BaZi, explained one term at a time.
Not a feed of generic articles. Concept entries define the term, show how it is used, and mark what it cannot prove. Evidence-linked definitions expose their classical record; deterministic indexes expose their calculation basis and limits.
The total combines 34 concept definitions with 60 individual Jiazi entries. Collection pages are excluded.
Evidence-linked definitions
Core interpretation terms
Definition → method → worked example → boundary → classical excerpt.
Source-backed collection
The Twelve Growth Stages
Follow one qi cycle from emergence and formation through peak, decline, storage, and renewal. Each available definition preserves the classical term while blocking literal health, death, rank, and event claims.
Governed structure collection
The Eight BaZi Patterns
Separate a Ten God relationship from a month-derived Pattern classification. Every available entry keeps its rule, source assertion, terminology record, and evidence boundary together.
Bounded relation guide
BaZi Branch Relations
Read branch relations as governed chart markers—not event predictions. A relation appears here only when its calculation rule and classical evidence record can be shown together.
Source-anchored archive
BaZi Shensha
Separate a computed auxiliary marker from its historical assertion and modern evidence boundary. Only markers with an inspectable calculation identity and source record appear in the archive.
Deterministic cycle index
The 60 Jiazi Cycle
Explore every heavenly-stem and earthly-branch pair in exact order. All sixty reference pages show the pair's cycle number, pinyin, polarity, elements, branch season, hidden stems, and strict interpretation boundary.
Canonical guides
Foundations for the whole system
Existing strong pages remain canonical; the library points to them instead of publishing duplicates.
Ten Gods · 十神
The complete relationship set
Ten calculation-specific definitions, connected as five element-and-polarity pairs.
Open the Ten Gods overview for the five element-and-polarity pairs.
Classical source method
Original passage, contextual translation, explicit scope.
When a definition relies on a public-domain classic, the page shows the original excerpt, Pillarwise’s translation, the evidence record, and the limit of what that passage supports. Historical wording stays inspectable without being promoted into a modern fact or guaranteed outcome.
