Ming Shu is a modern reading of BaZi — a Chinese system that treats the hour you were born as a small cosmology. Four pillars. Five elements. One unusually specific self-portrait.

Your Birth Moment
Your birth moment is the seed of the chart. The more precise the data, the more precisely this reads you back to yourself.
Advanced accuracy optional
Rat hour day boundary
Only needed for births inside Rat hour. This can change the Day Master near midnight.
Exact minute, daylight saving, and Rat-hour split make the reading sharper, but you can start without them.

About Ming Shu
Ming Shu is a modern BaZi reading system for people who want self-knowledge without noise. It translates the Four Pillars of your birth moment into a clear language of temperament, timing, relationship patterns, and elemental balance.
The calculation layer uses solar-term boundaries, true solar time, decade Luck Cycles, and favorable-element analysis. The reading layer is interpretive: it is meant to sharpen reflection, not replace judgment.

Why the free plan stays useful
Ming Shu should be useful before it asks for payment. The free plan keeps the first chart, daily rhythm, core match flow, and sharing open enough for real discovery.
Day Master — the elemental center of the chart
Four Pillars & Elements — stems, branches, and hidden qi weighting
Guiding Element 喜用神 — what restores balance in your system
Luck Cycle 大運 — the decade weather your chart is moving through
Compatibility — relationship signals across Ten-God, element, palace, and spouse-star layers
Origin
Ming Shu is built independently and tested with early readers across New York, Singapore, London, and Europe. If something feels unusually true — or clearly wrong — write to hello@m-shu.com. The product gets better through sharp readers.

Ming Shu is for reflection and entertainment. BaZi is an interpretive art, not scientific prediction. Use it to think more clearly, not to outsource your decisions.
