'An in-depth analysis of the core differences between the "Life Chart" (Mingpan / Zhongshen Pan) and the "Hourly Chart" (Shi Pan / Shijia Qimen) in Qimen Dunjia. Exploring from the dimensions of temporal scope, analytical logic, application range, and philosophical essence, this article reveals the dialectical relationship between fate and contingency in Yixue divination.'

A thorough exploration of the principles behind Qimen Dunjia's capacity for 'multiple judgments from a single chart.' Through holographic cosmology, multidimensional coordinate systems, the symbolic system of universal correspondences, and the shifting of Taiji focal points, this article dissects the core mechanisms of what is regarded as the highest art of divination in ancient China.

Starting from the mathematical structure of Taiji, the Two Modes, Four Images, and Eight Trigrams in the Book of Changes, this article systematically explores the information-carrying capacity of Bazi and Qimen Dunjia as divinatory systems. Through analysis of Yin-Yang, the Five Phases, the Hetu and Luoshu, and other classical mathematical foundations, it seeks to provide a unified perspective for measuring and comparing the information volume of these two arts.

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 essay strips away the veneer of divinatory numerology to return to pre-Qin astronomy and cosmology, offering a rigorous investigation of the true nature of the Six Conjunctions of the Twelve Earthly Branches — Zi-Chou, Yin-Hai, Mao-Xu, Chen-You, and the rest. It focuses on the astronomical 'conjugation' essence of the Six Conjunctions, and the philosophical implications — sealing and storing, sprouting and rising, refining and transforming, revolution and change — concealed behind their 'qi transformations.'

This article offers an in-depth reading of the 'Jiebi' chapter of the Xunzi, exploring the cognitive roots of the 'calamity of obscuration' among the pre-Qin thinkers. Through an analysis of 'the Dao embodies constancy and encompasses all change,' it reveals the predicament of human cognition clinging to 'a single corner,' and elucidates the transcendent value of Confucius's 'benevolence and wisdom, unobscured,' with the aim of understanding how to overcome cognitive bias.
