This was a pretty incredible article! As somebody who's been studying divination for the last 7 years, I was instantly fascinated by your description of this form, which I had never heard of. But in the larger sense, it sounds like a lot of things that make China such a powerful country today actually date from this and place. I was fascinated to hear about the origins of the Mandarin class. And there were definitely some thought-provoking insights for me about the legacy and system I am creating. That gives me a push for my next PDF! Thank you so much for this. Very comprehensive and thoughtful deep dive.

Thanks Robin, am so glad you are here now, its such a fascinating journey and am so happy to have you on board.

You’ve absolutely nailed the core idea: that the systems of power and organization forged in places like Anyang; codification, bureaucracy, legacy building are indeed the very foundations of modern China’s influence. It’s all about creating systems that scale and endure.

On Monday i will be sharing the Lessons on Legacy Building that we get from this. I have just called them Master Class inspired by the Cities. Its so much depth and i am glad we get to learn from the best
