Minglitang's BaZi analysis follows the lineage of the Song-dynasty Yuan Hai Zi Ping and the essence of classical Zi Ping method, while drawing on the experience of modern practice. Every judgement rests on the canonical texts — Yuan Hai Zi Ping, San Ming Tong Hui, Qiong Tong Bao Jian, and Di Tian Sui — so the method has a source and the reading has grounds. Every paid reading is personally reviewed and signed by a senior master, to ensure the rigour and quality of the analysis.
