Chinese civilization is renowned for its five thousand years of continuous history, yet people seldom distinguish objective historical facts from the layered interpretive distortions overlaying this long history. This paper traces the origin, gradual obscuration and long-term cognitive lockdown of the ontological science of ancient Chinese civilization through four interrelated evidence chains: Hetu and Luoshu diagrams, the Eight Trigrams symbolic system, ancient writing systems, and the historical evolution of Yijing exegesis. The core conclusion holds that as early as ten thousand years ago, Chinese ancestors established a complete ontological science that directly modeled cosmic structures via symbols. Its foundational framework is a 4D 45° coaxial biconic dynamic topological ontology; its encoding system adopts unary (state-gap) three-dimensional spatial state encoding; its numerical system derives from projective mapping of steady-state reference points on the ontological topological structure. The Eight Trigrams, also named Dao-cut frustum or Pythagorean frustum, constitute a secondary flow representation model derived from the complete 4D ontology. This secondary model inherently contains structural gaps, spontaneous symmetry breaking and rotational alternating properties, and cannot fully replicate the closed structure of the original complete ontology. This paper provides an a priori mathematical proof independent of archaeological materials, verifying that the 4D 45° coaxial biconic is the exclusive topological structure satisfying three core constraints: coexistence of expansion and contraction, global topological closure, and absence of geometric singularities. On this basis, it constructs group-theoretical formalization for unary state-gap encoding, puts forward a geometric topological explanation for quantum entanglement within the 4D biconic framework, and proposes "minimal necessary completeness" as the ontological redefinition of Ockham’s Razor. The paper argues that the root cause of thousands of years of misinterpretation lies in dimensional reduction misreading: later generations interpreted dynamic 4D topological structures within a static 3D cognitive framework, followed by symbolic mystification, textual ethical distortion and complete paradigm lockdown. To reconstruct the core cognitive heritage of Chinese civilization, it is neither necessary to merely count historical years nor mechanically restore institutions of the Han or Tang dynasties. The essential path is to reopen the two-millennia-locked ancient ontological framework: abandon interpreting symbols through literal texts, and re-understand the cosmic noumenon from the perspective of symbolic topological structures.
