About the Author

Guo Zai騋, with the word Yuqing, was born in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and promoted officials for Huaiqing Mansion (now Qinyang, Henan). Guo Yuqing compiled the book “Liu Ren Encyclopedia”. In the process of editing this book, he “almost exhausted his painstaking effort”, and “there has never been such a thorough researcher” on the study of Ren Shu.

Introduction

“Illustrated Liuren Encyclopedia (Part 3 Bifa Fu)” is a collection of Liurenshu, one of the highest levels of magic in ancient China. After a systematic summary and arrangement, it can be called the Liuren classics with the most comprehensive content and the most research value. “Siku Quanshu” is only included in “Liuren Daquan” among Liuren’s works, which shows the status of this book. “Illustrated Liuren Encyclopedia” is based on the 12 volumes of the “Siku Quanshu” Wenyuan Pavilion, combined with other different versions, to explain the original text of ancient books in vernacular, and to add concise subtitles to make its structure more reasonable and orderly. At the same time, “Illustrated Liuren Encyclopedia (Part 3 Bi Fa Fu)” uses a large number of modern editing techniques such as charts, illustrations, diagrams, etc. to vividly explain the original book. For the convenience of readers, the editor divides the whole book into three parts: Divination and Gods, Divination of Good and Misfortune and Fu of Bi Fa. “Illustrated Liuren Encyclopedia (Part 3 · Bi Fa Fu)” is the third “Bi Fa Fu”, which includes two volumes of “Bi Fa Fu” and two volumes of “Zodiac Division”. Among them, Bi Fa Fu is the most widely circulated, most practical, most comprehensive and most respected masterpiece in the history of Renxue. Of course, limited by the level of understanding of the ancients and the backward scientific knowledge at that time, from a modern point of view, there are inevitably many unscientific elements in Liurenshu. However, as a cultural phenomenon and civilization heritage that has a wide impact on Chinese society, it is still worthy of our comprehensive understanding of it, so as to eliminate the false and preserve the true, and learn the wisdom of traditional culture from it.
