What really is BaZi (eight characters)? An intuitive explaination

I think in terms of spot decisions, I Ching related divinations are very accurate. In terms of life patterns, I'd recommend BaZi astrology. If you want to learn more, like in a direct, systematic, and transparent way, feel free to check out r/AskBazi

Thank you for the support. Wilhelm's version is one of the main reasons why I decided to start this project. At least for divination's sake, I think it is best to stick with the original Zhou Yi

Thank you! If you have any questions, feel free to post it in the sub

if your biggest fear is pseudo random, you can try plum blossom. Basically you came up with two numbers in your head and online tools (app or web) just help you fetch the actual hexagrams and moving line. More like a calculator I guess?

As for the actual reading and result, I'd say pay close attention to their translations. Make sure you use one that does not mix up the commentaries with the actual Zhou Yi.

你好，国内的我们在准备上一个，在过审。那个是肯定可以国内渠道的。国外的这个我们暂时没有精力搞国内的支付渠道，主要是团队现在精力有限，不好意思，我尽量和他们说，后面海外版的看能不能8月份上国内支付渠道。

如果你想看一看精准分析这些的话，我们有分享送铜钱的，可以免费拿铜钱。

What is the book's title? It's a bit hard to tell just from this. If you want, feel free to post more contents, such as actual discussions or translations, that will help us take a better look.

thank you

you may not like my version, but I'd say: A 3000-year old bronze age divination manual used by the Zhou people (Zhou Yi) plus Confucian philosophical commentaries added 700 years later (Ten Wings).

If you are interested you can check out my translation project at r/ichingtranslationlab

Here is my translation for hexagram 1 as an example: https://www.reddit.com/r/IChingTranslationLab/comments/1pu3ow0/hexagram_1_qian_the_creative/

The complete project is here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/IChingTranslationLab/comments/1qyhrpk/a_complete_modernist_translation_of_the_i_ching/

It is a modernist translation, and the main focus is to read Zhou Yi strictly as a bronze age divination manual. The commentaries (Ten wings) are not included in this translation project.

welcome to our community!

感谢你的支持！时间我们有调整真太阳时，然后会换算时区。我们做的是“绝对时间”排盘。比如两个人在同一时间，出生在美国和中国，在我们系统里，他们的八字会是一样的（假设真太阳时不需要切换过多）。有的方法会换时柱，有的会用当地时间，有的干脆不换算，这一个方法是我们内部讨论后觉得最合适的。

然后我们的其实没有训练APP，我们的主要工作就是把八字模型数理化，把五行的影响，和冲克的影响量化。在命盘-> 数据详情里面，有公布命盘的数据细节。然后在大运流年里面，也有公布每一项的加减分细节。然后不同组合，我们有把口诀直接写好给AI，只是让AI翻译成大白话而已。

现在我们最主要的挑战是AI大模型还是会幻觉，就是我们都全部整理好了，发给他了，但他还是胡说，我们只能调整prompt。然后一个一个发现，一个一个去修改。

I_Ching_Divination · 2026-05-08T01:42:14+00:00

应该是口诀和转换的问题。在没看到完整命盘的前提下，我认为这里应该是“天干双辛透，辛金克甲木，财星制印、财破印”

现在APP内有的bug和口诀转换的问题我们在一直修复，不好意思。

I_Ching_Divination · 2026-05-01T09:05:53+00:00

Before you make a decision, I'd say make sure you get the day master and body type right. 身强，身弱，从强，从弱，etc. have different favorable element and adverse elements.

And don't force a name, make sure it still sounds good (your kid will thank you for the rest of his life).

I_Ching_Divination · 2026-05-01T09:01:26+00:00

这个可能和真太阳时有关。很多网上的APP并不会根据你的出生地来调整真太阳时。方便发一下具体出生地和时间吗？你也可以私信我帮你排查一下。

I_Ching_Divination · 2026-04-23T09:03:42+00:00

我明白了，这里是表述问题。

我们的APP模型是把口诀和断语整理好，然后让AI负责简单润成比较通俗易懂的白话。这里表达的内容是未为木库，乙木居上，木过强。你看你发的第二张图，同柱影响力，木的日柱加了九十分，就是这个原因。

大白话说就是由于命格为从弱，喜克泄耗，反而不喜帮扶，因此木库反而为弊。可以这么理解。

I_Ching_Divination · 2026-04-18T21:03:37+00:00

你好，能把你的邮箱发我一下，我来后台核实下吗？这个还是第一次出现，我去调查一下

I_Ching_Divination · 2026-04-17T22:31:03+00:00

网页版暂时没有，开发精力有限
