The dominant view and also Liu Xie’s basic view in the Southern Dynasties about divination studies (divination combined with mystical Confucian belief) were that divination studies should only be considered as the auspicious heralds of Holy Emperors, which existed in the realistic political field, rather than as a supplement to Confucian Classics in the field of its interpretation. And from the ideological and literary viewpoints of double negation, Liu Xie cut off divination studies from Confucian Classics to ensure the purity of the tradition of Classics in a literary sense, which was built in the first three articles of “the literary pivot”, and this was also the reason why Liu Xie included Emendation of Divination Studies in “the literary pivot” part.
