What is a "birthday"?

The four pillars, also known as horoscope and birthday, refer to the time when a person was born, that is, year, month, day and hour. When people use heavenly stems and earthly branches to express year, month, day and hour respectively, such as Jiazi Year, Bingxu Month, Xin Chou Day, Renyin Time, etc. There are two words in each column, and there are eight characters in four columns, so the four-column prediction is also called "approving eight characters", "measuring eight characters" and "eight-character fortune telling", also called four-column fortune telling. According to heavenly stems and earthly branches's relationship between Yin and Yang and the five elements, we can infer people's good or bad luck.

Four-pillar prediction is the crystallization of Chinese people's wisdom, and it is a valuable experience summed up through thousands of years of ups and downs, big waves and repeated practice by countless historical forecasters. A large number of practices at home and abroad have proved that the four-column prediction not only has unique and magical functions of advanced prediction and advanced reflection, but also has extremely profound scientific theory and extremely valuable use value. With its strong vitality and scientific nature, it has been handed down to this day and attracted the attention of many scholars at home and abroad. Therefore, the four pillars foresight is science, not feudal superstition, but dialectical materialism, not idealism. Some people say that they control their own destiny. This statement is essentially correct, but it must be based on predicting one's own destiny. If you don't know your own destiny, but want to control your own destiny, it's just empty talk and self-deception. The essence of our prediction is based on the change of yin and yang, the restraint of five elements, and the time of birth. It is a subject that teaches people to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

This fortune-telling method is also called astrology because it evolved from ancient astrology. The ancients believed that heaven and earth corresponded. The geographical distribution of Kyushu corresponds to the stars, and all beings correspond to the stars. The gold, wood, water, fire and earth that make up the world also correspond to Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn in the sky. The sun represents yang and the moon represents yin, so the theory of yin-yang and five elements is combined with astrology. Man's fate is controlled by the five elements of astrology. Different people have different astrological elements, so their fate is different. The four pillars are composed of heavenly stems and earthly branches, Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Four Seasons and Five Prescriptions, the Zodiac, the Star God and their relationships. ......
