'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.'

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.

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 provides a rigorous exegesis of the *Analects* passage regarding Zang Wenzhong’s "usurpation of position," utilizing philological analysis and historical contextualization to examine the political ethics underlying his failure to promote the virtuous Liuxia Hui. By synthesizing evidence from the *Zuo Zhuan* and the *Records of the Grand Historian*, the study elucidates Confucius's profound discourse on the legitimacy of political authority and the moral imperatives of personnel selection.

This article offers an in-depth examination of the "Dali" chapter of the *Xunzi*, focusing on the dialectic between penal law and moral virtue (*xingde*) alongside the discourse of the "heaven-ordained people" (*tianmin*). By analyzing the historical evolution of penal practices, it elucidates the core tenets of pre-Qin Confucian populism and governance philosophy, underscoring the critical role of ritual and music in moral transformation while uncovering the metaphysical foundations of social order embedded in pre-Qin political thought.

This paper examines the physical underpinnings of pre-Qin theories of *qi*, positing *qi* as a unified abstraction of matter, energy, and information. By analyzing texts such as those by Zhuangzi and Laozi, it reveals a cognitive revolution within pre-Qin thought, transitioning from mysticism towards naturalistic rationality and redefining the core value and scientific significance of *qi* in cosmology and life sciences.
