Secret-Treasury Mystery-Communicating Transformation Six-Yīn Cavern-Subtle Dùn jiǎ True Scripture
Anonymous; Sòng
A Sòng Daoist scripture of the dùn jiǎ 遁甲 (“concealment by the jiǎ”) divinatory-military tradition — a major pre-modern Chinese system of military-astrological divination. Preserved as DZ 857 / CT 857.
About the work
The Dùn jiǎ 遁甲 tradition is one of the three main classical Chinese divinatory-astrological systems (alongside Tài yǐ 太乙 and Liù rén 六壬). It is used for military strategy and timing of campaigns via astrological-cosmological calculation. The Daoist engagement with dùn jiǎ in scriptures like DZ 857 represents the integration of military-divinatory technique with Daoist ritual-cosmological framework.
