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 rule-grounded najia layer that feeds the AI prompt without polluting the surface. The method is explicit and the output stays practical.

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

unaudited_draft

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.

Source policy

Legge public domain + Hatcher CC-BY + classical self-translated

Legge (1882) public-domain translation is quoted directly; Bradford Hatcher (2009) under CC-BY 4.0 with dofollow attribution at up to 200 words per page; Wang Bi, Zhu Xi, and Bushi Zhengzong quoted in original Chinese with English translations by YiGram Editorial. No third-party modern English translation is reused.

Editorial stance

The first release uses a brand- and methodology-led identity. Personal details are intentionally minimal; trust comes from transparent rules, clear sources, versioned changes, and user feedback. Every flagship hexagram carries a publication date, an update date, and an explicit Sources block.

Visual stance

The product uses black ink, paper texture, and print-style typography. It avoids badges, decorative astrology, ornamental color, and emoji. The interface treats the question with the same seriousness it deserves.
