Limitations and cross-cultural caution
This term records a cultural, historical or lineage-specific interpretive framework. It must not be presented as established scientific causation or a guarantee of health, wealth, relationships, examinations or investment outcomes. Building, structural, fire, environmental, medical, legal and financial matters require applicable rules, measurements and qualified advice.
Cross-cultural writing should retain 三合派 with a transliteration or conventional translation. Japanese “三合派”, Korean “삼합파” and English “Sanhe School” may have different local ranges; similar labels do not make methods, historical authority or practical conclusions identical.
