Purity of a Bazi Structure (格局清純)
Assess structural purity through coherent function, clear priority, limited competition, and intact paths without turning purity into morality or human value.
Overview
Structural purity describes how clearly one pattern’s anchor and functions operate without strong competing structures, contradictory roles, or broken paths. It is relative, method-dependent, and separate from raw strength. A pure pattern can still lack capacity, while a mixed chart can remain workable through regulation and rescue.

Define purity as structural clarity
Identify whether one pattern has a clear anchor, connected support, and limited competing claims.
Avoid vague aesthetic judgments and name every relation used to call the structure clear.
- Use functional evidence.
- State the adopted threshold.
Keep clarity and strength separate
A coherent structure may be weak or unavailable, while several strong elements may create a mixed but manageable system.
Evaluate seasonal authority, roots, and capacity after identifying structural clarity.
- Do not score purity by counts.
- Report capacity independently.
Look for competing and contradictory paths
Another revealed structure, a damaged anchor, or unresolved conflict can reduce clarity.
Rescue and mediation can improve operation without erasing the chart’s mixed evidence.
- Publish competing structures.
- Do not hide disconfirming symbols.
Purity is not a judgment about people
It cannot imply moral purity, ethnicity, lineage, sexuality, health, worth, or social superiority.
Use neutral technical wording and exclude the concept from consequential decisions.
- Avoid purity rhetoric about identity.
- No hierarchy of human value.
