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.

'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.

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 a deep reading of Minor Heat (Xiaoshu) through the dimensions of pre-Qin Confucian and Daoist philosophy, classical etymology, and astronomy and phenology. It analyzes the dual meanings of heat in the character 'shu' and the moderation implied by 'minor' as yet unextreme, reveals the noble person's way of withdrawing at the height of flourishing and retreating while the current still runs strong as expressed in the hexagram Dun (Retreat), and explores the ancient wisdom of Earth virtue presiding at the center of late summer and of nurturing the heart through concealment and stillness — inviting readers to return to a world of resonance between heaven and humanity.

This article provides a rigorous philological and historical analysis of the Analects passage, "Alas! I have never seen anyone who loves virtue as much as they love physical beauty." By examining the inherent tension between natural human desire and moral cultivation, the study reconstructs Confucius’ profound disillusionment with the human condition while elucidating the Confucian imperative of prioritizing moral integrity in governance.
