Shaokangjie, also known as Shaoyong, is a philosopher and Yi scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty. His Huangji Jingshi has been highly praised by later generations and is considered to be an unprecedented book at all times, at home and abroad. The following is an introduction to the prediction of shaokangjie’s Huangji Jingshi:

1、 Prediction method
The prediction method of Huangji Jingshi is mainly based on the time system of “yuan, Hui, Yun, Shi” created by Shao Yong, and combined with the 64 hexagrams to predict the changes of the world. Among them, “Yuan” is the largest time unit, representing a complete cosmic cycle, with a total of 129600 years; “Meeting” is a time unit under the Yuan Dynasty. Each meeting contains 30 games, with a total of 10800 years; “Yun” will be divided into 12 generations, each lasting 360 years; The “world” is the smallest time unit of transportation, and each world is 30 years. Through this time system, Shao Yong combined with the changes of Yi Gua to speculate on the future changes of the world.

2、 Forecast content
Historical cycle: Shao Yong believes that the development of history follows certain periodic laws, and each cycle includes four levels of time units: yuan, Hui, Yun and Shi. Through this system, he tried to reveal the internal logic and trend of historical development.
Future forecast: according to the forecast of Huangji Jingshi, from 1984 to 2043, the Chinese region will be in the world divination period of dinggua, which is considered to be the peak period of prosperity. In the next 60 years, from 2044 to 2103, the worldly hexagram will become a departure hexagram, and the next 60 years will be a full hexagram. Shao Yong speculated about the good and bad fortune of the future world through the changes of divinatory symbols.
Specific events: Although Huangji Jingshi mainly focuses on macro history and world events prediction, Shaoyong also tried to speculate on specific events through hexagrams. For example, he predicted the specific events such as guanmeizhan and Mudanjian through the plum blossom Yi Shu, which reflected the magical effect of the plum blossom Yi Shu in predicting the various forms of life.

3、 Forecast characteristics
Macro perspective: Shaoyong’s prediction method has a macro perspective. He tries to grasp the general trend of the future by revealing the periodic laws of the universe and history.
Symbolic meaning: in Huangji Jingshi, Shao Yong used a lot of symbols and metaphors to reveal the future trend and good or bad luck through the changes of hexagrams. These symbols and metaphors often have profound philosophical and enlightening significance.
Uncertainty: Although Shaoyong’s prediction method has certain accuracy, the future development is still full of uncertainty. Therefore, his prediction can only be used as a reference, not completely dependent.

4、 Evaluation
As Shao Yong’s great book of Yi ology, Huangji Jingshi not only embodies the breadth and depth of Yi ology, but also provides a new perspective for people to understand the world and predict the future. However, due to the uncertainty of future development, Shao Yong’s prediction method can’t predict the future completely and accurately. At the same time, the prediction method of Huangji Jingshi is rather obscure and difficult to understand, which also limits its promotion and popularization in practical application.

Shaokangjie’s Huangji Jingshi is a great book of Yi ology with profound philosophical and enlightening significance. Although the prediction method has certain accuracy, it still needs to make rational analysis and judgment based on the actual situation.
