Schools and Lineages
The major methodological traditions of BaZi, whose boundaries are fuzzy and a matter of emphasis.

Schools are the major methodological traditions of BaZi, including the orthodox Ziping framework, the orally transmitted Blind School that emphasizes image-reasoning, and loosely defined modern reformist labels. Their boundaries are fuzzy and partly a matter of emphasis — for example whether a reading leads with strength or with structure. The library describes these as methods and emphases, not as ranked or competing authorities, and does not endorse any lineage as correct.
