Though there are a number of well-written works on Chinese divination, there are none that deal with the three sophisticated devices that were employed by the Chinese Astronomical Bureau in the eleventh century and for hundreds of years thereafter. Chinese experts applied the methods associated with these devices to both weather forecasting and to the interpretation of human affairs. Hidden by a veil of secrecy, these methods have always been relatively little known other than by their names. The first work in any language to explore these three methods, known as sanshi (three cosmic boards), this book sheds light on a topic which has been shrouded in mystery for centuries, having been kept secret for many years by the Chinese Astronomical Bureau.
This book is primarily intended for looking up Zi Wei Dou Shu terms by users who do not know about ZWDS and beginners rather than a ZWDS chart reading guide book. However, if you have a grasp of the book, you will naturally know how to read a ZWDS chart. It is because the book helps you understand each brick and general structure of a house. Once you have a solid understanding, you can naturally build the house. All learning subjects have static and dynamic aspects. The static part is temporarily acquired by the learner, usually consisting of prerequisites and conceptual definitions. The static part is inherited from previous scholars and classic texts. The dynamic part is the result of the user's experience and the consolidation of knowledge. There are exceptional users who have the ability to revisit and upgrade the static part, such as Albert Einstein. But for most of us, when we first learn, we have to absorb the classical knowledge first and then apply and transform it later. Within the framework of this book, the terms are only explained in the most basic way to give you an idea and visualization, rather than providing complete and perfect explanations.
Portability is the Name of the Game Losing none of the essential information from the regular Ten Thousand Year Calendar, this mini-sized edition is an indispensable resource for students and practitioners on-the-go. Lugging around big volumes is simply no longer a must, as you can whip this essential reference anytime, anywhere. Handy, informative and convenient - all in your pocket.
