Spirits and stars · Neutral · catalogued, not judged
A traditional label on which the classical sources openly disagree.
Qinding Xiejibianfangshu, volume 33, gives a rule: "if a jia destiny has its salary in yin, and the four pillars use two chou and two mao, they arch out the yin salary - but beware of clash or filling in."
Source: Qinding Xiejibianfangshu, volume 33; Shenfeng Tongkao (rejects it as an error)
Where the sources disagree, we catalogue the name and state the disagreement instead of judging.
Shenfeng Tongkao calls it plainly wrong: "this teaching is especially mistaken, hence the name the erroneous." One side is an official calendrical compilation, the other a specialist bazi classic. Rather than referee, we set both passages side by side.
Not judged: the sources are in open conflict (an official compilation gives a rule; a specialist classic rejects it).
Rule of thumb: these markers are read from fixed classical tables, and the scores and advice come from a separate model. Both are laid out on the site, and neither is a claim about what will happen.
These readings follow the traditional Chinese system (BaZi / Zi Wei Dou Shu) and describe how the classics read a chart. They are not predictions and not medical, legal or financial advice, and no outcome is promised.
Why show an entry the sources dispute?
Because the dispute is the point: Shenfeng Tongkao calls it plainly wrong. Showing both the label and the objection is more honest than silently picking a side.
Could it still be right in some schools?
Possibly, since different lineages use different tables. We do not settle lineage disputes, so we do not judge it.
