We Are in Public Beta
This digital library has opened its doors.
We took 八字 · 六爻 · 紫微 · 梅花 · 奇门 — five Chinese mantic arts — and laid them out under one classical frame: the source text kept verbatim, modern plain language sitting beside it, charts and verdicts each in their proper place. The volume is far from finished; gaps and rough edges are inevitable. So we open it now under the name of beta, and ask: come in, browse a while; tell us where a sentence reads strangely, where a calculation looks off, where a layout still feels crowded.
You are also welcome simply to read, without writing in. That you would sit down at all — we already take to heart.
Write to Us · Suggestions
Suggestions, corrections, copy edits, ideas for new features — any of them, please write directly. We read every letter.
A Token of Thanks
When a letter cuts to the heart of something — flags an error, fills a gap, or earns a place on our roadmap — we return one month of the library, alongside the public-beta contributor 徽章 (badge). Where the eye reaches further and the impact runs deeper, we return a full year, the badge, and the first row on the future acknowledgements roll. What counts as “put to use” or “substantive” is our case-by-case judgement; pleasantries do not qualify.
Acknowledgements
An old text loses none of its light for being old; its beauty shows when readers walk alongside it.
When the beta concludes, this page transforms into a permanent 「鸣 谢 / Acknowledgements」 roll. The first ten readers whose letters are adopted, or whose contributions we judge substantive, will have their names — or chosen pseudonyms — permanently inscribed here, walking alongside this library. Among the badge holders, the earliest ten receive the front-row seat. Earlier letters earn earlier seats.
