Metaphysics Learn
The foundational vocabulary of Chinese metaphysics
Every concept has a bilingual narrative, structured attributes, FAQs, and a direct link into your own chart. Start from whichever word caught your eye.
The Five Elements
5 / 5 entries →Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water — the generative and controlling cycles.
The Fourteen Stars
14 / 14 entries →The main 主星 of Zi Wei Dou Shu, from 紫微 to 破军.
The Ten Day Masters
10 / 10 entries →甲 through 癸 — the heavenly stem that defines your chart's operating system.
The Twelve Palaces
12 / 12 entries →命宫 through 父母宫 — the life domains Zi Wei Dou Shu reads against.
The Ten Gods
10 / 10 entries →食伤 / 财官 / 印比 — the behavioural lens of Bazi.
Looking for the longer argument?
The entries above define single concepts. The guides answer the questions people actually ask — what a day master is, how Bazi and Western astrology differ, how luck pillars work, and whether Bazi is accurate.
