Birthday, or eight characters, is actually another way of saying the four pillars of Zhouyi. Four pillars refer to the time when a person was born, that is, year, month, day and hour. When people use "heavenly stem" and "earthly branch" to represent year, month, day and hour respectively, such as Jiazi Year, Shen Bingyue, Xin Ugly Day and Renyin Time. There are two words in each column and eight characters in four columns, so fortune telling is also called "measuring eight characters" According to the relationship between yin and yang attributes and the five elements of heaven and earth, it is inferred that human body is responsible and blessed. However, what I want to talk about here is not how to "measure eight characters", but how to calculate eight characters. The four columns refer to the year, month, day and time when a person was born. Four-column arrangement refers to finding a person's date of birth. It is mainly divided into four steps. The year column, that is, the year when a person was born, is represented by branches. Note that the dividing line between last year and next year is based on the intersection time of beginning of spring, not on the first day of the first month. For example, someone was born at 22: 00 on February 4, 2000 in the solar calendar 17. Since the lunar calendar was given to beginning of spring at 20: 32 on February 4, 2000, instead of 1999, the moon column represents the festival when the person was born. Note that the first day of each month in the lunar calendar is not the basis of the monthly branches, but the festivals. Before the festival, it was last month's festival. After the festival is next month's festival. , 1 month, silver moon, February, Uzuki, March, Chen Yue, April, Mitsuki, beginning of spring to Jingzhe, Jingzhe to Qingming, Qingming to Long Summer, Long Summer to Mangzhong, May, Noon, June, Late July, Shen Yue, August and Youyue.
