'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 an in-depth interpretation of Lichun (the Beginning of Spring), the first of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, through the multiple lenses of pre-Qin Confucian and Daoist philosophy, philology, and astronomical phenomenology. By tracing the origin of the character "chun" (萅), the image of the three yang lines ascending in the Tai hexagram, and the mythic archetype of the wood spirit Goumang, it reveals the profound significance of Lichun as the node of the year's beginning and the origination of all things, returning readers to the ancient world of the ancestors' communion between Heaven and humanity.

This article focuses on the opening chapter of the Guiguzi, 'Enriching the Spirit by Emulating the Five Dragons' (Sheng Shen Fa Wu Long), offering exegesis and critical analysis of the original text from a Pre-Qin perspective, drawing upon texts no later than the two Han dynasties. It explores the meaning of 'enriching the spirit,' the cosmogony of Dao and Qi, the distinction between the True Person and the Sage, and the inner connections among method, spirit, mind, and vital breath, aiming to reveal this chapter's scholarly value as the programmatic foundation of the entire Guiguzi.

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.
