When the number of small holes in the bones of the left and right chicken hexagrams is added up, there are several holes, which are the hexagrams that the owner wants to see. Generally, there are two, three, four and five hexagrams.

Chicken divination is an old divination of Buyi people. Popular among Buyi people in Guizhou. Also known as "chicken divination". Wizards and witches often ask God to send ghosts. When people are sick, talk about relatives, marry relatives, do business, make friends, travel far away, etc., they also ask wizards to read chicken hexagrams first. If they get a good omen, they will do it. If they encounter a bad omen, they will stop. There are many names of hexagrams.

The method is "kill the live chicken, cook it, take the left and right femurs of the chicken (also called" chicken handle legs "), align them side by side, incline, straight, slant and let it be natural, and then insert the needles of Chinese fir leaves or small bamboo sticks into the holes on the femurs. If the holes are opposite, the bamboo sticks will pass through the two femurs without bias, which is called" Jierong ";

If one femur has 3 holes and the other femur has 4 holes, it is called "three holes"; Each femur has two holes, which are called "intermediate points"; Two eyelets are on the bottom and three eyelets are on the top, and they can't pass through, which is called "Jiexiao". Getting the divination of "Jierong" is a good luck, which indicates that the illness will improve, the friendship will last forever, and the journey will be safe, especially when you get this divination on the ugly month of the past year.

"Jie San" and "Jie Yao divination is more auspicious", but it is unlucky to get this divination on the afternoon of the next year. "Jie Xiao" is fierce. Gradually disappeared after liberation. In the old days, Zhuang, Dong, Li, Shui, Wa and other ethnic groups were also popular, and their laws were similar. Originated from the ancient Yue people's "chicken divination".
