What is a birthday? What did you say? What is an eight-character branch? How are the financial star, the official star and the four major banks named? What does this mean?

Birthday, or eight characters, is actually another way of saying the four pillars of Zhouyi. Four pillars refer to the time when a person was born, that is, year, month, day and hour. When people use "heavenly stem" and "earthly branch" to represent year, month, day and hour respectively, such as Jiazi Year, Shen Bingyue, Guichou Day and Renyin Time, it contains the basic state of celestial movement when a person is born. There are two words in each column and eight characters in four columns, so fortune telling is also called "measuring eight characters" According to the relationship between yin and yang attributes and the five elements of heaven and earth, it is inferred that human body is responsible and blessed.

Correspondence between branches and five elements: A, B, D, D, E, G, N, Y, I, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D.
