TIAN Korean (天韓國合成)
7 Korean Divination Systems, One Unified Reading
Overview
TIAN Korean (天韓國合成) synthesises seven Korean divination traditions into a single unified reading powered by a large language model. A single API call fans out across Saju (사주), Tojeong Bigyeol (토정비결), Gunghap (궁합), Yukyo (육효), Cheonmun (천문), Ttii (띠), and Blood Type MBTI (혈액형 MBTI) simultaneously. The result is a single fortune score from 0 to 100 accompanied by a rich narrative that identifies where all seven Korean traditions converge on your question. No other API offers this depth of Korean metaphysical synthesis.
Origin & history
Korean metaphysical traditions represent a distinctive synthesis of Chinese Taoist and Confucian systems, indigenous Korean shamanic (Musok) traditions, and Buddhist esoteric practices. Saju and Yukyo are Korean adaptations of Chinese Four Pillars and I Ching; Tojeong Bigyeol is a uniquely Korean almanac tradition; Gunghap is the Korean system of compatibility analysis. Together, these seven systems form the core of Korean metaphysical practice.
The transmission of Chinese divination systems to Korea occurred primarily during the Goryeo Dynasty (918–1392 CE), when Korean scholars studied in China and returned with texts on astrology, geomancy, and divination. The Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897 CE) institutionalised these practices through the Gwansang Gam (Office of Astronomy and Geomancy), which employed specialists in each tradition to advise the royal court. The publication of Tojeong Bigyeol by Lee Ji-ham in the 16th century created a distinctively Korean almanac tradition that remains popular today.
How it works
When you call the TIAN Korean endpoint, the system simultaneously dispatches seven divination calculations in parallel. Each system processes your query according to its own logic, operating completely independently. All seven results are then passed to a large language model that synthesises a unified Korean metaphysical narrative, identifying where the seven traditions converge and diverge, and producing a blended fortune score from 0 to 100.
