How to calculate the brightness of eight characters

The horoscope is a person's birth time. Eight characters, also known as four pillars and eight characters, are composed of year (year of birth), month (month of birth), day (date of birth) and hour (date of birth). Each time column consists of two characters. When these times (year, month and day) are combined, this person's birth time (which needs to be converted) is commonly known as "eight characters".

The weight of the eight characters originated from the prediction method of Yuan Tiangang, a famous astrologer in the Tang Dynasty, also known as fortune telling. This method, like four-column fortune telling, is said to determine a person's good fortune, bad fortune, honor and disgrace, with high accuracy. This calculation method is based on a person's birth year to determine the weight; The birth month determines the weight by month; Weight is determined by the number of days of birthday. The year, month, day and hour of a person's birth are fixed, and the weight of the year, month, day and hour is specified. As long as the weight of year, month, day and time are added together, the fate of this person's life can be determined according to the "bone song". The weight of the splayed bone is divided by 42 (inclusive). Legend has it that people with shallow skin in the eight characters are easy to see unclean things and bump into evil spirits. The eight-character bone is too heavy to be disturbed by evil things, and it is certainly not easy to succeed in playing the evocation game. Obviously, the heavier the figure of eight is, the lighter it is. Generally speaking, the eight-character heavy is generally better than the eight-character light. The so-called general meaning is good here, which may not be good in some people's eyes.
