The brilliant East-Asian scholars of the past left a part of their spirit with their descendants in the collective wisdom that is the belief system of Traditional Orientalism, and that same wisdom can still serve to resolve the various dilemmas and problems facing modern society.
Throughout traditional East-Asian cultures there is a long history of scholarship in various theories of systematic prediction, including augury based on geographical features (風水地理), divination based on given names (四柱命理) and astrology (天文解釋).
The mission of our Department of Traditional Oriental Studies is to raise the caliber of Traditional Prediction (傳統豫測學) as an academic discipline, ensure the success in society of each of our students and ultimately expand the acceptance and estimation of Asian Prediction (東洋豫測學) among the international academic community. Finally, we are dedicated to developing a methodology to actively apply the invaluable intellectual assets of our ancestors in the twenty-first century.
