Sacred Metaphysical Texts
Explore authentic Chinese Four Pillars classics, illuminated through modern English digests, annotated verse translations, and interactive terminology.
The oldest surviving Chinese classic devoted entirely to the dwelling. It sets out the twenty-four compass positions, the boundary between yin and yang houses, the five deficiencies and five abundances of a home, and the correct order for repair work — the shared ancestor of every later feng shui school, including Eight Mansions.
The pinnacle classical scripture of Four Pillars metaphysics. Sixty-three compact chapters — the first thirty-four on the laws of heaven, the last twenty-nine on human affairs — read the chart as one flowing current of qi rather than a list of lucky and unlucky stars.
The definitive authority on chart structures (Ge Ju), useful gods, and seasonal transformations. The gold standard for structural analysis in classical BaZi.
The Ming compendium that gathers the whole practical tradition of dwelling geomancy: how a site's outer shape decides a household's fortune, how the life gua assigns each person a house, how the eight wandering stars move through a building, how doors, water outlets, interiors and auspicious days are handled, and finally how talismans are used against what cannot be moved. No complete English translation has been traced — this is the first.
