It must be calculated according to the lunar calendar, but it still needs a specific time, otherwise it may not be accurate.
Fortune telling is a common name among the people, and the academic professional title is prediction. Research The academic field of fortune telling is called Yi Xue, also known as Shushu. The core of the theory is Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and Bagua and Yi Jing. The theoretical system is relatively complex and profound. Fortune-telling in a narrow sense is the prediction of the birth date, while fortune-telling in a broad sense includes Ziwei Dou Shu, facial palmistry, Bagua Six Yao, Qi Men Dun Jia, geographical Feng Shui, etc. Ancient divination and divination methods are both fortune-telling. Fortune telling has a long history of prediction in China. Its origin can be traced back to the Fuxi family. Later, King Wen of Zhou performed Bagua, and fortune telling began to be gradually improved.
The eight characters, also called the four pillars, are the eight characters of the heavenly stems and earthly branches found in the calendar. The heavenly stems and earthly branches are used to represent the year, month, day, and hour of a person's birth. Together they are eight characters. Bazi (horoscope numerology, horoscope numerology) is a method of predicting fortune based on horoscopes. Teacher Wu Tao from Beijing Yixue Academy: The main concept of eight-character fortune telling is fate, or destiny. In short, the arrangement and combination of the heavenly stems and earthly branches (i.e., the eight characters) in the year and month of a person's birth is destiny. However, it is impossible to predict noble, cheap, good and bad luck based on the eight heavenly stems and earthly branches. As a result, the heavenly stems and earthly branches have the attributes of yin and yang and the five elements, and have a mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining relationship. And it derives many relationships such as punishment, conflict, harm, and combination. In addition, it is combined with factors such as the four seasons and five directions, day and night, and other factors to form a fortune-telling system. The relationship between birth and restraint is also known as Zhengyin, Pianyin, Shangguan, Cooking God, Zhengguan, Pianguan, Zhengcai, Piancai, Bijian and Jiecai, collectively referred to as the "Ten Gods". Another important concept in fortune telling is luck. Fortune telling focuses on relatively stable life content such as wealth and poverty, while fortune telling focuses on dynamic life issues such as good and bad luck, which is commonly known as fate. Luck includes big luck, small luck and fleeting years. Luck is generally calculated from the birthday, according to the yang year and yin year of boys and girls, combined with the solar terms and months. The fleeting years, also known as Tai Sui, are arranged according to the stems and branches of each year experienced after a person is born. In addition to fate and luck, there are also concepts such as Shensha, Nayin and Five Elements, Feiyuan, and Fate Palace. The so-called Shensha is to fix certain combinations of certain branches into a pattern. Once these patterns appear in a person's horoscope, they are called a certain God or a Sha. God is the symbol of auspicious stars, evil is the symbol of evil stars. For example, the auspicious god "Wenchang Noble" indicates extraordinary intelligence and elegant temperament; the evil "Yin and Yang Error" indicates unsatisfactory marriages. Because the names of some gods sound mysterious, they are often used by charlatans to deceive people and defraud them of money. In front of a fortune-telling stall, it is common for people to report their birth time. The fortune teller will make a calculation and tell the fortune teller whether the fortune-teller is gold or wood. This involves the five elements of Nayin. Early numerology only used the stems and branches and the five elements. Nayin was an ancient phonological system introduced later, and its basis was also the generation and restraint of the five elements. The fetal element refers to the month when a person is conceived, and the Ming Palace refers to the place where the fate resides. Eight-character fortune telling is based on the above concepts, focusing on the relationship between the sun master and the four pillars and branches, combined with the life and restraint between the great luck and fleeting stems and branches, and also referring to the small luck, Shensha, Nayin, Feiyuan, and Ming Palace. situation to infer various situations in life.
