Regarding the eight characters, I sincerely ask for advice.

Eight-character is the numerology academic language of China cultural tradition, also known as "four-pillar numerology" or "eight-character numerology". Its basic concept is to calculate a person's fate, personality, career, marriage and other aspects according to the four-column data formed by the four elements of a person's date of birth, so as to help people understand their own advantages and disadvantages and trends.

In the eight-character numerology, the four elements of year, month, day and hour correspond to four pillars respectively, and each pillar has a heavenly stems and earthly branches, hence the name "eight characters". Among them, the heavenly stems include A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui, and the earthly branches include Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai, and each heavenly stem and earthly branch represents a specific attribute and significance.

According to eight-character numerology, everyone's fate is made up of heavenly stems and earthly branches, and different combinations will affect a person's fate and personality. For example, Jia Zi, Yi Chou, Bing Yin and other combinations are called the basic combination of "Ten Days' Work and Twelve Earthly Branches", and each combination represents different personality characteristics and destiny trends.

In eight-character numerology, the most commonly used term is "five elements". The five elements are wood, fire, earth, gold and water, representing different attributes and characteristics, and are also very important concepts in numerology. In everyone's chart, the relationship between the five elements will affect personal health, career, wealth and so on.

In the eight-character numerology, there are many other terms and concepts, such as zodiac, six parents, noble god, defeated god and so on. These are the focus of numerologists. In everyone's chart, different houses will have an impact on their fate and personality, while your god and your god will affect a person's career, wealth, marriage and other aspects.

Generally speaking, the eight-character numerology is an important part of China's cultural tradition, which is widely used in fate calculation, geomantic layout, choosing good fortune and avoiding evil. Although its accuracy is controversial, it still has certain reference value for people to understand their own advantages and disadvantages and explore the development direction.
