San Yuan Qimen
What is San Yuan Qimen Dunjia?
San Yuan Qimen Dunjia is a framework for reading a Qimen chart. Yuan Shen Gong, Yuan Qi Gong, and Tian Yi Gong are three reading lines that help you trace an event from its root through present conditions to possible support or change. Read them alongside the Useful God (Yong Shen) and palace relationships, rather than treating a single star or gate as the answer.

- What QimenMind does
QimenMind provides online Qi Men Dun Jia charts and AI readings. Enter a time to view the nine palaces, then ask Dunyuan about one specific situation.
- How charts are calculated
QimenMind calculates a time-based nine-palace Qimen chart and applies San Yuan as its core analysis framework. The solar term, day-pillar Futou, and upper, middle, or lower Yuan determine the Ju number. The chart shows Yuan Shen Gong, Yuan Qi Gong, Tian Yi Gong, San Yuan energy flow, Fei Fu, and Jin Tui from the calculated chart.
- How to use a reading
Use QimenMind to study Qimen and see one specific situation clearly. The reading stays with the chart evidence; ask Dunyuan again as the situation develops.
What San Yuan means
San Yuan refers to three main reading lines: Yuan Shen, Yuan Qi, and Tian Yi. Yuan Shen reveals the root intention, Yuan Qi shows the current energy, and Tian Yi points to support, transformation, and possible resolution.
The San Yuan method used by QimenMind
QimenMind uses the San Yuan Qimen system taught through Master Zuo Ye Lao Dao’s lineage. A direct lineage disciple develops and maintains the chart tool, drawing on lineage works including San Yuan Qimen Mi Ce, Dun Jia Ji Zhang, and Qi Men Dun Jia Sui Shi Lu.
Why it fits an online calculator
San Yuan reading requires chart details, palace states, Fei Fu, Jin Tui, and inter-palace relationships. A calculator can surface these details automatically so the reader can focus on interpretation instead of manual chart construction.
How it supports AI reading
After casting the chart, you can ask AI about one specific matter. It can locate the Useful God, trace the three San Yuan lines, and explain the evidence and possible developments in plain language.
