Manfred Kubny
Dr. Manfred Kubny is a renowned sinologist in the field of Traditional Chinese Life Sciences, having focused his academic studies since the 80s on classical Chinese language, history, literature, theory and practice in this area.
Dr. Kuby is an expert in the history, theory and practice of the Traditional Chinese Sciences, specializing in Fate Science. He is fluent in Chinese and has been initiated into the methods of Taiji Quan, Feng Shui, and Traditional Chinese Astrology (Bazi Suanming) by Chinese masters.
He is one of the few Western experts able to read and interpret the visionary texts of classical and modern Chinese literature in the original language. As a result of 10 years of research in the original Chinese sources, Dr. Kubny created the very first textbook of Bazi Suanming in any Western language.
Manfred Kubny is renown throughout the world as an expert for the theory and practice of the Traditional Chinese Sciences. His philosophy is to transfer the contents of Chinese know-how as unadulterated as possible and as close as possible to the meaning of the Chinese original sources into Western languages. Dr. Kubny produces works with the seal of professional and cultural authenticity.
Dr. Kubny has been a visting professor at the National University of Natural Medicine / College of Classical Chinese Medicine in Portland (Oregon) USA since 2008. He has just finished an 8 year project translating the Di Tian Sui Chan Wei 滴天髓闡微, a well known classic of Bazi Suanming into German.

Dr. Littlefield is the founder of MingLab (MingLab.io), a research and development lab dedicated to modeling the pattern structures of Chinese fate‑calculation systems (Bazi Suanming, Qi Men Dun Jia, and Yijing) and their applications in constitutional and predictive health assessment, treatment planning, and lifestyle strategy.
Earlier in her career she was a founding developer of internet routing technology; she now applies software development, AI‑driven knowledge engineering, and language‑translation technology to the study and application of Chinese medical diagnosis and Chinese fate‑calculation systems.
She practices Jinjing Gong (tendon and channel qigong) with Sifu Wang Qingyu of Chengdu, China, lineage holder of the Daoist teacher Li Jie of Emei Shan, and with Heiner Fruehauf and Bill Frazier through “Uncle Bill’s Qigong Club” in Oregon.
