The eight-character fortune-telling method was created as a discipline by the astronomer Li Xuzhong of the Tang Dynasty. Li Xuzhong, whose name is Changrong, was a native of Wei County (now Daming County, Hebei Province) in the Tang Dynasty. During the first year of Tang Dezongzhen, he was a scholar and has always been a member of the palace in the imperial history. He invented the numerology theory that represents the year, month and day of a person's birth in a cadre, relying on the theory of the five elements, and judging the good fortune and misfortune of a person's life according to the relationship between the five elements of the stem and branch. According to historical records, his ** is superb, and the accuracy is quite high, and the great writer Han Yu at that time praised his inference as "one hundred and one or two". Judging from today's eight-character fortune-telling theory, without the two words of time and hour, it is quite difficult to calculate in many aspects, especially in the two aspects of "old age" and "death", which seem to be impossible to calculate at all.
