Calendar rules & annual year

Annual year to exploreTai Sui year boundaryDay pillar boundaryRepeated daylight-saving time

Four Pillars years turn at the exact Li Chun instant; months at the jie solar terms. Day and hour use local civil time without longitude or true-solar correction. In the split-Zi convention, 23:00–23:59 retains the day pillar but uses the next day’s stem for the hour. Traditions may differ.

I agree to use my calculated chart and intention for a cultural reading. How personal information is used is explained in the Privacy details

Keep my details, reading and conversation on this device for seven days. Avoid shared devices.

Birth details follow you between Chinese and English. Readings stay in their original language; switching language makes no new request.

TAI SUI / A WISH TO CARRY

A folded wish.
A companion for the year.

Yellow talisman paper is folded and held within a red pouch bearing the words “Maoshan Shangqing Lingfu.” The pouch gives an annual wish a tangible, personal form.

Two close-up views of the pouch and folded paper. Ask about the complete work, ritual preparation and availability when you inquire.

Sources & calculation notes

BaZi is a traditional Chinese system related to, but not identical with, Daoist religious practice. This reading uses lunar-javascript 1.7.7 and local historical time-zone data. The Tai Sui comparison uses common pairwise value, clash, punishment, harm and break relationships; regional and lineage conventions vary. The comparison concerns branch relationships.

Public Maoshan Temple sources explain the Shangqing talisman tradition and document annual Tai Sui prayers. The 2025 announcement is a historical reference. The pouch photographs show details of a particular object.
