Ask Yi - I Ching Reading

Named after the classic Chinese text Yi Jing (Book of Changes), the app enables users to receive personalized I Ching readings by posing questions about their life circumstances, relationships, career decisions, or personal challengesthen receiving AI-interpreted guidance drawn from the 64 hexagrams and accompanying texts of the I Ching tradition.

The I Ching is one of the world's oldest divination systems, dating back over three thousand years and forming the philosophical foundation for many aspects of Chinese thought including Taoism, Confucianism, and traditional medicine.

Its 64 hexagramseach formed by six stacked lines that are either broken (yin) or solid (yang)represent different patterns of change, situation, and potential.

Traditional I Ching readings use coin tosses or yarrow stalk counts to generate hexagrams, a ritual process that Ask Yi modernizes through digital randomization while preserving the interpretive depth of the traditional texts.

Ask Yi's AI interpretation layer is what distinguishes it from a simple digital hexagram generator.

When a hexagram is generated in response to the user's specific question, the AI draws on the classical I Ching textsincluding the hexagram name, judgment, images, and line commentariesand contextualizes this ancient wisdom in relation to the user's stated situation.

Rather than presenting a generic translation of the hexagram's traditional meaning, the AI generates a reading that speaks directly to the user's question and personal circumstances, making the I Ching's symbolic language practically applicable to contemporary life.
