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.
