Lingqijing
Lingqijing is a Chinese book of divination. It is not known when, nor by whom, it was written, though a legend has spread that strategist Zhang Liang received the book from Huang Shigong, a semi-mythological figure in Chinese history. The first commented edition of the work appeared in the Jin Dynasty.
As its name suggests, the work concerns "divining" with tokens, such as Chinese chess pieces.
Twelve Xiangqi pieces are used; each piece is a disc with a character on one side, and the other side unmarked. Four have the character for "up", four have the character for "middle", and four have the character for "down", representing respectively the Three Realms: Heaven, Humanity, and Earth.
These pieces are cast onto a surface, and the text of the Lingqijing the resulting combination is in for what fortune the combination means.
The text of the Lingqijing has an entry for all 125 combinations.
