Yes — we've invested significant care in our English terminology.
Translation philosophy:
- Core technical terms (Day Master, Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, 10 Gods) follow the most widely accepted English conventions in the international BaZi community
- Descriptive names (Useful God, Eating God, Hurting Officer) use functional translations that convey meaning rather than literal word-for-word translation
- Original Chinese terms are provided alongside English for clarity (e.g., Day Master 日主, Direct Wealth 正财)
Where to find Chinese equivalents:
- Each report includes both English and Chinese characters for key terms
- Our glossary page (if available) lists all terms in English, Pinyin, and Chinese characters
- If you see a term and want its Chinese original, contact us — we're happy to provide it
We balance accessibility for Western beginners with accuracy for those who want to connect with the original Chinese sources.
