TIAN Chinese (天象中华)
All 14 Chinese Divination Systems. One Reading.
Overview
TIAN Chinese is a synthesis endpoint that fans out across all 14 classical Chinese metaphysical traditions in a single API call. Identical to tian.eastern, it provides a convenient alias for developers building China-focused applications. The LLM synthesises results from Qimen Dunjia, Liuyao, Meihua Yishu, Name Analysis, Almanac, Zodiac Compatibility, Da Liu Ren, Xiao Liu Ren, Tai Yi, and five additional systems into a unified Chinese metaphysical reading with a blended 0-100 fortune score.
Origin & history
China
Chinese metaphysics encompasses over 3,000 years of continuous divination tradition, from the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 BCE) through the codification of the I Ching during the Zhou Dynasty, the development of the Three Styles (Qimen, Da Liu Ren, Tai Yi) during the Han Dynasty, and the refinement of Four Pillars (BaZi) and Meihua Yishu during the Tang and Song Dynasties. The TIAN Chinese synthesis draws on this entire tradition.
How it works
TIAN Chinese dispatches all 14 Chinese divination calculations in parallel using the same input parameters. Each system returns its own structured result and a 0-100 score. The LLM then synthesises all 14 readings into a unified narrative, identifying convergences across systems and producing a single blended score that reflects the aggregate metaphysical consensus of the Chinese tradition.
