Distinguish facts from interpretation
Historical, calendar and textual facts need reliable sources. School-specific views identify their tradition or author. Modern applications explain methods and limits.
No invented authority
Do not invent expert authors, citations, examples or testimonials. Do not claim expert review without a record. Entries are AI-assisted and editorially checked by ZenTell, without specialist peer review. Editorial checking is not peer review.
Publication gate
An entry is published only when its bilingual article, relevant sources and editorial record are present. Planned entries use noindex and are excluded from the sitemap.
Sources and editions
Classical references record work, edition, section and translator. Research references record author, institution, date and stable URL. Customs identify region and period.
Corrections and updates
Substantive revisions record their real update date. Sitemap dates must not be fabricated. Disputed views explain differences rather than treating one school as definitive.
Respect traditions and readers
Religion, folklore and divination are not interchangeable. Cultural interpretation does not replace medical, legal or financial expertise, or justify appearance-based judgments.
