This article offers an in-depth philological investigation of the passage from the Xici Shangzhuan (Great Commentary on the Yijing): 'The junzi, when at rest, contemplates the images and savors the texts; when about to act, observes the transformations and savors the divination.' It restores how the pre-Qin junzi attained existential security through apprehending the 'order' (xu) of the Yi, and internalized cosmic order into personal cultivation through an attitude of aesthetic 'savoring' (wan).

This article offers an in-depth investigation into the pre-Qin, high-antiquity origins and inner rationale of the Six Combinations and their Qi transformations among the Twelve Earthly Branches (e.g., Zi-Chou combining to transform into Earth). Through textual examination of the Earthly Branches' origins, their connection with Jupiter's orbital cycle, the correspondences between the twelve months and the twelve sovereign hexagrams, and the spatial positioning of the four Earth-branches at the four inter-cardinal directions, the essay reveals the profound astronomical and yin-yang philosophical underpinnings of the Earthly Branch system as a cornerstone of Chinese metaphysical arts.

'An in-depth analysis of the Da You hexagram through the lens of paleography and Zhou Dynasty history. Exploring the original theology of "Great Possessing," the political structure of the hexagram, and the philosophical ladder from commoner to the Son of Heaven.'

This article offers a deep exploration of the philosophical significance of Hexagram 37 'Jiaren' (Family) in the Zhouyi (Book of Changes), analyzing the relationship between the Wind-over-Fire trigram image and the Way of the family, and elucidating the foundational status of 'family' in ancient social structures through pre-Qin Confucian thought on 'roots' (ben) as found in Confucius, Mencius, and the Great Learning.

This article offers a multi-dimensional exploration of the Spring Equinox (Chunfen) among the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, drawing on pre-Qin Confucian and Daoist philosophy, the original meanings of Chinese characters, and astronomical phenomena. By analyzing the character 'fen' (divide/equalize), the sun's alignment with the equator, and seasonal signs such as the return of swallows and the onset of thunder, it reveals the profound wisdom of 'central harmony' and the unity of Heaven and humanity embedded in the equinox's equal days and nights.

This article investigates the central thesis of the Xi Ci Shang Zhuan (Great Commentary, Upper Section) of the Zhouyi — how the sage transforms the hidden textures of reality (ze) into externalized images (xiang) through the cognitive leap of 'gazing upward and examining below.' It reveals the inner connection between yao (lines) and ancient ceremonial institutions, reconstructing the foundations of Yijing theory.
