Origin thread
- Tang-SongThree pillars become four
Li Xuzhong-style birth-time methods evolve toward the Four Pillars approach centered on the Day Master.
- Ming-QingClassical synthesis
Texts such as Sanming Tonghui and Ziping traditions consolidate branches, patterns, and interpretive schools.
- TodayLineage-aware calculation
Useful readings depend on explicit calendar conversion, solar terms, hour handling, and school choices.
Chinese Four Pillars charting
BaZi
stem and branch seal / four pillar time dial
Luoyang / Central Plains calendrical tradition
Use BaZi to inspect long-range structure from a birth moment. Year, month, day, and hour become four pillars, then elements, Ten Gods, month command, and timing cycles show temperament, environment, and phase patterns.
- Choose this when
- You want a long-range structure for self, work, or life phases, not a quick yes/no answer.
- Bring
- Birth date, time, and place; time precision matters for the hour pillar and timing layers.
- You get
- Four pillars, element balance, Day Master context, timing cycles, and a result you can compare with lived history.
- Then go
- Use the BaZi result as evidence, then continue into Mira if you want a specific question read through that structure.
Useful for
- Inspecting the structure of a birth chart before interpretation
- Comparing elemental balance, Day Master context, and timing cycles
- Tracking major rhythm changes through Da Yun timing
Inside the experience
You enter birth data, review the calculated pillars and solar-term assumptions, then move through structure, timing, and interpretation layers you can compare with lived history.
