Qimen Dunjia

Qimen Dunjia (traditional Chinese: wikt:奇門遁甲 奇門遁甲; pinyin: qíméndùnjiǎ; lit. 'mysterious gates', 'hidden Jia') is an ancient Chinese divination and cosmological calculation system. It is one of the Three Styles (三式; sānshì; 'three methods') of Chinese divinatory arts, alongside Da Liu Ren and Tai Yi Shen Shu. Originally developed in the context of military strategy and statecraft, the system integrates principles from the Yijing (Book of Changes), yinyang cosmology, the Five Phases, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and astronomical observation into a structured analytical framework. Qimen Dunjia remains in active use in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and among the Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia. Quotes “The CCP says it accepts only Sinicized forms of spirituality,” one woman in Urumqi who regularly consults Qimen Dunjia masters told Bitter Winter, “but what can be more Sinicized than Qimen Dunjia? It has been practiced by great emperors and great sages, and it is certainly a part of the excellent Chinese culture the CCP says it upholds.” Han Delun (pseudonym), "Qimen Dunjia: Traditional Astrology Is Now Forbidden in Xinjiang", Bitter Winter (April 22, 2022) External links Category:China
