What is Bazi?

Bazi is a combination of transforming a person's date of birth into a sexagenary branch, which includes the year of birth, month, day, and hour, each group is composed of two characters, a total of eight characters, hence the name Bazi.

What is a dry branch?

The stem branch refers to the combination of the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches, and the ancient people used the dry branches as a chronology to record history.

Therefore, the eight characters are the combination of the stem and branches corresponding to the date of birth of the individual, of which the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches together form the eight characters.

The 10-day stem includes:A, B, C, D, E, H, G, XIN, NON, and DE. They are the basic units used for the year in the traditional Chinese calendar.

The twelve earthly branches include:Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai. They are the basic units used for chronology in the traditional Chinese calendar.

Through the understanding of these two concepts, we can better understand the division of time and the method of chronology in the Chinese calendar.

How to convert a person's date of birth to a stem branch?

Let's analyze it through an example, it is now January 10, 2024, 13:20, and the corresponding lunar calendar time is the 2023 winter moon (small) twenty-nine, and the hour is your own.

Then the corresponding combination of stem and branch is: the year of the Lunar New Year, the month of the second ugly, the day of the Lunar New Year, and the time of the future.

Such a combination of trunks and branches can more accurately reflect the characteristics of a person's date of birth, allowing us to understand his character and destiny more deeply.

Why can the eight characters reveal the good fortune and evil fortune of a person's life?

According to ancient philosophy, the fate of things, whether animate or inanimate, from the moment they are formed, is destined to develop according to certain laws.

By applying the theory of yin and yang and the five elements of restraint, we can make inferences and **, and this method of inference is applied in the study of eight characters, which can help us understand the good fortune and evil fortune in a person's life.

In terms of eight characters, what exactly is fate?

The concept of destiny can actually be defined in two ways

Life:It refers to the time point when things are born, that is, the time of birth and the eight characters, which carries the destiny given by each person or thing.

Transport:It refers to the trajectory and experience of things in the day after tomorrow, unlike fate, luck can be changed through our acquired efforts.

In other words, fate is predestined and represents the innate talents and traits of each person or thing;And luck depends on our hard work and struggle.

Why do some people have the same characters but different fates?

Although people with the same eight characters carry similar destiny, their acquired achievements are not only related to personal efforts, but also closely related to the feng shui environment in which they live.

I believe that there are many people who were born at the same time in the same year, month, and day with wealthy people such as Hangzhou Ma and Wanda Wang, however, why don't they achieve so much like Hangzhou Ma and Wanda Wang?

One of the big reasons is that they are in different environments and circles.

What is Yin and Yang?

Yin and yang, are the two aspects of everything in the world, they show the different characteristics of things, the masculine represents the active, clear and bright temperament, while the feminine represents the static, dark and moist temperament.

However, an isolated feminine or masculine cannot grow and develop, and it is only when yin and yang are in balance with each other that things can function properly.

Therefore, when the yin and yang of things are out of balance, it is like a pathology, and we must adjust in time to neutralize this imbalance.

What are the Five Elements?

The concept of the five elements should be explained from the theory of yin and yang, which holds that there is tai chi in the universe, which is divided into two yi, and the two yi are divided into four images.

This process describes the beginning of the chaos of the universe, where pure gases rise and transform into yang energy, while turbid gases sink to form yin energy. Only when the two qi of yin and yang are blended with each other can things with vitality and form be formed.

These four symbols refer to the yang energy divided into young yang and old yang, i.e., wood and fire;Yin Qi is divided into young yin and old yin, i.e., gold and water.

In this process, the earth plays a role in stabilizing and cultivating, so we call the five elements of water, wood, fire, earth, and metal the five elements, and through this classification, we can better understand the generation and evolution of all things.

Why is the correct order of the five elements water, wood, fire, earth, and metal?

Because the law of development of things is that life is born from water and ends with gold.

Let's illustrate this law with an example, things give birth to life in winter, that is, the season of water, in spring, life begins to grow and thrive, summer is the heyday of things, and when autumn comes, the aura of slaughter begins to pervade, everything gradually withers, and life is consumed.

The laws of nature are inherently like this, and the shengke of the five elements should also follow this order.

The Five Elements is a concept in ancient Chinese philosophy that refers to the characteristics and symbolism of the five elements of water, wood, fire, earth, and metal.

Here's a specific understanding of the five elements:

Water:Water has the property of moisturizing, symbolizing wisdom and spirituality. The water flows with the waves, has no own opinions, lacks momentum, the fluidity of the water is very strong, it does not like to come out, but it can adapt to various environments.

Wood:Wood has the characteristic of growing in a straight curve, symbolizing kindness, kindness, and a positive spirit. Wood is constantly fighting and forging ahead, representing the vitality of vitality.

Fire:Fire has the property of being inflammatory, symbolizing a positive, optimistic, and impulsive character. Fire has a strong energy and momentum, and is good at words and debates, but it is also prone to irritability and temper tantrums.

Soil:Soil has the characteristics of crops, and it carries the growth and development of all things. Soil symbolizes the quality of honesty and trustworthiness, with the ability to absorb, transform and converge.

Kim:Jin has the characteristics of Cong Ge, which represents the meaning of reform and killing. Kim is decisive, principled, has good management skills, and pursues the goals of termination and completion.

Through the specific understanding of the five elements, we can better understand the characteristics and symbolic meanings represented by these five elements, which can then be applied to all aspects of life.

In fact, many times, it is a blessing to be plain and simple!

The purpose of understanding the destiny of life is not to hunt for curiosity and superstition, but to adjust, improve, and improve the quality of life, which is also the meaning of measurement, so that you can understand your destiny and choose the best life path in accordance with your destiny.
