I Ching is an ancient Chinese book used for divination and fortune telling. Each reading outputs a hexagram made up of two trigrams and each trigram consists of three lines.

Each line is either continuous (⚊) or broken (⚋), yang or yin, true or false, 1 or 0, binary. There are eight possible trigrams i.e, eight possible combinations of three bits. Hexagrams are six bits, 2⁶ combinations. An example is ䷆ .which is made up of ☵ and ☷.

There are 64 possible hexagrams each with a different meaning.

The following command will output a reading inside your terminal.
