What exactly is Bazi?
Bazi turns your birth year, month, day, and hour into four pairs of stems and branches. It reads a person’s energy structure and rhythm — not a fixed verdict on fate.

Direct officer vs seven killings: where the real difference lies
The direct officer and the seven killings are both forces in your chart that keep you in check; the only difference is yin and yang. The one opposite to you, one yin and one yang, is the direct officer, like a manager who reasons with you; the one the same as you, both yin or both yang, is the seven killings, like direct pressure. Whether it is good or bad depends on whether you can carry it.
Guide
Start with the four pillars and read a chart clearly
Year, month, day, and hour are not isolated labels. Together they create the chart structure, show how the elements move, and decide where a reading should begin.

Frequently asked questions
A few common questions about charting, AI readings, and choosing a method.
- What is a Bazi chart?
- A Bazi chart maps the year, month, day, and hour of birth into four pillars of heavenly stems and earthly branches — eight characters in total. It shows the strength of the five elements and the ten-god relationships, and is the basis of traditional Chinese destiny analysis.
- How is Daolyn different from ordinary AI fortune-telling?
- Daolyn first calculates the chart with a deterministic engine that follows the calendar rules, then has AI read that accurate chart. The charting step is never guessed by a model, so results are reproducible and verifiable rather than invented.
- What are Bazi, Zi Wei Dou Shu, Mei Hua, and Liu Yao each good for?
- Bazi looks at the overall pattern of a life and its luck cycles; Zi Wei Dou Shu reads twelve palaces for different areas of life; Mei Hua Yi Shu and Liu Yao suit casting on one specific question for near-term outcomes.
