THE WENBU WAY

Sources & further reading

Classical texts, calculation references, research and product statements, with their different roles kept clear.

How we read a source

This directory records the public-source research scope, checked September 28, 2026. Classics inform historical symbolism; technical documents inform implementation; product sites establish public claims; research informs evidence boundaries. Those roles are not interchangeable.

This is not an exhaustive survey of every tradition, nor a claim to have run every project or purchased every competitor. Unverified account features, licensing scope and predictive outcomes are not presented as established facts.

Calculation & calendars
