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.

'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.

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 Great Heat (Dashu), the twelfth of the twenty-four solar terms, through the lenses of pre-Qin Confucian and Daoist philosophy, classical etymology, and astronomical phenology. It reveals the cosmic significance of the sun reaching ecliptic longitude 120°, when summer heat attains its zenith, and explores the Earth virtue of late summer, the metamorphosis of rotting grass into fireflies, and the hexagram Dun with its two rising yin lines — illuminating the ancient wisdom of reversal at the extreme and counterbalancing excess.

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.
