1. The Wuxing Pai Difference (核心區別)
Why is this school different from what you may have read in classics like Ziping Zhenquan ?
| Dimension | Traditional Bazi (傳統八字) | Wuxing Pai (五行派) |
|---|---|---|
| Core Logic | Pattern Structure (格局), Spirit Deities (神煞) | Five Elements Flow (五行流通) only |
| Combinations (合) | Transform into new element (合化) e.g., 甲己 → Earth | Neutralize & Disappear (合不化) e.g., 甲己 → Both vanish |
| Hidden Stems | Essential for strength/pattern | Ignored (Only Heavenly Stems & Earthly Branches matter) |
| Precision | Yearly (Fluid interpretation) | Monthly (Strict algorithmic rules) |
| Philosophy | Determines "Fate" (High/Low structure) | Determines "Fortune Timing" (When to act/retreat) |
