About YiGram
A decision tool, not a mystical spectacle.
YiGram pairs a full traditional I Ching reading — Legge translation, modern decision interpretation, and six-line walk-through — with a traditional, rule-grounded najia engine fused with frontier AI models. The method is transparent, and every reading traces back to its rules and sources.
Rule version
najia-static · v0.1.0
Palace, najia branch, shi-ying, and six-relative tables run against this versioned ruleset. Every API response carries the version string for auditability.
Audit status
beta
v0.1.0 tables follow the standard 京房纳甲 sequence but have not yet been cross-checked against the three reference texts (卜筮正宗 / 增删卜易 / 黄金策). Status promotes to audited once the checklist is signed off.
Casting probability
Three coins · 1/8, 3/8, 3/8, 1/8
Real three-coin distribution preserved. Line value 6 lands 1/8 of the time, 7 lands 3/8, 8 lands 3/8, 9 lands 1/8. Four equal outcomes is a different ritual.
Editorial voice
Decision-book prose, not horoscope
Modern interpretations are written in restrained business prose (Greg McKeown / Annie Duke voice). No mystical vocabulary, no archetype talk, no stoic-quote padding.

Our mission
To take three thousand years of Eastern philosophy on how to live and decide, and — with modern technology — turn it into clear, accessible guidance that points you inward rather than outward. In an age of information overload, the aim isn't more noise; it's a calm structure for thinking a hard decision all the way through.
Why the I Ching
The I Ching is not some ancient fortune-telling trick. By traditional reckoning its core text reaches back roughly three thousand years, and it stands as one of the foundational texts of Eastern philosophy and culture — a structured map of how human situations change. Confucius is said to have worn out the leather binding of his copy from rereading it; Carl Jung wrote the foreword to its best-known Western edition and took it as a prime example of what he called synchronicity; and Gottfried Leibniz, who had already developed binary arithmetic, was struck by how precisely it mirrored the traditional Shao Yong ordering of the sixty-four hexagrams. We treat it as the serious work of thought it is — studied as philosophy, never sold as superstition.
