"When rituals are lost in the center, seek them in the periphery." After 1949, destiny analysis fell silent on the mainland while the tradition reignited in Hong Kong and Taiwan. This era is characterized by "questioning antiquity" and "scientification."
Early on, Zou Wenyao—an aerospace engineer by training—boldly questioned ancient text errors, proposing the "Space-Time Destiny Formula." Wu Junmin introduced modern teaching methods, sparking the decades-long "Winter Solstice Year Change" debate.
Later, Liang Xiangrun transcended factional disputes, organizing ancient methods from a "great cycle" historical perspective and uncovering the pre-Qing "Ziping Mother Method." Siying Jushi and Guanglian refined techniques to extremes, proposing "Annual Five Elements Transition" rules that quantified timing to months or even days.
Simultaneously, Lu Zhiji introduced systems theory, constructing a "Day Master and Pattern Dual Network." Hong Kong's You Daren and Chen Xinrang attempted to reform destiny analysis using statistics and experimental methods. This marked the transformation from esoteric art to academic research and empirical logic.
