Ask one question. Read one hexagram.

I Ching (Book of Changes) · James Legge translation (1899) · 64 hexagrams

ZouWu is a quiet reading room built on the I Ching, the ancient Chinese Book of Changes. Write down the one thing you truly want to ask. Cast a hexagram — three coins, six tosses, or the old dayi method of fifty yarrow stalks. Then read: the Judgment, the Image, the six Lines, and a counsel written for reflection, never for prediction.

The old rule stands: the first asking is answered; to ask again and again is presumption. One question, one hexagram.

The reading room itself opens in Chinese; the hexagram library below the button is fully in English.

What you will find

The sixty-four hexagrams — each with the full classical text in James Legge's public-domain 1899 translation: the Judgment, the Great Image, and the six Lines, checked line by line against the source.
A reflective counsel — an original, plain-voice reading for each hexagram, written to help you see the road you are already on. It offers perspective; it does not promise outcomes.
Six free readings to begin — no account, nothing to install. Your question and your reading journal stay in your own browser.

Honest by design

ZouWu is for entertainment and self-reflection only. It does not predict the future and does not replace medical, financial, legal, or other professional advice.
Your question never leaves your browser. The server receives only an anonymous device identifier and the hexagram number, used to count the free readings.
