Sometimes I do get a query, 'gee your Qi Men plate is wrong based on my mainland's software.
This is mainly due to the difference in Ju implementation. Different Ju number will give you a different plate for certain times.
As a gentle reminder, the 64 Hexagrams Qi Men Dun Jia application supports both Zhi Run/直闰 (Imperial Qi Men) and Chai Bu 拆补. Generally speaking, the mainland Qi Men Dun Jia applications supports Chai Bu 拆补
To raise the ante, this application supports the Rotating and Flying Palace variants.
The majority of Taiwanese, Hong Kong and some Singapore die hard blokes, usually adopt the older Zhi Lun method to determine the Ju.
In the past, I used to state my preference and inevitably it ends up with a laborious 30-60 minutes explanation of the Zhi Lun method ....because I read in dismay when over zealous Chai Bu fans thrashed Zhi Lun using a few paragraphs from Master Zhang's book. However they are usually at a loss if you ask them to provide an explanation or define Zhi Lun.
Please try to understand the concepts behind Zhi Lun before thrashing it, you will never know when it will come back to help you or haunt you.
Now much older and wanting only to devote more energies to improve the various apps, I will not state my support for either camps, but the 64 Hexagrams Qi Men Dun Jia defaults to Zhi Lun method.
I will advise that discretion is exercised when determining the correct Ju method for certain applications.

Many (not all) or generally PRC Qi Men Dun Jia masters are fans of the late Master Zhang Zhichun. Naturally his fans or supporters will adopt Chai Bu and disregard the 'Zhi Lun' 直闰 method.The majority of Taiwanese, Hong Kong and some Singapore die hard blokes, usually adopt the older Zhi Lun method to determine the Ju.
