Lunar calendar year 1996? 1996 is a Gregorian calendar year, and the lunar calendar does not use numbers to mark years!
You are talking about the 23rd day of the first month of the Bingzi year of the lunar calendar (the Gengyin month) (Wushen) Zi hour (Renzi hour)!
But the Jingzhe (February Festival) has already arrived on the 16th day of the first lunar month of this year, so the 23rd day should be regarded as the second lunar month (Xinmao month).
The eight characters: Bingzi, Xinmao, Wu, Shen and Renzi.
Five elements: fire, water, metal, wood, earth, metal, water.
The five elements are complete.
