Quick answer

Was the Meihua Yishu written by Shao Yong?

Tradition attributes the Meihua Yishu to Shao Yong, but modern scholarship does not regard this as proven. The book sets out how to obtain a hexagram from numbers, from objects, from sounds and from characters, and how to judge by ti and yong; the appendix reproduces Shao Yong's biography in the Song History in order to discuss the transmission lineage, not to confirm authorship.

From the article “Shao Yong and the Huangji Jingshi: Song dynasty image and number studies and the yuan hui yun shi system”
