I Ching Divination: A Practical Study Roadmap is a simplified, practice-first guide to the Na Jia Method (Wen Wang Gua), based on the classical text I Ching Divination: Complete and Restored (Zengshan Buyi, 《增删卜易》). If you want clear judgment, testable reasoning, and timing you can track in real life, this roadmap is built for you. This edition is designed to get you practicing fast, with a streamlined workflow and guided examples grounded in case logic.

This roadmap follows the tradition recorded in Zengshan Buyi, first compiled around 1690 from the manuscript of Yehe Elder (Wild Crane Elder) and organized and edited for publication by Wenhui Li (styled Jue Zi) and Li Woping. The complete work preserves 460+ real divination cases from the Six Lines (Wen Wang Gua, Na Jia Method) lineage, a rare case archive showing how judgments are formed, checked, and corrected. This edition is translated into English by Xuan Wanyan and, to the translator’s knowledge, is presented as the first complete English translation of the work.

What this simplified edition helps you do
• Start practicing immediately with a clear operational workflow for real questions
• Make structured judgments by identifying key lines, weighing supportive and conflicting signals, and forming conclusions you can test
• Approach timing in a disciplined way, not as a trick, but as a repeatable process for building a verifiable timeline

What you will find inside
• A clear six-step method for Na Jia (Wen Wang Gua) readings
• A streamlined study sequence so you know what to learn first, and what to postpone
• Guided practice on common real-life categories, including career decisions and offers, money flow and deals, relationships and reversals, and messages or outcomes you are waiting for
• Quick Memory Charts to reduce lookup friction and support repetition
• A sample chapter from I Ching Divination: Complete and Restored (Zengshan Buyi, 《增删卜易》)
• Practical case-based readings designed for training habits and judgment clarity

Important note
This is a simplified roadmap, not a replacement for the classical sources. For systematic mastery, you will ultimately want to study the complete I Ching Divination: Complete and Restored (Zengshan Buyi, 《增删卜易》) and continue into other core classics. This edition shows you the path, the method, and the study approach, so you know exactly what to read next and how to turn reading into repeatable judgment.

Who this book is for
• Beginners who want structure instead of mystique, and who want a practical way to start without getting lost
• Tarot readers, astrologers, coaches, and spiritual practitioners who want a rigorous decision tool with repeatable logic
• Serious learners worldwide who want an English-first study pathway into orthodox Six Lines practice
