What is a birthday? What's the use?

Birthday, or eight characters, is actually another way of saying the four pillars of Zhouyi. 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, Xin Ugly Day and Renyin Time. There are two words in each column and eight characters in four columns, so fortune telling is also called "measuring eight characters" According to the relationship between yin and yang attributes and the five elements of heaven and earth, it is inferred that human body is responsible and blessed. However, what I want to talk about here is not how to "measure eight characters", but how to calculate eight characters.

Four-column eight-character arrangement

Four pillars refer to the year, month, day and time when a person was born. Four-column arrangement refers to finding a person's date of birth. It is mainly divided into four steps.

Chronological column

Chronicle, that is, the year when a person was born, is represented by branches. Note that the dividing line between last year and next year is based on the intersection time of beginning of spring, not on the first day of the first month. For example, if someone was born at 22: 00 on February 4, 2000 in the solar calendar, because the lunar calendar was handed over to beginning of spring in 2000 at 20: 32 on February 4, 2000, his chronological column is 2000.

Moon column

Moon column, that is, the festival when a person is born, is represented by stem and branch. Note that the branches and branches of the month are not divided by the first day of each month in the lunar calendar, but by festivals. The festival before the handover is the festival of last month, and the festival after the handover is the festival of next month.

The significance of the festival:

Beginning of spring in the first month: "Li" means the beginning, which means that the spring of the revival of all things has begun again. The warmer weather and the revival of all things mark the beginning of farming activities. February 4th or 5th of the solar calendar is the beginning of spring.

February: Spring thunder begins to roar, waking up insects and small animals that are dormant and hibernating in the soil. Winter eggs are about to hatch. This solar term means that spring is getting stronger and the temperature is rising. The surprise is on March 6 or 7 of the Gregorian calendar.

Summer in June: This solar term indicates that it has entered a midsummer day, and the heat is pressing. Summer falls on July 7 or 8 of the Gregorian calendar.

Beginning of autumn in July: This solar term means that the hot summer will pass and the crisp autumn will begin. August 8th or 9th in Gregorian calendar is beginning of autumn.

Sun ranks

Since February of the third year of Lu Yingong (722 BC), it has never stopped recording the days of cadres and branches in China. This is the only longest method known to human society so far.

The sun column refers to the day when people representing the main branches of the lunar calendar were born. Trunks and branches are recorded every 60 days. Because months are different from leap years, trunks and branches need to find a perpetual calendar.

In addition, the dividing line between day and day is divided by hours, that is, before eleven o'clock is the hour of the previous day, and after eleven o'clock is the hour of the next day. Don't think that midnight is the dividing point of a day.

Timetable column

The time column represents the time when a person was born. In the lunar calendar, one hour spans two hours, so a day is twelve hours.

Hours: 23: 00 am-1; Chou Shi: 65438+ 0: 00 -3: 00 am

Take a friend of mine as an example: My friend was born on August 27th, 1984, which was the year of Jiazi (as found in the book); According to the rhyme of the standing moon column, we can know that his year number is A, so the moon is headed by C, so his standing moon column is A; Accordingly, his daily column is Ghost Silk (seen in the book); According to the rhyme of the time column, his time column knows that it is a day's work and a time that matches the children, so the time column should be Chen Wu. In this way, his date of birth was excluded: "Jia Zi returned to Chen".

Children are the hope of every parent. As soon as the baby is born, there will be an accurate time. Birthday, as the ancients often said, contains the basic state of celestial bodies when a person is born, and also contains a person's future destiny.

In order to get the correct time of birth, the sundial is 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.

Push the midnight method (is it appropriate? ):

Midnight is different from prime time, and the deduction method is slightly different. The time to check on the children starts at eleven o'clock in the evening and ends at one o'clock. People who give birth between eleven o'clock and twelve o'clock at night are at midnight. When it comes to being the son of tonight, it belongs to today. After twelve o'clock, it is tomorrow. The so-called midnight is today's evening, not tomorrow's morning. Tomorrow is early, not tonight. There are two o'clock at a time, the night before one o'clock and the morning after one o'clock The way to escape from work is slightly different from the way to get up in the morning. We must escape from another world after escaping from the stone sea.

For example, in the year of Bingwu, the month of Geng Yin, the ugly day, after eleven o'clock, before twelve o'clock, born at night. As the song goes: B Geng C for the first time. When it is the second day (Zhengzi), Ding Chou, Wuyin, Jimao, Chen Geng, Xinsi, Guiwei, Shen Jia, Yiyou, Xu Bing, Dinghai and Coconut must be Wuzi.

Kexuan Lecture: Every afternoon 1 1: 59: 59, 59 seconds, it is a night child, which belongs to yin; That is, the last four quarters, the original amount today. If it starts from 12 to 1 2, it will be early tomorrow morning, and the next four hours will belong to Yang, which will not be easy for thousands of years.

Since ancient times, when Jia has started to play Jiazi, the original Jiazi leaves are the same, so it is possible to add leaves.
