How is the birthday written?

The correct spelling of birthdays is from left to right, Ding Younian, Bing Wunian, Yue Jiazi and Ren Shennian. When a man and a woman get married, they write down the date of birth in eight characters. When proposing marriage, the two sides exchange birthdays after consultation. According to the old custom, the number of words on the eight characters must be even. If it is an odd number, try to increase or decrease it to an even number.

Characteristics of date of birth

Birthdates' eight-character fortune telling is the date of a person's birth. When querying the horoscope, the annual stem and branch form the annual column, the monthly stem and branch form the monthly column, the daily stem and branch form the daily column, and the daily stem and branch form the daily column, totaling eight words. The analysis of horoscope can judge a person's life.

Everyone will have their own birthday when they are born. Birthday is also called four pillars for short, which refers to a person's date of birth. There are four pillars, each with four characters. Judging from the relationship between Yin and Yang and the connotation of the five elements, birthdays play an important role in Han folk beliefs.
