The Apocryphal Yì on Such-And-Such-Class Stratagems nominally by 鄭玄 (註)

The work treats shì lèi móu — divinatory stratagem-applications classified by-category — as a divinatory-cosmographic apparatus complementary to the Tōng guà yàn (KR1a0167) and the Jī lǎn tú (KR1a0164).

Abstract
The work is one of the more compact members of the Yì wěi corpus. The substantive content concerns divinatory-stratagem categorization. The Zhèng Xuán-commentary attribution is conventional and not secure.
