explore_bazi_chart
Generate an interactive Four Pillars (BaZi) chart. Click any pillar for life-domain interpretations (ancestry, parents/career, self/spouse, children) and view the Wu Xing element balance bar.
Instructions
Generate an interactive BaZi (四柱命盘 Four Pillars of Destiny) chart with clickable pillars.
Returns an embedded visual Four Pillars explorer showing the Year, Month, Day, and Hour pillars — each with its Heavenly Stem (天干) and Earthly Branch (地支), Ten God label, and element color — plus the Day Master identity and a Wu Xing (五行) element balance bar. Click any pillar for an instant interpretation of what it reveals about that life domain (Year = ancestry/early life, Month = parents/career, Day = self/spouse, Hour = children/later life).
CREDIT COST: 3 credits per call (1 base + 2 visual render).
Use this for a rich, interactive BaZi experience in MCP Apps-capable hosts (Claude Desktop). Falls back to a text summary in other hosts, so it is also the right call without a renderer. Deeper derivations (Ten Gods, element balance, luck pillars) and a plain non-visual pillars lookup have dedicated tools on the full surface (?profile=full).
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | No | Birth day of month (1–31). | |
| hour | No | Birth hour (0–23). Optional, defaults to 12 (noon). Chinese shí hours are 2-hour blocks — precision within a 2-hour window is sufficient. | |
| year | No | Gregorian birth year, e.g. 1987. | |
| month | No | Birth month (1–12). | |
| minute | No | Birth minute (0–59). Optional, defaults to 0. Only matters under true_solar_time or near a boundary. | |
| datetime | No | Alternative to year/month/day: ISO 8601 datetime read as LOCAL wall-clock time at the birth place — BaZi pillars are local by definition, so a zone-less value is correct here and is NOT converted to UTC. If it carries a 'Z' or offset, also pass timezone. | |
| latitude | No | Birth latitude, decimal degrees (north+). | |
| timezone | No | IANA timezone name for the birth place, e.g. 'Asia/Shanghai'. Required to convert a zoned datetime back to local clock; also frames the year/month solar-term boundary. | |
| longitude | No | Birth longitude, decimal degrees (east+). | |
| day_boundary | No | Day-pillar cutover convention. Default zi_hour. | |
| year_boundary | No | Year-pillar cutover convention. Default lichun. | |
| true_solar_time | No | Apply true solar time correction (needs latitude+longitude). |
