====I Ching==== [[File:Family Ba Gua.gif|thumb|The eight trigrams used in I Ching.]] The Chinese divination practice of the [[I Ching]] has several striking similarities to geomancy. It includes a series of binary trigrams (as opposed to tetragrams used in geomancy) that are generated at random, the resulting figures of which are taken in combination. However, the figures are not added or reorganized as in geomancy, but are instead taken to form a single hexagram. While there are 2<sup>3</sup>, or eight, trigrams, there are 2<sup>6</sup>, or 64, hexagrams. This yields a smaller set of resulting charts than geomancy.
