Metaphysics CanonA disciplined library for serious study
A curated research hub of canonical sources and modern reference points across BaZi, Qi Men Dun Jia, Da Liu Ren, Yijing, Feng Shui, and the thinkers who transmitted them. Read quietly, compare patterns, and apply with discipline.
A working canon
6Connected collections
Identity, timing, verification, change, environment, and lineage are organized as adjacent lenses—not isolated silos.
How to use this reference
Start with the question. Choose the correct system.
Chinese Metaphysics contains many sophisticated methods, but they do not all answer the same question. BaZi examines personal structure. Qi Men selects advantageous timing and direction. Da Liu Ren tests uncertain situations. Yijing clarifies changing conditions. Feng Shui studies the performance of place.
The canon is most useful when these distinctions are preserved. Read the foundational entry first, compare it with an adjacent system, then record how the method performs in real cases.
The goal is not to collect terminology. It is to develop accurate judgment, clear conditions, and responsible application.
The Six Collections
Choose your field of study.
Each collection begins with a distinct practical question and leads to foundational texts, structured explainers, or research hubs.
BaZi · Structure & Archetypes
Core language for identity, roles, competencies, and conditional judgment.
Qi Men Dun Jia · Time–Space Strategy
Plates, doors, stars, and directional logic for sequencing action inside favorable windows.
Da Liu Ren · Precision Timing
Truth-testing under pressure, chart etiquette, verification, and decision use-cases.
Yijing & Ten Wings · Review Logic
Image–number language for reading situations, movement, retrospectives, and disciplined decisions.
Feng Shui · History & Methods
From classical landform and Luo Pan measurement to urbanism and integrated professional practice.
Heritage & Lineage · Thinkers & Texts
Key transmitters, reference works, and intellectual traditions that shaped modern practice.
A disciplined reading path
Turn reference into working knowledge.
A canon becomes useful through comparison, notes, cases, and review. Move slowly enough to preserve distinctions between methods.
Research standards
Study without costume.
Serious metaphysics requires historical care, methodological clarity, and honest limits. These standards keep the work useful.
Begin with a personal anchor
Identify your Day Pillar. Then study with context.
Your Day Pillar offers a practical entry into BaZi’s language of structure and archetype. Use it as a starting point—not an endpoint—before moving across the wider canon.
