SIX DIMENSIONS OF IMPERIAL QI-MEN-DUN-JIA Please study the Chinese characters below to the point that you at least can recognize the Chinese characters and their meanings. Otherwise you will have a tough time in the “Imperial QMDJ” class. There are over 1300 tables in the course manual and most of them need to be in Chinese or else the manual will be 4- 5000 pages. Each page of tables will take 24+ pages if the pages were translated in English. So using bilingual tables is simply impractical and very cumbersome to carry around. Besides the tables just contain the 94 Chinese characters listed below. If you have studied Feng Shui, you already know 24 or more already. So this should not be too difficult to learn. Listed below are the essential Chinese characters found in the six major dimensions of Imperial QMDJ. Once you can recognize these characters (better if you can write it too), then you will have no problem with the course manual and the tables inside.
