As Vice President of the French Association of Daoïsm, I'm looking to find references (books, pictures) about a divinatino technic used in Ancient China.
This process would be made with engraved stones (12 if what I have found is true).
How to read and fin interpretations.
It seems that this technics is mentionned in two boks...
Any further information would be appreciated.
Thanks and happy new year.

Do you have a name or some other reference for that practise? Ancient China divination techniques I can think of are tortoise shell, bones, and stalks related (Yi Jing), oracular interpretations of stars, clouds, winds, and natural phaenomena, the Chinese Calendar, the Feng-Shui, and Physiognomy (Face Reading, but also Hand Reading). Some of them are namely Daoist for some writers, which it's kind of questionable. Modern Daoist sects also use Sand Writing Divination, and some scholars, like Needham and Zanon, considered the Liubo game board to have divination origins.
Could you be refering to go/qi stones used in those boards?
假如有个恶魔在某日或某夜闯入你十分孤独的寂寞中，且对你说："人生便是你目前所过、或往昔所过的生活，将来仍将不断重演，绝无任何新鲜之处。然而，每一样痛苦、欢乐、念头、叹息，以及生活中许多大大小小无法言传的事情皆会再度重现，而所有的结局也都一样——同样的月夜、枯树和蜘蛛，同样的这个时刻以及我。那存在的永恒之沙漏将不断地反复转动，而你在沙漏的眼中只不过是一粒灰尘罢了！" 那个恶魔竟敢如此胡说八道，难道你不咬牙切齿地诅咒他？还是，若在以前的话，你也许会回答他："你真是一个神，我从未听过如此神圣的道理！" - Nietzsche, "Die fröhliche Wissenschaft", § 341

I've never heard of using stones for Chinese divination. Is it similar to rune divination?

One should seek serenity to cultivate the body, thriftiness to cultivate the morals. If you are not simple and frugal, your ambition will not sparkle. If you are not calm and cool, you will not reach far. - Zhugeliang
