In the I-Ching the Ying is represented by interrupted lines, while Yang is represented by a continuing line. In Yang, that represents the positive and dynamic principle and Yin, that represents the negative principle also considering that these two opposites complement themselves up to such point that both have become the representation of the eternal and never-ending Tai Chi. It can be said that the I-Ching is based on the polarity found in the major Eastern religions. The I-Ching speaks about a universe where the creative energy comes from the sky, while the earth becomes in the recipient and processor of such energy. This oracle is strongly related to the Chinese Buddhism and the two Chinese religions like the Taoism and the Confucianism. Moreover, the I-Ching has been more than just an oracle it could be said that it has been the divinatory expression of a philosophic method. The answers provided by this oracle depend on the situation at the time the question is made.
The I-Ching differs from these oracles because it doesn’t provide specific answers, but offers a detailed analysis of all the events asked about. From then on, the phrase that has been pointed by the finger is understood literally as the answer to the question made. Most oracles based on books used a simple technique for consultation that consist in open the book in a random page and put the finger on this. This is an ancient Chinese oracle which is based on a book that has the function of solve the questions made.
