A question about the converted time

A question about the converted time
Hi I know that the book says that we must convert our time to Bejing time but since the Book of Changes....apllies glabaly, why would every place on earth have to follow Bejing's time? In addition to that, some ppl say we shouldnt convert the time (it doesnt matter) but only use our local time. But for those who havent got that much of experience yet, it would be helpful to know why is it so important to convert the time of the readings to Bejing time?

I just noticed that this topic already exists in the Forum of the Non I Ching students .

I did my i ching according to the beijing time If i didnt, my hex would be weird to me Like weird reading for my ques I usually do it in the afternoon

just noticed that this topic already exists in the Forum of the Non I Ching students . this.. ? "In the old days, the time was recorded locally by the length of the Sun's shadow. At night the water level in a graduated cylinder with water dripping into it at a regular rate was observed and the hour was read. This means that in the old days, local time was used in life reading. Various places in China have very different longitudes. There was no such thing as converting to Loyang Time or Beijing Time in the old days. Why must there be conversion now? "

And another thing... Since I live in Greece, is there a certain "better" time for me to throw the coins, or anytime would do? Even for Greek time?

there are days when it's better not to toss for anything important. i can't remember which. if it's when day strike the month or when day is bureid in month something like that.. sorry, maybe someone else remembers which days..

Because I ching has been invented in China, so they calculated the hexagrams relating to beijing's time.

Just do as I say. I have never been to China before. But based on years of experience, only Beijing time will work.

Thanks Alex, I shall do what you say since that works. Who could help me find out the difference between the time in Greece and the time in Bejing pls? When it 's 12.00 midday here in Greece what 's the time there?
