Core BaZi Terminology其他术语
Yin and yang, the favourable element, the year god and other core concepts
What is Core BaZi Terminology?
This section collects the foundational terms that cut across every module of BaZi: yin and yang, the favourable and unfavourable elements, luck pillars and annual pillars, the year god, the Life Palace and Conception Palace, and strength versus climatic balance.
How it is used in a BaZi reading
These terms are the shared vocabulary any BaZi analysis assumes: knowing what a favourable element is makes it clear why one element gets called "welcome"; knowing how luck pillars and annual pillars stack makes the timing dimension of a reading legible.
Interpretive limits
Terms are explained as they are used inside the traditional system, to help readers follow BaZi texts. Nothing here implies these concepts carry explanatory power in a modern scientific sense.
