'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 offers a deep reading of the core proposition in the Xici Shangzhuan — 'What the junzi dwells in and finds peace in is the order of the Yi' — integrating the pre-Qin context, the Confucian scholarly lineage, and the structure of the Zhouyi to elucidate how the junzi, by embodying the Way of Heaven and Earth, takes the Yi as the foundation of settled existence, contemplates the images and savors the statements, and ultimately attains the state of 'auspiciousness with nothing unfavorable.'

This study offers a profound analysis of the *Zhengming* chapter in the *Xunzi*, specifically examining the philosophical implications of "the perfected names of the later kings" and "dispersed names." By situating Xunzi’s theory within the broader discourse of Pre-Qin thought, the article elucidates how the rectification of names functions as a critical nexus for political governance, social order, and epistemological framework.

This article provides an in-depth analysis of Lixia (the Beginning of Summer) through the lenses of pre-Qin Confucian and Daoist philosophy, etymological roots, and astronomical observation, elucidating its significance as the critical juncture where the cosmic momentum shifts from "birth" to "growth." By examining the evolution of the character "xia" (夏) and the movement of the star Antares, the study reveals the profound wisdom behind the ancient mandate of "respectfully bestowing the seasons" and the harmonious worldview of unity between humanity and the cosmos.
