Introduction to the eight-character fortune-telling method of birth

The date of birth, or eight characters, is actually another way of saying the term four pillars in China Zhouyi. In ancient times, astrologers of the Han nationality calculated their fate and their future good or bad luck. 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"
