文墨天机®(专业版)是集飞星、三合、四化、四柱于一身的星座易学研究者的必备辅助工具 紫微斗数,是中国传统预测学重要的支派之一,位列“五大神数”之首,通过人出生的年月日时来预测人一生的吉凶祸福。历史上,紫微斗数在民间的流传并不十分广泛,一方面是因为古代的紫微斗数预测术是皇家御用;另一方面,排盘的复杂性也极大地限制了其在民间的传播。当代计算机技术的快速发展,使原本复杂的紫微斗数排盘变的容易,在过去的二十多年间,各种排盘软件层出不穷。然而,网络上的排盘软件或多或少存在一些问题,例如:1.安星不准;2.排盘时间范围小;3.排盘方法局限于单一流派而无法广泛兼容;4.软件长时间不更新造成遗留错误无法修正、新系统版本兼容性问题层出不穷…… “文墨天机®”正是为解决上述问题而精心设计研发的一套专业易学排盘软件,服务于易学爱好者和资深易学研究者。它具备以下特点: 1. 内置高精度天文历,可排盘的时间范围大,弥补了同类排盘软件可排盘时间范围小、不便于研究古人命盘和后人命盘的缺点。 2. 支持多种系统平台,提供了一致的界面风格和操作体验,是目前业界兼容终端广泛并且实用易用的一套专业易学排盘程序。 3. 提供精心设计的排盘界面,风格简约而不简单,精心设计并优化盘面布局和配色风格,满足各层次易学研究者的使用需求。 4. 提供丰富的流派设置选项,满足不同流派易学研究者依据自身所学进行灵活设定的需求。 5. 提供方便快捷的大限、小限、流年、流月、流日和流时切换功能,大幅简化交互复杂度。 6. 提供持续的软件更新服务,广泛倾听用户的意见和建议,持续更新并改进产品已逾十年。
