What is the meaning of Korean eight characters?

The specific time when we are born is birthday, also known as birthday. Although there were no precise timing tools in ancient times, they attached great importance to the recording of birthdays. Not to mention the biographies of 24 histories written by famous people in past dynasties, if you are lucky enough to see the genealogy of ordinary people, it records that everyone's birth and death time is detailed to the hour. This is actually a respect for life and embodies the concept of "rebirth" of predecessors. In the era of fortune telling, birthdays are regarded as life data containing the fate of a lifetime. Even if it is not for fortune telling, as the first set of data in life, don't you need accurate records? Nowadays, many people, except remembering their birthdays, don't know much about time, which can be regarded as "the ancient style is not following". The date of birth in our memory is a numerical state, such as 2 o'clock in June 2005 at 65438+ 10/. When fortune-telling, the punctuality state of this number is first converted into the punctuality state of the branches, and then the good or ill luck is analyzed by analyzing the birth, punishment and punishment between the branches. When the above birthdays are converted into official expenses, the status is: Shen Jia (year), Bingzi (month), Yiyou (day) and Ding Chou (hour). Every concept of time is represented by two words: heavenly stem (such as A), earthly branch (such as Shen), and a group of earthly branches (such as) are collectively called a column. The concepts of year, month, day and time are expressed in eight words, and four pillars and branches make up the life chart. Therefore, this fortune-telling method is commonly known as eight-character fortune-telling, or four-column fortune-telling eight-character numerology.
