What did eight characters mean in ancient times?

Eight-character is a numerology academic language handed down from ancient people in China, which was formed in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. The so-called horoscope refers to the year, month, day and time when a person was born. The ancients believed that people's fate was related to the date and hour of birth, so after birth, fortune tellers would predict a person's fate according to the eight characters.

According to the eight-character theory, human destiny consists of three elements: weather, geography, people and harmony. Timing refers to the date, time and place of a person's birth, geographical location refers to the natural environment and climatic conditions of the place of birth, and harmony refers to a person's personal ability and interpersonal relationship. Eight characters not only focus on a person's fate, but also study the overall personality characteristics of the individual, which can guide the growth and development of the individual.

Although modern society is technologically advanced, the eight characters are still deeply loved by people. Many people think that constellations can accurately predict a person's fate by the time of birth, so they are sometimes superstitious in life. In fact, the eight characters are only a reference and cannot determine a person's fate. Everyone should create his own destiny with his own efforts.
