'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.

Drawing on pre-Qin Confucian and Daoist philosophy, etymology, astronomy, phenology, and the legend of Cangjie's invention of writing, this article offers an in-depth reading of the Guyu (Grain Rain) solar term. It examines the humane grace of Heaven and Earth embodied in "rain giving birth to the hundred grains," the firm-yet-yielding way of hexagram Guai's "resolving away the last remnant of yin," and the profound meaning behind "Heaven rained down millet, and ghosts wept in the night" at the origin of writing—returning readers to the ancient world of the unity of Heaven and humanity.

This article offers a deep reading of Great Cold (Dahan), the final of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, drawing on pre-Qin Confucian and Daoist philosophy, etymological analysis, and astronomical and phenological traditions. It reveals the dialectic of extreme cold and returning spring, the cyclic principle that every ending harbors a new beginning, and illuminates the late-winter rites of the Grand Nuo exorcism and the clay ox ceremony—inviting the reader into the ancients' cosmic wisdom of 'tracing origins by returning to endings' and the eternal circle of ceaseless renewal.

This article offers an in-depth reading of the core proposition concerning the Xian (Influence/Resonance) hexagram of the Yijing: 'The Xian of the Yi reveals husband and wife. The way of husband and wife must not be left uncorrected, for it is the root of ruler-minister and father-son relations.' It systematically examines the hexagram's position in the structure of the Yi, the etymological relationship between xian and gan (resonance), and analyzes how 'the soft above and the firm below' embodies the principle of yin-yang sympathetic resonance and its foundational significance for pre-Qin ethical order.
