For example, Jiazi is too old, that is, Jiazi is on duty at 1984, Jiazi is too old, and the other five elements are inviolable, otherwise there will be disaster. As the old saying goes, "When you are old, you should be strong, take the military power and decide life and death." There is another cloud: "In old age, there is no blessing but a curse." And so on.
In the folk, "Tai Sui" has always been regarded as a mysterious force, which can dominate and influence people's fate in the dark (in fact, Tai Sui is Jupiter in the sky, and Jupiter runs every twelve months).
