Do you use Gregorian calendar or lunar calendar for fortune telling?

Is the birthday a lunar calendar or a solar calendar?

The date of birth is calculated according to the lunar calendar.

There are four pillars and branches on it, engraved with the year, month and day respectively, each with two words, a total of eight words. Birthday plays an important role in Chinese folk beliefs, and Taoist priests and astrologers in ancient China calculated people's fate accordingly.

In order to get the correct birth time, people in ancient China thought that the sundial was the most accurate measurement during the day. When the clock time is the artificial average time and the regional standard, it is necessary to calculate the "apparent solar time difference" according to the solar terms (ecliptic) and the "local longitude time difference" according to the place of birth, so as to get the real astronomical birth time.

The lunar calendar is also called the dry calendar. The trunk calendar is mainly composed of four parts: trunk calendar year, trunk calendar month, trunk calendar day and trunk duration. It takes beginning of spring as the beginning of the year and festivals as the beginning of the month. When you get old, you will return to that year, and one section is a month. Because 60 branches are headed by Jiazi, the branch calendar is also called Jiazi calendar.

Astrology believes that everything in the world has yin and yang. The change of yin and yang is caused by the mutual development of the five elements. And man himself is a microcosm of the world. Corresponding to the diversity of the world, the fate of a life can be measured by the yin and yang and the five elements contained in a person's date of birth.

The human body is composed of five elements, and the different temperament of the five elements in the human body is determined by many phenomena such as the sunshine of the sun when he was born, the gravity of the earth, the position of the stars and the climate. The natural environment at birth is different, and the five elements of qi are also different, so the fate of life is also different.

The coordination of yin and yang in heavenly stems and earthly branches is very simple, that is, the odd number is positive and the even number is negative, that is, the heavenly stems are positive for A, C, E, G and nonyl, the negative numbers are B, D, G, Xin and Gui, the earthly branches are positive for Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen and Xu, and the negative numbers are ugly, Mao, Si, Wei and unitary.

Heavenly stems and earthly branches's cooperation with the Five Elements is slightly complicated. In the sky, A and B belong to wood, C and D belong to fire, E and E belong to soil, G and Xin belong to gold, but not to water. The earthly branches belong to wood, the fourth and the afternoon belong to fire, Chen, Xu and Ugly belong to earth, Shen and You belong to gold, and the sea and children belong to water.
