Qi Men Dun Jia
Qi Men Dun
Jia (奇門遁甲Qí Mén
Dùn Jiǎ) is an ancient form of Chinese Meta-Physics which is still used.
Because of its name, Qi Men, which loosely translate to Mystical Door, gives a
sense of mystical or magic to the people who don’t know the background. Qi Men
Dun Jia may be applied to business, crime-solving, marriages and matchmaking,
medical divination, Feng Shui, military affairs, finding missing people,
travel, personal fortune divination etc.
According
to Ho Peng Yoke in his book, Chinese Mathematical Astrology, Qi Men Dun Jia is
translated as ‘Strange Gates Escaping Techniques’. According to Ho, Qi Men Dun
Jia is a combination of 2 forms of arts – Qi Men and Dun Jia.
It was
recorded in the Chinese history that Qi Men Dun Jia, together with Da Liu Ren
and Tai Yi Shen Shu as the highest Three Arts or Three Styles (三式 sān shì) in Chinese Meta-physics. It was said that these Arts can only be
practice by the Emperor or their advisors. Commoner will be executed if being
caught practicing it.
History of Qi Men Dun Jia
It was said that according to
legend, Qi Men Dun Jia was taught to Yellow Emperor (黃帝/黄帝 Huáng Dì- 2697 BC to 2597 BC
) by a fairy, 九天玄女 (Jiǔ Tiān Xuán Nǚ). During that time, Yellow Emperor
was fighting against a rebel called 蚩尤 (Chī Yóu). Chī Yóu was very familiar with the art of Yin & Yang and
has the capability to summon the wind and rain. It was said that his head is as
strong as copper and arm is like iron (铜头铁臂) and able to win any wars. During battle,
Yellow Emperor did not have the capability to defeat him. In desperation, 九天玄女 (Jiǔ Tiān Xuán Nǚ) passed the art of Qi Men Dun Jia
to Yellow Emperor. With the art of Qi Men Dun Jia, Yellow Emperor invented the指南车 (South Pointing Chariot). Yellow
Emperor uses the Qi Men Dun Jia art and South Pointing Chariot (picture from Wikimedia) to win the war
against Chī Yóu.
Zhuge Liang
诸葛亮; pinyin: Zhūgě Liàng, 181–234 was Chancellor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period
of China. He is often recognized as the greatest and most accomplished
strategist of his era. He was said to use the technique in Qi Men Dun Jia to
win battles.
Using
straw boats to borrow arrows
Before the
Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhuge Liang visited the Wu camp to assist Zhou Yu. Zhou
Yu saw Zhuge Liang as a threat to Eastern Wu
and was also jealous of Zhuge Liang's talent. He assigned Zhuge Liang the task
of making 100,000 arrows in ten days or face execution for failure in duties
under military law. Zhuge Liang promised that he will finish this seemingly
impossible task in three days. He requested 20 large boats, each manned by a
few soldiers and filled with straw human-like figures. Before dawn, with river
fog cloaking his movements, Zhuge Liang deployed his ships. He ordered his
soldiers to beat war drums and shout orders so as to imitate the noise of an
attack.
Upon
hearing the drums, the Wei soldiers rushed out to meet the "attack". Zhuge
Liang drank wine with Lu Su on one of the boats. The Wei soldiers were unable
to see through the fog and fired volleys of arrows at the sound of the drums.
The straw figures were soon penetrated by many arrows, which became stuck in
the straw. Zhuge Liang returned to Wu in triumph. After removing the arrows
from the straw figures' bodies, Zhuge Liang discovered there were over 100,000
arrows.
It was said
that Zhuge Liang used Qi Men Dun Jia to get the correct timing and direction of
river fog.
Battle of Red Cliffs (赤壁之戰)
Zhuge Liang
wanted to burn up Cao Cao’s fleet of chained ships and knew that it could only
be done by launching arrows with fire with the help of east wind. Zhuge Liang
set up the Seven Stars Altar and prayed for the east wind. In a short time, the
east wind was in full force. Zhuge Liang used Qi Men to predict the timing of
the east wind and uses the Seven Stars Altar to buy time and to create mystery
of the entire strategy.
Jiang Ziya
姜子牙, Pinyin:
Jiāng Zǐyá,
was a Chinese historical and legendary figure who resided next to the Weishui
River about 3,000 years ago. The region was the feudal estate of King Wen of
Zhou. The last ruler of the Shang dynasty, King Zhou of Shang (16th - 11th
century BC) was a tyrannical and debauched slave owner who spent his days
carousing with his favourite concubine Daji and mercilessly executing or
punishing upright officials and all others who objected to his ways. Jiang Ziya
had once served the Shang king and had come to hate him with all his heart. He
was an expert in military affairs (i.e. Qi Men Dun Jia) and hoped that some day
someone would call on him to help overthrow the king. He waited and waited till
he was 80 years old, continuing placidly with his fishing in a tributary of the
Weihe River (near today’s Xi'an) using a barbless hook or even no hook at all,
on the theory that the fish would come to him of their own volition when they
were ready.
King Wen of the Zhou state, (central Shaanxi),
found Jiang fishing. King Wen, following the advice of his father and
grandfather before him, was in search of talented people. In fact, he had been
told by his grandfather, the Grand Duke of Zhou, that one day a sage would
appear to help rule the Zhou state.
When King Wen saw Jiang, at first sight he felt that this
was an unusual old man, and began to converse with him. He discovered that this
white-haired fisherman was actually an astute political thinker and military
strategist. This, he felt, must be the man his grandfather was waiting for. He
took Jiang in his coach to the court and appointed him prime minister and gave
him the title Jiang Taigongwang ("The Great Duke's Hope", or
"The expected of the Great Duke") in reference to a prophetic dream
Danfu, grandfather of Wenwang, had had many years before. This was later
shortened to Jiang Taigong.
Zhang Liang (Western Han)
張良; pinyin: Zhāng Liáng; 262 BC – 189 BC, was a strategist and statesman of the early
Han Dynasty period of Chinese history. He is also known as one of the
"Three Heroes of the early Han Dynasty" (漢初三傑), along with Han Xin and Xiao He. Zhang Liang
contributed greatly to the founding of the Han Dynasty.
To avenge
the fall of his native state, Zhang Liang dedicated his efforts to hire
assassins to kill Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang survived the assassination attempt,
after which he issued an order for the arrest of Zhang Liang. As a wanted man
by the government, Zhang Liang travelled to Xiapi and stayed there for some
time, using fake identities to evade the authorities. One day, Zhang Liang took
a stroll at the Yishui Bridge
and met an old man there. The man walked towards Zhang and chucked his shoe
down the bridge on purpose, after which he yelled at Zhang, "Hey boy, go
down and fetch me my shoe!" Zhang Liang was astonished and unhappy but he
obeyed silently. The old man then lifted his foot and ordered Zhang to put on
the shoe for him. Zhang was furious but he controlled his temper and meekly
obliged. The old man did not show any sign of gratitude and walked away in
laughter. The old man came back after walking a distance and praised Zhang,
"This child can be taught!" and he asked Zhang to meet him at the
bridge again at dawn five days later. Zhang was confused but he agreed. Five
days later, Zhang rushed to the bridge at the stroke of dawn but the old man
was already waiting for him there. The old man chided him, "How can you be
late for a meeting with an elderly man? Come back again five days later!"
Zhang Liang tried his best to be punctual the second time but the old man still
arrived earlier than him, and he was scorned by the old man once more and told
to return again five days later. The third time, Zhang Liang went to the bridge
at midnight and waited until the old man appeared. This time, the old man was
impressed with Zhang Liang's fortitude that he presented Zhang with a book,
saying, "You can become the tutor of a ruler after reading this book. In
ten years time the world will become chaotic, and you can use your knowledge
from this book to bring peace and prosperity to the empire. Meet me again thirteen
years later. I'm the yellow rock at the foot of Mount Gucheng." The old man was Huang Shigong (黃石公; aka "Yellow Rock Old
Man") of the legendary "Four Haos of Mount Shang" (商山四皓), a group of four reclusive wise
men. The book was titled The Art of War by Taigong (太公兵法) and believed to be the Six Secret Teachings
by Jiang Ziya.

(1311 - 1375), style name Bowen, was a key military consultant of Zhu
Yuanzhang, the founder of Ming dynasty. It was said that Liu Bowen used Qi Men

revolutionary, political theorist and communist leader. He led the People's Republic of China
(PRC) from its establishment in 1949 until his death in 1976. It was rumor that

battles, Mao actually dictated the actual timing and direction for the troop to
be deployed, which is the signature of Qi Men Dun Jia.
