What is Da Liu Ren? The Most Mysterious Chinese Metaphysics System
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” — Sun Tzu
Da Liu Ren is one of the Three Styles of classical metaphysics, alongside Qi Men Dun Jia and Tai Yi Shen Shu. Often called the King of Divination, it is prized for precision, timing, and the ability to uncover hidden motives.
Where BaZi reveals your structural life map and Qi Men Dun Jia helps you position for advantage, Da Liu Ren focuses on exact timing and truth detection—pinpointing when to act, who holds leverage, and what remains concealed.
How Da Liu Ren Works (High-Level)

- Human Plate — actors, intentions, leverage, and agency
Next, we’ll dive deeper in How Da Liu Ren Works — The Three Plates and Twelve Heavenly Generals.
