Eight characters fortune-telling, accurate calculation

Answer 1

Eight characters fortune-telling is a traditional method of fortune-telling. The following is a general introduction to its calculations:

** 1. Confirm the eight characters **
1. ** Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of the Year of Birth **
- [Earthly Branches Calculation: In the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Calendar, the Earthly Branches correspond to the 12 zodiac signs, namely, Zi (Rat), Chou (Ox), Yin (Tiger), etc.] Knowing the zodiac sign of the year of birth, one could determine the earthly branch of the year of birth.
- ** Heavenly Stems Calculation **: Use the formula (Year- 3)/60 to take the remainder, then divide the remainder by 10 to get the number of Heavenly Stems. By comparing the order of Heavenly Stems (A, B, C, D, etc.), you can get the annual Heavenly Stems.
2. ** Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of the Month of Birth **
- [Earthly Branches Calculation: The earthly branches of a month correspond to the twelve months and are fixed (January is Yin, February is Mao, etc.), but January must start from Yin.]
- ** Heavenly stem calculation **: There is a pithy formula, such as the year C of A and Ji as the head, and the year E of B and Geng as the head. That is, the year when the heavenly stem is A and Ji, the first month is C, February is D, and so on. The year when the heavenly stem is B and Geng, the first month is E, February is its own, and so on.
3. ** The heavenly stems and earthly branches on the day of birth **
- ** Earthly Branches Calculation **: The Earthly Branches of the day correspond to the twelve hours of the day. The Zi hour is 23 - 1 o'clock, and the Chou hour is 1 - 3 o'clock. It is fixed.
- [Heavenly Stems Calculation: There is a formula, such as A and A, B, G, C as the beginning.] However, the calculation of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches was more complicated and could also be obtained by looking up the perpetual calendar.
4. ** The heavenly stems and earthly branches at birth **
- [Earthly Branches Calculation: Similar to Earthly Branches Calculation on the day of birth, Earthly Branches are determined according to the corresponding time.]
- [Heavenly Stems Calculation: There are also corresponding chants to help, but they are usually more complicated. In actual operation, you can also use tools such as the perpetual calendar.]

** The combination of the second and eight characters, the five elements of Yin and Yang, and the ten gods **
1. ** Yin-Yang Five Elements Attributes **
- After the eight characters were determined, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches would be matched with the five elements of Yin and Yang, so that the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches would have the attributes of the five elements of Yin and Yang. From there, there would be a relationship of mutual generation and restraint, and many other relationships would be derived.
2. ** Ten Gods Relationship **
- Due to the relationship between life and death, they were also known as the official seal, partial seal, injury official, food god, official, partial official, official wealth, partial wealth, shoulder to shoulder, robbery ten kinds, collectively known as the "ten gods".

However, it was important to note that the accuracy of fortune-telling had not been fully confirmed by science. It was more of a traditional cultural phenomenon.
