[edit] Names

The name "Siji Tzu" is an honorific. Siji means "the four seasons". Tzu translates literally as "boy", but it was also a term for a rank of nobleman equivalent to viscount, as well as a term of respect attached to the names of revered masters; thus, "Siji Tzu" can be translated roughly as "the master of the seasons".
