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.

'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.'

This article offers a multidimensional exploration of Lesser Cold (Xiaohan) from the perspectives of pre-Qin Confucian and Daoist philosophy, etymological origins, astronomical observation, and phenological reasoning. It reveals the 'firm force gradually ascending' imagery of the Lin (Approach) hexagram in the twelfth month, the wisdom of birds — wild geese turning north, magpies building nests, pheasants calling — as creatures that 'sense yang and move first.' It examines the paradox of why 'Lesser Cold is often colder than Greater Cold,' and elucidates the spirit of the La sacrifice — offering thanks to origins in the depth of winter — and the ancient cosmology of the unity of Heaven and humanity.

This article offers a multi-dimensional exploration of the Spring Equinox (Chunfen) among the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, drawing on pre-Qin Confucian and Daoist philosophy, the original meanings of Chinese characters, and astronomical phenomena. By analyzing the character 'fen' (divide/equalize), the sun's alignment with the equator, and seasonal signs such as the return of swallows and the onset of thunder, it reveals the profound wisdom of 'central harmony' and the unity of Heaven and humanity embedded in the equinox's equal days and nights.

This essay strips away the veneer of divinatory numerology to return to pre-Qin astronomy and cosmology, offering a rigorous investigation of the true nature of the Six Conjunctions of the Twelve Earthly Branches — Zi-Chou, Yin-Hai, Mao-Xu, Chen-You, and the rest. It focuses on the astronomical 'conjugation' essence of the Six Conjunctions, and the philosophical implications — sealing and storing, sprouting and rising, refining and transforming, revolution and change — concealed behind their 'qi transformations.'
