Liubo

( 2008-07-07 )

It is clear that the players did not simply throw the sticks, but they rather placed them in order to interpret them. Then, the result was comparable to the famous hexagrams, related to the Tao philosophy, and the Yijing, the Book of Changes. Made of six continuous or dotted lines, representing
the yang and the yin principles respectively, they were the key of the Chinese astrology.

The Liubo appears to have borne a strong mystical spirit and its board was at the same time a cosmological, a calendar and a divination instrument.
