'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.

Starting from a brief episode in the Analects, in which the noble Wenzi of Wei promotes his own household steward, Zhuan, to stand alongside him among the lords, this essay reads that small event against the great declarations of freedom and equality since the Renaissance: the West places its ideal at the starting line, while the pre-Qin thinkers built the ideal into lived reality.

This essay undertakes an in-depth study of the 'Yi' ode from the Greater Odes (Daya) section of the Classic of Poetry (Shijing) through the lens of pre-Qin thought. It examines the philological origins of the character 'yi' (restraint), confirms Duke Wu of Wei as its author with 'self-vigilance' as its guiding purpose, and elucidates the poem's emphasis on dignity, virtue, its critique of King Li's misgovernance, and its enduring political philosophy and moral cultivation significance.

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.
