On China's Ancient Divination and Numerology Works

1. Yuan Hai Zi Ping, five volumes, written by Xu Zisheng in Song Dynasty. Yuan Hai Zi Ping is the first book in ancient China that systematically expounded the eight-character numerology, which had a great influence on the development of numerology in China. This book is divided into five volumes. The first volume includes five chapters: The Beginning of Five Elements, The Generation of heavenly stems and earthly branches, The Combination of Heaven and Dry, The Orientation of Ten Branches and Twelve Branches, The Annotation of Sixty Flowers and Jiazi, The Birth and Death of Heaven and Dry, etc., which comprehensively introduces the basic knowledge of eight-character numerology. The second volume contains chapters such as "following the good chapter" and "seeing the fate", and introduces various eight-character patterns in detail. The third volume contains six chapters, such as general introduction of six parents, songs of six parents, about father, about mother, about brothers and sisters, about children's interests and about children. The fourth volume includes Fu, Bi, Love-hate Fu, Fu, Four-word Step by Step, Five-word Step by Step and other chapters. There are five volumes of official poems, partial official poems, positive wealth poems, seal poems, food poems and wounded official poems.

2. Twelve volumes of "Three Sessions", written by Ming Wanminying. San Tong Ming Hui Ji is extremely complicated, involving all aspects of the numerology of Zi Ping, so it is often regarded as a summary of numerology by later generations. Just because it is too complicated and inevitably inaccurate, it is necessary to adapt the general idea.

3. Ten volumes of Xingping Huihai and Xingping Huihai are unknown. The book not only discusses the five-star numerology, but also discusses Ziping's numerology, and includes chapters such as A Line of Tianyuan Fu, Jade Show Original Works, and Wonderful Selection of Lantai. Among them, the life figures contained in the wonderful selection of Lantai are mostly far-fetched words, which are often criticized by later scholars.

4. The Covenant of Numerology and the Covenant of Numerology consist of four volumes, written by Chen Su 'an in Qing Dynasty. Volume one is dharma, volume two is fu, volume three is theory, and volume four is miscellaneous theory. This book was annotated by Wei Qianli, a numerologist in the Republic of China, and it was very popular.

5. Tieqiao's Four Volumes of Tianmu Tiny Drops in Qing Dynasty. It is said that the book "Dripping Water" was written by Jing Tu and was noted by Liu Bowen in the early Ming Dynasty. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, Ren Tieqiao, a scholar, devoted his life to the study of numerology. At that time, numerology deviated from the restraint principle of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and was chaotic, and focused on miscellaneous forms and evil spirits. Combined with his life's numerology practice, it was annotated in chapters to clarify the subtle and subtle, thoroughly clean up the roots, and took a large number of people's nature as an example to clarify the misunderstanding, and the mission theory returned to the road and became more mature. As soon as this book came out, Luoyang Paper was expensive for some time, and people scrambled to copy it as a classic application and pass it on from generation to generation. Later generations commented on "Interpretation of the Sui Dynasty in the Field" and said: "In the old books, Sui and Zi Pingzhen are all the first two, which are the most complete and detailed, and the later words command scholars to say a thousand words, which cannot be exceeded, such as rivers, the sun and the moon, and cannot be abandoned. Later, scholars studied the principle of numerology and won't go astray if they got these two books. They can also combine genius, knowledge and experience, and they will become saints in the future! "

6. Comments on Zi Quan and Zi Quan by Shen Xiaozhan, a Qing Jinshi. The book takes the moon as a mirror, takes God as a taboo, especially analyzes the success or failure of God, the restraint of God, the avoidance of Western gods, the thorough participation of God, ruthlessness, powerlessness and so on. After the compilation and publication of Wood in the early Republic of China, many readers found it too abstruse and called for the publication of an introductory book on numerology. This book is specially invited by the famous numerologist Mr. Xu to comment on it, with detailed explanations and rich examples, which is the easiest for beginners to get started. If Wood is the profound academic of China's traditional numerology, like the fruit at the top of the tree, then Zi Shi Ping is its ladder teaching material, like a ladder to harvest the fruit. Two books, one shallow and one deep, are indispensable. Only when they are matched with each other can they become a perfect match. Later generations commented on Zi Quan, saying: "In the old books, Mu Hezi is the first two books, which are the most complete and detailed, and the latter words command scholars, and there are thousands of words that cannot be surpassed, such as rivers, the sun and the moon, and cannot be abandoned. Later, scholars studied the principle of numerology and won't go astray if they got these two books. They can also combine genius, knowledge and experience, and they will become saints in the future! "

7. Poor Bao Tongjian, also known as Lanjiang Net, consists of two volumes, the author of which is unknown. "Poor Mirror" is dedicated to the five elements of wealth and mutual imprisonment, which can be described as accurate. Later scholars' views on the rise and fall of the Five Elements are mostly based on this book.

8. The Origin of Numerology is eight volumes, written by Yuan Shushan, a famous numerologist in the Republic of China. The Origin of Numerology is a masterpiece, which systematically summarizes the theories and viewpoints of China's ancient numerology and criticizes and interprets them. It is a practical and knowledgeable numerology encyclopedia. This paper introduces the simple concept and principle of numerology, the method of inferring fate, the judgment of good and bad luck and the relationship between the five elements in detail, and lists a large number of examples, which is very beneficial for us to understand the traditional numerology culture.

9. Six volumes of Shenfeng Tongkao, written by Zhang Nan in Ming Dynasty. There are a lot of songs about life in Shenfeng Tongkao, and the principle of taking and using the spirit of diseases and drugs advocated by it has continued to this day.

10. A Thousand Li Manuscripts is the representative work of Wei Qianli, a famous numerologist in the Republic of China. Wei, Xu and Xu were called the three great masters of life science in Shanghai at that time. When Wei Qianli wrote this book, he was only in his twenties. This book is fluent in writing, clear in explanation, and accompanied by a large number of life examples, all of which are personally approved by Webster and verified by facts, which is precious. What is more commendable is that Webster was only in his twenties when he wrote this book, and it is amazing that he has studied it so deeply.
