Explain the eight characters

The birth date is a traditional Chinese record of the date and time of a person's birth. It uses the year, month, day, and hour of a person's birth through two Chinese characters per column, one and four Chinese characters for the heavenly stems and earthly branches. To express it, this record has eight characters, so it is called "birth

eight characters". The birth date or eight characters are actually another way of saying the four pillars in the Zhouyi terminology.

The four pillars refer to the time of birth, namely year, month, day and hour. Humans use a word for each of the heavenly stems and earthly branches to express the year, month, day, and time, such as Jiazi year, Bingshen month, Xinchou day, Renyin time, etc., including the celestial body when a person was born

Basic status of operation. Each column has two characters, and four columns have eight characters, so fortune telling is also called "testing eight characters".

According to the relationship between the heavenly stems and the earthly branches and the five elements of yin and yang, we can speculate on the faults and blessings of the human body. But what we are going to talk about here is not how to "test the horoscope", but how to calculate the horoscope.

To get the correct time of birth, it is most accurate to use a sundial

dial during the day. Clock time is artificial mean time and regional standard time. The "true solar time difference" must be calculated based on solar terms (solar longitude) and the "local longitude time difference" based on the place of birth to obtain the true astronomical time of birth. In the Bazi, the stems and branches of the year are continuous with the stems and branches of the day, which is real; the stems and branches of the month and time are calculated based on the stems and branches of the year and day, which can be said to be imaginary.

What is commonly seen at present is that the process of converting the date of birth (calculated according to the lunar calendar) into the birth date and birth date by a numerologist is called the engraving of the birth date. Then read it through numerology. Birthday horoscopes are usually used for divination and marriage, and are still popular among the people. Using birth horoscopes for marriage is to predict whether the two people will have a happy married life in the future. Generally speaking, if the horoscopes of birth dates of both men and women are in harmony, it means a happy married life, and if they are in conflict with each other, it means that they will not happiness.

Some people regard the results of their birth horoscopes as very important. If two people’s birth horoscopes conflict with each other, they may give up on their marriage to one of them. The birth date can only reflect the time of birth of a person, so it is not an exaggeration to use it to record time. Some people

use birth dates to tell fortunes, which is very unreliable. Because a person's destiny is affected by a variety of conditions. In addition to the time of birth, there are also restrictions on the region and group of people where he grows up. In addition to differences in opportunities, how much influence can the time of birth have?

What about the specific gravity.
