Qimen Dun Jia was an ancient book on divination. It was the first secret skill among the three secret treasures of Qimen, Liuren, and Taiyi. It was the first of the three moves and the most logical. It contains the four cardinal guides (The modern time is converted into four pillars, and the time represented by the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches is used to start the game), Nine Palaces (consisting of Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui, Qian, and Zhonggong), Eight Gods (Zifu, Tengshe, Taiyin, Liuhe, Baihu, Xuanwu, Jiudi, Jiutian, the arrangement has to be based on the rules of the arrangement), Nine Stars (Canopy Star, Tianren Star, Tianchong Star, Tianfu Star, Tianying Star, Tianrui Star, Tianzhu Star, Tianxin Star, Tianqin Star), Eight Gates (Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Si, Jing, Kai), and Ten Heavenly Stems. Eight of them represented different meanings. The Life Gate represented wealth; the Pain Gate represented injury and disaster, which was related to charging into battle; the Stop Gate represented obstruction and hiding, which was suitable for ambushes; the View Gate represented long-term planning; the Death Gate represented stability; the Shock Gate represented right and wrong, which was different in different situations (with or without the four evils); and the Open Gate represented career opportunities. In Qimen Dunjia, there was also a saying that "Jia" was the most noble and not revealed, and "Liujia" was often hidden in the so-called "Six Yi" of "Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui." Superstitious people believed that according to Qimen Dunjia, good or bad luck could be calculated. In addition, Qimen Dunjia had also been adapted into many movies. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
"Qimen Dun Jia's main function is in divination. The divination test covered the four disks of "Heaven"(time factor),"Earth"(space factor),"Man"(human factor), and "God"(mysterious factor). According to different years, seasons, and hours, the eight gates (rest, life, injury, Du, scene, death, shock, and opening), the nine stars (Tianpeng, Tianrui, Tianchong, Tianfu, Tianqin, Tianxin, Tianzhu, Tianren, and Tianying), and the nine gods were arranged in appropriate combinations on the Nine Palaces of the Book of Luo to determine the location of good or bad luck. For example, in Qimen Dunjia, the original palace of Jingmen was in Duiqi Palace, and the three palaces of Zhensan and Xunsi were Menpis. Without the four evils, Jingmen represented eloquence, and with the four evils, it represented the situation of right and wrong. If you encounter Jingmen Menpis on matters related to measuring money, it is easy to cause disputes and may lead to official failure. The White Tiger of the Eight Gods was regarded as a fierce god in Qimen Dunjia. It could represent authority, martial strength, bloody disasters, accidents, etc., but it could also become a helper to break through the predicament under certain conditions. The combination of its position and other symbols was important to interpret the situation and predict the outcome. In addition, the "Eight Formations" that Zhuge Liang used to deduce the art of war was a manifestation of Qimen Dunjia. The novel "Battle of Yin and Yang" is equally exciting.

Qimen Dun Jia was an ancient and mysterious secret technique with many uses. From the perspective of the Eight Gates, its usage was closely related to all aspects of people's lives. The Life Gate represented wealth and could be used to analyze situations related to wealth. The Pain Gate involved charging into battle and could be used to analyze strategies in competitive or confrontational scenarios. To determine whether one would be injured or the other party would depend on the energy situation. The Stop Gate represented obstruction and resistance, and was suitable for ambushes and hiding. Traditional ancient books believed that the Stop Gate was suitable for hiding. The View Gate was related to planning and could be used to analyze whether a company or individual's business plan could be implemented. The Gate of Death symbolizes stability.(For example, people in high positions in life or at the beginning of their careers) have different influences on individuals or companies, which should be treated according to the specific situation. Jingmen means that there is a dispute between the mouth and the door. When doing things, you should avoid the situation of Jingmen being forced by the door.(The original house of Jingmen is in the seventh house, and the door is forced by the third and fourth houses. When there are no four evils, it is easy to talk. When there are four evils, it is easy to have a dispute between the mouth and the door or even an official.) Opening the door represents a career opportunity, which can be used to judge when the big career opportunity will appear. In addition, Qimen Dun Jia also had the usage of the ten-day pattern such as Ding + Ji Huo into Gouchen. The Ding + Ji pattern implied tolerance, hiding one's strength and biding one's time. It was suitable for marriage, career, cooperation, and other aspects to gradually advance with a forbearing attitude. However, one had to be wary of problems such as being too restrained, causing energy to be difficult to be revealed. From this pattern, one could also analyze various characteristics in different aspects such as being emotional, easily influenced by the outside world, lacking a sense of security, and having a yellowish or slightly dark skin color.
In 1982, Yuan Heping directed a Hong Kong-produced film, Qimen Dun Jia, which was starred by a group of seniors from the Yuan family, but the specific cast list was not found. The 2017 remake of the Hong Kong-produced film of the same name, Qimen Dun Jia, was starred by Dapeng, Ni Ni, Li Zhiting, Zhou Dongyu, Wu Bai, etc.
Qimen Dun Jia was an ancient technique with rich content. In terms of concept composition,"Qi" was B, C, and D;"Men" included the four auspicious gates of rest, life, opening, and scenery, as well as the four evil gates of injury, death, and shock;"Dun" meant hiding;"Jia" was fingernail, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, and Jiayin. It was said that the Yellow Emperor had created 4320 rounds of the Wonder Gate, and the Wonder Gate of the Yellow Emperor was based on time. The Wind Empress's Wonder Gate was based on the four seasons, with a total of 1080 rounds. Jiang Taigong set up 72 live games because he was a marquis. In Zhang Liang's era, the 12 solar terms and 36 seasons in the first half of the year were divided into nine seasons of Yang Escape and nine seasons of Yin Escape from the summer solstice to the winter solstice, totaling 18 seasons. Qimen Dunjia's divination was mainly divided into four parts: "Heaven"(time factor),"Earth"(space factor),"Human"(human factor), and "God"(mysterious factor). The nine palaces of Tian Pan had nine stars, the eight palaces of the middle plate had eight gates, and the eight palaces of the territory represented eight directions and were motionless. At the same time, each palace of Tian Pan's territory was assigned a specific "Qi"(B, C, D) and "Yi"(E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui). According to the specific time, the six instruments, three oddities, eight gates, and nine stars were arranged to measure the relationship, characteristics, and trends of things and choose auspicious times and auspicious directions. The specific application was to arrange the appropriate combination of eight gates, nine stars, and nine gods on the nine palaces of the Book of Luo according to different years, seasons, and hours, so as to judge the auspicious and ominous positions. In a philosophical sense, it was not a superstition, but a logical algorithm that was rational, scientific, and capable of reasoning and predicting the laws of change of things. It could be used as a means to solve problems. For example, the Startling Gate was located in the Duiqi Palace, and the Zhensan Palace and Xunsi Palace were Menpis. When there were no four pests, it meant that they were eloquent. When there were four pests, it meant that they were not good at talking or even being an official. In terms of cultural inheritance, Qimen Dunjia was related to Shennong's Lianshan, Xuanyuan's Guicang, and Zhou Wen Wang Ji Chang's Zhouyi, which were the foundations of China mathematics and metaphysics. The concept came from them. Furthermore, the Eight Formations that Zhuge Liang used to deduce the art of war was also a manifestation of Qimen Dunjia. In modern film and television culture, there were many films named after Qimen Dunjia. These films performed a magical interpretation of Qimen Dunjia from different angles and displayed the traditional Eastern metaphysics culture.

Qimen Dun Jia was regarded as the first secret technique among the three secret treasures of Qimen, Liuren, and Taiyi in ancient China divination works. It was the first of the three styles and the most logical. From its content, it contains four cardinal guides.(The modern time is converted into four pillars, using the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to represent the time to start the game), Nine Palaces (Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui, Qianjia Middle Palace), Eight Gods The nine stars (Canopy Star, Tianren Star, Tianchong Star, Tianfu Star, Tianying Star, Tianrui Star, Tianzhu Star, Tianxin Star, Tianqin Star), the eight gates (Rest Gate, Life Gate, Pain Gate, Stop Gate, View Gate, Death Gate, Shock Gate, Open Gate), and the ten heavenly stems (A, B, C, D, E, etc.) were all complex elements. In terms of predicting and solving problems, such as relationships, careers, wealth, health, marriage, and so on, they could analyze through the Oddity Gate Game and grasp the meaning represented by the key symbols to answer questions. For example, when facing emotional problems such as the situation where the other half cheated and could not be contacted, they could analyze the Oddity Gate Game and judge the severity of the problem by looking at the meaning represented by the symbols such as the Heavenly Stems and find the key to solving the problem. For example, solving dangerous situations such as the Heavenly Trunk Deformities in the Qimen Bureau might improve the situation. Using such a complex system to deal with different problems reflected the uniqueness and power of Qimen Dunjia. At the same time, in some fantasy martial arts movies, Qimen Dun Jia used the Qimen magic of the Hidden Fog Sect disciples to show the traditional oriental metaphysics culture. The characters in the movie used the Qimen secret techniques to fight against the villains, which also reflected the unique charm and power of Qimen Dun Jia in the creation of fictional stories.
The diagrams of Qimen Dunjia involve many aspects. The following is a brief introduction: - [The concept of a game: There are nine Yang Escape games and nine Yin Escape games, a total of eighteen games.] This was a classification based on different years, seasons, hours, and other factors. - ** Disk layout ** - Tian Pan: The Nine Palaces have nine stars (Tianpeng, Tianrui, Tianchong, Tianfu, Tianqin, Tianxin, Tianzhu, Tianren, Tianying). - ** Middle Plate **: Eight Palaces, Eight Gates (Rest, Life, Pain, Du, Scene, Death, Shock, Open). The eight gates had different meanings in Qimen Dunjia. For example, the Life Gate represented wealth, the Pain Gate was related to charging into battle or injury, the Stop Gate represented blockage and hiding, the View Gate was planning, the Death Gate represented stability, the Shock Gate was related to gossip, and the Open Gate represented career opportunities. - [Territory: The eight palaces represent eight directions and are motionless.] Each palace on the Tian Pan and the Earth Plate was assigned a specific "Qi"(B, C, D) and "Yi"(E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui). - ** Four Divination Disks **: Qimen Dun Jia's Divination Disks were mainly divided into four disks: "Heaven"(time factor, such as year, season, etc.),"Earth"(space factor, such as environment, direction, etc.),"Human"(human factor), and "God"(mysterious factor). In actual use, according to different years, seasons, and hours, the eight gates, nine stars, and nine gods were arranged in appropriate combinations on the Nine Palaces of the Book of Luo to determine the location of good or bad luck. At the same time, according to the specific time, the six instruments, three oddities, eight gates, and nine stars were arranged to measure the relationship, characteristics, and movements of things to choose the auspicious time and auspicious side. - [Eight Gates and Directions: Eight Diagrams are used to record directions. Eight Gates are distributed among them. Different Gates correspond to different meanings and functions. They are closely related to many aspects of our lives. We can grasp the quality of things through the situation of the eight Gates.] For example, the Startling Gate's original palace was in the Dui Seven Palace, and the Zhen Three and Xun Four Palaces were the Menpu. This situation required special consideration in the divination.
The screenwriters of the 1982 edition of Qimen Dun Jia were Yuan Heping, Yuan Xiangren, etc.; the screenwriters of the 2017 edition of Qimen Dun Jia were Xu Ke, Wei Junzi, Yang Bingjia, Xu Shaofei; and the screenwriter of the 2023 edition of Qimen Dun Jia 2 was Yu Ao.
The origin of Qimen Dunjia was difficult to explore. The war in the Yuan Dynasty led to the destruction of relevant historical data. It was generally believed that it originated from ancient divination. Some people said that it originated from the battle of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and Chiyou more than 4600 years ago. Legend has it that after the Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou in Zhuolu, he had a dream that the gods had bestowed him with talismans. Later, he received a letter from a colorful phoenix, which created the basic pattern of Qimen Dunjia. At first, there were 4320 games in a year. Later, it was gradually simplified. By the time of Zhang Liang of the Western Han Dynasty, it was simplified to 18 games (Yang Escape Game and Yin Escape Game), which were still used today. There were also some who believed that Qimen Dunjia originated from the Book of Changes. The basic concepts of Yin Yang, Five Elements, Four Appearances and Eight Trigrams in the Book of Changes were first introduced before Qimen Dunjia. The two were closely related. In addition, the name Qimen Dunjia only appeared in the Ming Dynasty. Its predecessor was the Yin Written Charm Scripture.
