visible. The 49-stalk Yarrow route expands the full eighteen changes, including the splits and remainders behind each line. Its Mei Hua Yi Shu page uses a documented Gregorian current-time convention and asks the reader to confirm an IANA time zone before calculating the trigrams and moving line.
Manual Cast is the useful fourth route. You can enter six known values from 6 to 9, or choose a primary hexagram and mark the positions that move. Both inputs use the same deterministic transformation as the other tools, so a paper cast can be checked without adding fresh randomness.
The reading stays inspectable after the cast
Every method ends with the primary hexagram, changing positions, and the relating hexagram when movement exists. A 64-hexagram index follows the King Wen sequence, while separate guides explain changing lines, primary and relating hexagrams, and how to frame a reflective question. The question is optional and does not alter the six-line facts.
Completed readings can be saved to a browser-only History shelf. It holds up to 50 records in localStorage and has no account, database, cloud sync, or shareable reading URL. The Chinese section currently covers the Mei Hua current-time path and a basic Chinese reading; Three-Coin, Yarrow, Manual Cast, History, and the full hexagram library remain on the English site.
