01Core principles
Core principles
Translate formulas into structure: what enters, how the model is arranged, and which relations drive interpretation.
A ground division is established from direction or the inquirer's position, then monthly general, hour and noble-spirit rules create four layers, which are compared through yin-yang, phases, combination and clash.
Key concepts
- ground division
- general
- noble spirit
- human origin
02Origins and historical development
Origins and historical development
Keep traditional accounts, surviving evidence and later transformations distinct.
Generally treated as a Liuren branch, it has numerous oral and family lineages in modern times. Titles, formulas and complete layouts differ across witnesses.
STUDY / Dà Liùrén Jīnkǒujué
The four positions of Jinkoujue
- Materials and inputs
- Earth division, human element, noble agent, general and selection rules
Research question
Are construction and interpretive selection drawn from one edition?
Practical exercise
Give each position a row for source, calculation, relation and interpretation. Change one convention at a time when comparing two manuals.
03Evidence limits and research debates
Evidence limits and research debates
Distinguish traditional interpretations, documented material and claims requiring testing.
The name Sun Bin's lesson is a traditional attribution; sufficiently early evidence of invention by the Warring States strategist is lacking.
This dossier supports historical, textual and methodological study. Internal traditional explanations are not modern empirical validation and do not replace medical, legal, financial or other professional advice.
