I Ching, Qi Men Dun Jia, and Da Liu Ren — ritual diagnosis and strategic assessment.
易經、奇門遁甲、大六壬——儀式診斷與策略評估體系。
Overview
概述
Divination Art (卜術, Bu Shu) encompasses the classical Chinese systems for situational assessment, strategic planning, and ritual diagnosis. The three highest systems — Tai Yi (太乙), Da Liu Ren (大六壬), and Qi Men Dun Jia (奇門遁甲) — are collectively called the Three Wonders (三式). Within the Liuren Fajiao lineage, Bu Shu is approached strictly as ritual diagnosis, not fortune-telling. Its outputs inform practice; they do not replace practitioner judgment.
卜術涵蓋用於情境評估、策略規劃與儀式診斷的古典體系。太乙、大六壬、奇門遁甲合稱三式，為最高層次的卜算學問。在六壬法教傳承中，卜術以儀式診斷為宗，非命理占卜；其結果輔助修行，而非取代修行者的判斷。
Key Concepts
核心概念
All Bu Shu systems operate on the foundation of the Nine Palaces (九宮), the Eight Trigrams (八卦), the GanZhi cycle (干支), and the interaction of Heaven, Earth, and Human (天地人三才). Qi Men Dun Jia additionally employs Eight Gates (八門), Nine Stars (九星), and Eight Deities (八神). Da Liu Ren — the system at the heart of the Liuren Fajiao lineage — works with twelve divine generals and a complex temporal-spatial matrix.
卜術諸系皆以九宮、八卦、干支及天地人三才為基礎。奇門遁甲更運用八門、九星與八神。大六壬——六壬法教的核心體系——以十二神將及複雜的時空矩陣運作。
The Three Wonders (三式)
三式
Tai Yi (太乙神數) operates on the grand cycle scale, mapping national affairs and long-term trends. Da Liu Ren (大六壬) addresses human and situational affairs with precision, using the twelve divine generals. Qi Men Dun Jia (奇門遁甲) excels at strategic and tactical assessment of time-and-space configurations. Below these three stand the I Ching (易經) and its derivative systems including Liu Yao (六爻) and Mei Hua Yi Shu (梅花易數).
太乙神數以大週期推演國事及長期趨勢；大六壬以精密的十二神將體系判斷人事情境；奇門遁甲長於時空配置的策略評估。此三式之下，尚有易經及其衍生的六爻、梅花易數等體系。
