Hidden Secrets
There may be other possible motives for the imperial circle to fake Qi Men Dun Jia.
Our research (not published here) shows that Qi Men Dun Jia was created in the Ming dynasty making use of some extant system of imperial astrology. The source had to be a form of astrology known only to the imperial circle. Such an astrology was Zi Wei Dou Shu, Purple Star Astrology.
Zi Wei Dou Shu has a number of sets of stars, totally to some over 140 stars. In a past article, the author has shown that the 3 dozens stars of Ba Zi Eight Characters were forged from 3 sets of stars from Zi Wei Dou Shu - see article . 140 stars could not come from 3 dozen stars but the other way round. Zi Wei Dou Shu uses the luni-solar calendar, indicating it was far older than Ba Zi Eight Characters divination which uses the newer solar calendar.
The same evaluation shows that Qi Men Dun Jia was created from 2 sets of stars from Zi Wei Dou Shu. That part of Zi Wei Dou Shu concerned with purposes associated with Qi Men Dun Jia is probably a potent way of calculating some of the Zi Wei Dou Shu stars. But imperial distortions had destroyed the efficiency of this part of Zi Wei Dou Shu.
- I am afraid to say that we have found out that Liu Ren was also faked from 2 sets of stars from Zi Wei Dou Shu.
Have no doubt! The parent source of many Chinese astrology arts was Zi Wei Dou Shu with its over 140 stars in several sets. It was used by the emperors to fake arts like Qi Men Dun Jia, Liu Ren and Tai Yi. "Three Arts or Three Styles" (San Shì), said to be China's highest metaphysical arts? The current versions are only fakes!
It is said that arts like Qi Men Dun Jia and Liu Ren have millions of combinations. Yet, such arts only utilise 2 or 3 dozens of the stars of Zi Wei Dou Shu. Hence, by comparison, the combinations in Zi Wei Dou Shu will run into even more billions!
Our research is recovering the original forms of Qi Men Dun Jia, and also Liu Ren, Tai Yi and Ba Zi Eight Characters divination. They are likely and throw light on special applications of parts of Zi Wei Dou Shu.
It will be probably too complicated to convey through the web, but we may teach all these in our Zi Wei Dou Shu course.
