Basic ZWDS Terms


Hi there, I am a new contributor on this blog. I am a beginner in Bazi and ZWDS and will attempt to translate modern Chinese texts to English. I will also create visuals to make the understanding of bazi, ZWDS and other arts clearer. Please feel free to provide feedback here. 

I start off with some basic terms of ZWDS





1、本(本方):是指主事的宫位。命盘中的十二宫各有所主。如论一生命运,命宫为本宫,论事业吉凶,官禄宫为本宫,论大限宫,大限宫为本宫,……以此类推
Self palace refers to the Palace in question. The life chart has 12 palaces which have separate categories. To examine one's life, Ming Palace should be of reference. Each palace should be referred to for the individual's outlook in a particular category.

2对宫:宫的对面宫位称对宫,即从本宫顺或逆数至第七宫
