001 I Have The Fish

(A group photo of ten people with the words I have the fish written on it is attached below)

How many mysteries are hidden in this photo?

002 Qimen Dunjia

The diagram of the eight gates is below. The eight gates are: Rest (Xiumen, ), Life (Shengmen, ), Injury (Shangmen, ), Failure (Dumen, ), Pleasure (Jngmen, ), Death (Simen, ), Fear (Jngmen, ), and Prosperity (Kaimen, ).

The legends of Qimen Dunjia:

What is Qimen Dunjia? It is composed of three concepts: Qi (), Men (), and Dunjia (). (1)

Qi includes three things: Yi (), Bing () and Ding (). (2)

Men includes eight things: Xiu (), Sheng () , Shang (), Du () , Jng (), Si (), Jng (), and Kai (). (3)

Dun means hiding.

Jia refers to the six Jia (): Jiazi (), Jiaxu (), Jiashen (), Jiawu (), Jiachen (), and Jiayin (). (4)

Dunjia is the most noble among the ten Heavenly Stems and has hidden meanings. It is hidden under the Six Yi (), which include: Wu (), Ji (), Geng (), Xin (), Ren (), and Gui (). (5)

The principles of Dunjia are that Jiazi hides under Wu (), Jiaxu hides under Ji (), Jiashen hides under Geng () , Jiawu hides under Xin (), Jiachen hides under Ren (), and Jiayin hides under Gui ().

They also come with nine planets: Tianpeng (), Tianren (), Tianchong (), Tianfu (), Tianying (), Tianrui (), Tianzhu (), Tianxin (), Tianqin (). (6)

The divination of Qimen Dunjia is mainly divided into three parts: Heaven plate, Gate plate, and Earth plate. They symbolize three styles.

The nine palaces in the Heaven plate have the nine planets.

The eight palaces of the middle plate (the second circle according to the picture) have eight gates.

The eight palaces of the Earth plate represent eight positions that cant be moved.

At the same time, each palace in the Heaven and Earth plate is assigned a specific Qi (Yi, Bing, Ding) and Six Yi (Wu, Ji, Gen, Xin, Ren, Xing, Ren).

As a result, people can use the Six Yi, Three Qi, and Nine Planets to predict things like relationships, traits, the future, or even choose auspicious times and places according to the specific time and date.

This constitutes a unique category in Chinese mystical culture Qimen Dunjia.

Human-faced snakes (with related illustrations)

Looking at these things, I highly suspect that humans are descendants of snakes.

There is a strange phenomenon in ancient Chinese history where a large number of records about gods and spirits are related to snakes.

Jiazi () 1st year of the 60-year cycle where each year is numbered with 1 of the 10 Heavenly Stems.

Jiaxu () 11th year A11 of the 60-year cycle, e.g. 1994 or 2054

Jiashen ()21st year A9 of the 60-year cycle, e.g. 2004 or 2064
