Core argument: suburban sacrifice (jiaosi) proves that cosmic order is maintained by calendarized, graded ritual to Heaven and Earth rather than by ad hoc devotion. The text demonstrates that correct space (south suburb), time (solstice cycles), and rank of offering are the logical conditions of political-cosmic equilibrium.
1) Align BaZi remedies and offerings with solar terms (jieqi), not only lunar festivals. 2) Treat day-master ‘audience with Heaven’ as jiaosi: use hours/directions that match the chart’s noble gods. 3) For cultivation, schedule major work at winter/summer solstice poles (yin-yang extremes). 4) Design ritual space: facing, height, purity rules as micro-jiaosi. 5) Diagnose disorder as mis-timed or mis-ranked action (wrong god, wrong season).
Differs from 符瑞 by stressing regular liturgy over irregular omen. Differs from mountain steles by locating the main cosmic contract at the capital’s ritual periphery rather than at a sacred peak.
