'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 reading of Major Snow (Daxue) among the twenty-four solar terms, drawing upon pre-Qin Confucian and Daoist philosophy, etymological origins, astronomy, and phenology. It analyzes the etymology of 'da means flourishing — at this point snow flourishes,' examines the Hexagram of Return (Fu) with its 'single yang returning' in the zi month, and reveals the virtue of auspicious snow sealing and protecting nascent yang, along with the profound cosmology of 'supreme yin birthing yang — the heart of Heaven and Earth.'

This article offers an in-depth reading of the twelve characters 'Frost's Descent — welcome the bride; ice thaws — gradually cease; every ten days — one conjugal union,' tracing their origins through the Rites of Zhou, the Record of Rites, and other pre-Qin classics, and analyzing the marriage-season restrictions, yin-yang philosophy, agrarian-political considerations, and conjugal temperance they encode, with the aim of reconstructing the core of the pre-Qin ritual-thought system.

This article offers an in-depth analysis of the core proposition of 'yao effecting and xiang imaging' in the Xici zhuan (Great Commentary) of the Zhouyi, examining the dynamic and static distinction between 'effecting' and 'imaging,' tracing the referent of 'this,' and elucidating how yao and xiang constitute the epistemological framework through which the Way of the Yi reveals the subtle and the manifest.
