The bones are first cleaned and then heated until they crack. The cracks are then interpreted by a diviner, who uses them to create a卦 (gua),or hexagram.

Hexagrams are made up of six lines, each of which can be either solid or broken. The combination of solid and broken lines creates 64 different hexagrams, each of which has a different meaning.

Oracle bones divination was first used in China during the Shang dynasty (1600-1046 BC). It was later adopted by other cultures, including the Greeks.

The Greek Ching

The Greek Ching is a book that was written by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus in the 6th century BC. It is a collection of 64 hexagrams, each of which is accompanied by a commentary.

The Greek Ching is based on the Chinese I Ching, but it is not a direct translation. Heraclitus adapted the I Ching to fit his own philosophical beliefs.

The Greek Ching is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in oracle bones divination or the I Ching. It is also a fascinating book for anyone who is interested in ancient Greek philosophy.
