'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 Xiaoman (Grain Full), one of the twenty-four solar terms, drawing on pre-Qin Confucian and Daoist philosophy, philology, astronomy, and phenology. Through the etymology of "full yet not overflowing," and the phenological signs of bitter herbs flourishing and wheat's autumn arriving, it reveals the deep meaning behind why the twenty-four solar terms include a "small fullness" (Xiaoman) but no "great fullness"—illuminating the ancient Chinese wisdom of guarding against excess, prizing humility, of loss following fullness and gain following modesty, of completeness found even in imperfection, and the venerable cosmology of the unity of Heaven and humanity.

This article offers a profoundly detailed interpretation of the Winter Solstice among the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, drawing upon pre-Qin Confucian and Daoist philosophy, etymological analysis, and astronomical calendrics. It reveals the cosmic pivot of 'yin at its extreme giving birth to yang, the return of first yang, and the beholding of heaven and earth's heart,' examines the rites of the Round Mound sacrifice to Heaven, the origin of the calendar epoch at the month of Zi, and the foundational note of the Yellow Bell pitch-pipe, guiding you through the ancient wisdom by which our forebears discerned the generative heart of heaven and earth amid the deepest darkness.

This article takes as its core text the 'Ox Mountain' chapter from the Gaozi section of the Mengzi, and draws upon a wide range of pre-Qin philosophical sources to analyze the argumentative structure for innate human goodness, the mechanisms by which external forces damage the heart-mind, and the philosophical foundations and cultivation methods of the theory of innate goodness.
