Birth Time Verification

Daymaster Bing (Yang Fire) born in Shen month, with the Wealth star dominant—unmistakably weak. Among the twelve double‑hours, only the Ji‑Hai hour (22:00) best explains A Bing's tragic life and artistic achievements. At Hai hour the Hurting Officer sits with Seven Killings, water is extremely strong, and officials and killers mix to attack the self—this is the astrological core behind his blindness and lifelong hardships. At the same time, Jia wood in Hai functions as the Indirect Resource (Pian Yin), signifying his inner artistic spirituality and resilience; with Hurting Officer supported by this Resource, his talent erupted in extremity, producing immortal works like 《二泉映月》. Other hours either produce worse unsupported weakness or a strength that conceals suffering—none fit his dramatic rises and world‑shocking artistry as well as Ji‑Hai.

Core Analysis

A Bing's Bazi chart features a Bing Fire Day Master born in the autumn Shen month. The Metal element is overwhelmingly strong, with Geng Metal (偏财) and Shen (七杀) in the month pillar, heavily draining the Fire. The Day Master sits on the Xu (戌) earth reservoir, which contains Fire but is dominated by the surrounding Metal and Water. This creates a classic Weak Fire structure, where the self is suppressed by powerful external forces of wealth (财) and authority (官杀).

The key dynamic is the Wounded Officer (伤官) in the hour pillar (Ji (己)) confronting the Official Star (正官) in the year pillar (Gui (癸)). This Wounded Officer见官 clash signifies rebellion against convention, immense artistic talent, and a life fraught with official hardship and physical affliction, which manifested as his blindness. The Water (官杀) element, representing pressure and obstacles, is pervasive, further weakening the Fire. His fate was to channel this immense pressure into profound artistic expression.

His early luck cycles of Earth (食伤) nurtured his musical skills. The Ding Si (丁巳) and Bing Chen (丙辰) luck cycles provided some Fire support, allowing his talent to flourish and gain recognition. However, the pivotal shift into the Yi Mao (乙卯) wood (正印) luck cycle in 1937 brought a contradictory influence. While Wood feeds Fire, it also combats the strong Earth in his chart, creating internal conflict. This period saw the creation of his greatest works amidst extreme personal struggle, culminating in the 1950 recordings just before his passing during the transition to the Jia Yin (甲寅) cycle.

Traits

1

Artistic Genius

Driven by the powerful Wounded Officer (伤官) in the hour pillar, which represents exceptional talent, creativity, and expressive power, especially in arts and music.

2

Resilience in Hardship

His Weak Fire Day Master constantly challenged by strong Metal (财) and Water (官杀) signifies a life of overcoming immense pressure and adversity, forging great inner strength.

3

Non-Conformist Spirit

The clash between Wounded Officer (伤官) and Official Star (正官) indicates a rebellious nature against established norms and authority, leading to an unconventional life path.

4

Emotional Depth

The pervasive Water element (七杀 and 正官) brings intense emotions, sorrow, and profound life experiences, which deeply infused his musical compositions.

Loss of Mother in Early Childhood

At the age of four, Abing's mother passed away due to pressure from the clan. This event deprived him of his most immediate support. He was subsequently sent to Dongting Town to be raised by clan members, casting a shadow over his childhood.

Analysis
This year, Abing was in the Ji Wei (己未) Wounding Officer Major Life Phase. The Yearly Pillar was Ding You (丁酉). In fate analysis, the Year Pillar Gui Si (癸巳) represents the mother's palace. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Ding Fire (Rob Wealth) directly clashes with and overcomes the Year Stem Gui Water (Proper Officer) (representing mother and elders). This is known as 'Rob Wealth Seizes the Officer', a strong signal of harm to close relatives. Simultaneously, the Yearly Earthly Branch You Metal forms a Triple Metal Combination with the Month Branch Shen Metal and Day Branch Xu Earth from his birth chart. Metal is his Unfavorable Element, its energy is extremely strong, severely draining the vitality of his Day Master Bing Fire and exacerbating the imbalance of 'Wealth Strong, Body Weak' in his chart. The Major Life Phase Earthly Branch Wei Earth clashes with the Day Branch Xu Earth, affecting the Day Pillar (self and home palace), intensifying family instability and turmoil. The Major Life Phase also carries the Bereavement Star, indicating mourning concerns. The convergence of multiple inauspicious signs led to the pain of losing his mother in childhood.

Return to the Taoist Temple and Beginning of Education

At the age of eight, Hua Yanjun was taken back by his father to the Dongxu Temple in Wuxi. He began studying in a private school, formally given the scholarly name Yanjun, and addressed his father as 'Master', marking a pivotal change in his life's trajectory.

Analysis
This year, he was in the Ji Wei (己未) Wounding Officer Major Life Phase. The Yearly Pillar was Xin Chou (辛丑). His chart favors Wood as a favorable element. The Yearly Earthly Branch Chou contains Gui Water (Proper Officer), resonating with the Ren Water (Killing Officer) in the Hour Pillar Hai, activating the Officer/Killing stars, representing the involvement of elders, teachers, and rules. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Xin Metal (Proper Wealth) combines with the Day Master Bing Fire. Wealth comes to combine with the self, but Metal is an Unfavorable Element. This combination is a 'Dull Combination', meaning that while the surface shows pursuit of studies (Officer/Seal), it actually conceals the complex background and pressure from family (Wealth). The Yearly Auspicious Stars Seal of State, Lucky Star, and Hua Gai gather together. Seal of State governs studies and official recognition, Lucky Star can mitigate adversity, and Hua Gai is related to religious and artistic talent, perfectly aligning with his life's turning point of entering the temple and beginning his education. The Major Life Phase and Yearly Earthly Branches Wei and Chou clash, breaking open the original environment and facilitating this crucial return and resettlement.

Enlightenment in Taoist Music, First Steps into the Artistic World

Around the age of eleven, under his father's guidance, Hua Yanjun began systematically learning traditional culture and musical instruments, laying the initial foundation for his future as a master of folk music.

Analysis
This year coincided with the Ji Wei (己未) Wounding Officer Major Life Phase. The Wounding Officer governs talent, learning, and expression. Both the Heavenly and Earthly Stems of the Major Life Phase are Earth, enhancing the Food God/Wounding Officer energy in his chart, making it an excellent period for learning skills. The Yearly Pillar was Jia Chen (甲辰). The Heavenly Stem Jia Wood (Partial Seal) appears. The Seal star represents learning, absorption, and elder guidance. Jia Wood combines with the Major Life Phase's Ji Earth Wounding Officer, forming a favorable combination of 'Wounding Officer Paired with Seal'. This means that under the structured guidance of an elder (his father), his intelligent artistic talent (Wounding Officer) was transformed into solid skills (Seal taming the Wounding Officer). The Earthly Branch Chen is the Food God, activating the Day Branch Xu Earth Food God. The Food God also governs artistic talent. Furthermore, Chen and Xu clash, and 'clash' implies movement, stimulating his inner artistic potential and motivation to learn. The Yearly Pillar forms a Triple Water Combination (Shen-Zi-Chen) with the Month and Hour Pillars. Water represents the Officer/Killing stars, signifying pressure and discipline, also hinting that although the learning process involved strict supervision, it effectively restrained his nature, allowing him to focus.

At the age of twelve, Abing formally began systematically learning traditional instruments such as the erhu, pipa, sanxian, and flute under his father's guidance in the Taoist temple. He also started participating in religious ceremonies, establishing a solid musical foundation.

Analysis
This year was within the Ji Wei (己未) Wounding Officer Major Life Phase. The Wounding Officer governs the display and learning of skill and talent. The Yearly Pillar was Yi Si (乙巳). The Heavenly Stem Yi Wood (Proper Seal) appears, representing learning, teachers, and the inheritance of orthodox skills, directly triggering his learning opportunity. The Yearly Earthly Branch Si Fire forms a Si-Shen combination with the Month Pillar Shen Metal, and it is a Heaven-Earth Double Combination, activating the Partial Wealth and Killing Officer in the Month Pillar. The Wealth star represents the father, and the Killing Officer represents strict discipline, corresponding precisely to the image of learning skills under the strict guidance of his father (also his teacher). Simultaneously, the Yearly Auspicious Stars include the Heavenly Kitchen Nobleman and Hall of Lyrics, governing culinary enjoyment and literary/artistic talent, which is highly beneficial for learning music that requires oral transmission and artistic expression. This year, his chart formed the favorable combination of 'Wounding Officer Paired with Seal'. His Wounding Officer talent, under the guidance and discipline of the Proper Seal, allowed for systematic learning and growth.

The Handsome 'Little Celestial Master', First Wings in the Music World

At nineteen, Hua Yanjun, with his handsome appearance and superb skills, began to gain prominence in the Wuxi Taoist music scene. He was affectionately called 'Little Celestial Master' by the public, formally launching his career as a professional musician.

Analysis
This year coincided with the Wu Wu (戊午) Food God Major Life Phase. The Food God governs talent, reputation, and expressiveness. The Major Life Phase Earthly Branch Wu Fire is the Peak strong root for the Day Master Bing Fire, and also carries the Heavenly Official Nobleman and General Star, greatly enhancing his skill display and personal charisma. The Yearly Pillar was Ren Zi (壬子). The Heavenly Stem Ren Water (Killing Officer) clashes with the Day Master Bing Fire, forming a 'Fire and Water in Harmony' situation. Although it is a clash, it stimulates the Day Master's vitality and fame. The Yearly Earthly Branch Zi Water (Proper Officer) resonates with the Year Pillar Heavenly Stem Gui Water (Officer Star), strengthening the Officer Star energy, representing social recognition and status elevation. The Major Life Phase Wu Fire and Yearly Earthly Branch Zi Water experience a Heavenly Clash and Earthly Clash, a signal of dramatic change, corresponding precisely to his career turning point from obscurity to prominence. With the Food God showcasing talent meeting the Officer Star, his brilliance could shine before the public, earning him the nickname 'Little Celestial Master'.

After his father Hua Qinghe passed away from illness, Abing formally succeeded him as the head Taoist priest of the Leizun Temple in Wuxi, beginning to fully manage the temple's affairs and income, marking a significant shift in his life role.

Analysis
This year, Abing was 26, in the Ding Si (丁巳) Rob Wealth Major Life Phase. The Major Life Phase Earthly Branch Si combines with the Month Pillar Shen, activating the Geng Shen Partial Wealth in the Month Pillar. This is 'Major Life Phase Combines with Wealth Star', indicating a decade of prosperous wealth and favorable conditions for seeking wealth. The Yearly Pillar was Wu Wu (戊午). The Heavenly Stem Wu (Food God) combines with the Year Pillar Heavenly Stem Gui Water (Proper Officer). This is 'Yearly Pillar Combines with Officer Star', indicating strong career luck this year, easy to gain official or institutional recognition, with signs of taking charge or succession. The Yearly Auspicious Star shows the Heavenly Official Nobleman, indicating it's easy to receive promotion and appreciation from superiors in the workplace. This year, the 'Wealth Flourishing Gives Birth to Officer' pattern in his chart was activated by the Major Life Phase and Yearly Pillar. The temple property (Wealth) left by his father (Partial Wealth) transformed into his formal social status and authority (Officer), representing an important handover and career starting point in fate analysis.

The Mystery of Origins Finally Revealed, Final Words Bring Peace

On his father's deathbed, Abing learned a truth that overturned his understanding: he was not an adopted son, but his father's biological child. This long-delayed secret reshaped his perception of family and self.

Analysis
This year, the individual was in the Ding Si (丁巳) Rob Wealth Major Life Phase. The Life Phase Branch Si Fire combines and clashes with the Month Branch Shen Metal, indicating instability in the family palace. The Yearly Pillar was Wu Wu (戊午). The Heavenly Stem Wu Earth (Food God) appears, representing elders, messages, and the revelation of truth. Wu Earth combines with the Year Stem Gui Water Proper Officer (representing father), precisely the image of the father (Officer Star) transmitting information through words (Food God). Simultaneously, the Yearly Earthly Branch Wu Fire clashes with the Hour Branch Zi Water (Children's Palace), activating the Hour Pillar. The Hour Pillar also represents later life and final destiny; a clash indicates movement, signifying that hidden family matters were uncovered. The Major Life Phase and Yearly Pillar bring strong Fire and Earth, which are Unfavorable Elements, but the appearance of the Food God also indicates an open-minded nature, able to bear and digest this significant life truth.

Loss of Sight, Life Plunges into Darkness

Around the age of 35, due to long-term opium use and contracting syphilis from visiting brothels, Abing lost his sight in both eyes successively. From then on, he could no longer serve as a Taoist priest, and his life trajectory changed completely.

Analysis
This year, he was in the Bing Chen Major Life Phase, Yearly Pillar Wu Chen. In fate analysis, the Day Pillar Bing Xu represents the individual and the spouse palace. The Earthly Branches of the Major Life Phase and Yearly Pillar are both Chen, violently clashing with the Day Branch Xu Earth. This is a clash affecting the spouse palace, indicating extreme turmoil and a drastic change in personal foundation and living environment. Simultaneously, the Major Life Phase and Yearly Pillar Chen undergo self-punishment, intensifying internal conflict and self-destructive tendencies. Most crucially, Shen (Month Branch), Zi (Hour Branch), and Chen (Major Life Phase, Yearly Pillar) form a Triple Water Combination, creating a deluge of Water. Water is the Killing Officer in his chart and also an Unfavorable Element for the Day Master Bing Fire, representing illness, pressure, and disaster. The Water combination is extremely strong, directly overcoming and extinguishing the Bing Fire Day Master, which represents eyes and light. Fire injured by strong Water corresponds to the heart, blood, and eyes in the body. Combined with his chart's inherent condition of 'Metal Cold, Water Chilly', this year the power of the Unfavorable Elements reached its peak, causing a complete collapse of his health defenses and leading to blindness. This was not only the consequence of poor lifestyle choices but also the inevitable manifestation of fate and fortune reaching an extremely dangerous juncture.

Abing married Dong Caidi (later research suggests the actual cohabiting partner was Dong Cuidi) from a rural area in Jiangyin, beginning an important partnership in his life.

Analysis
This year entered the Ji Si Yearly Pillar. The Yearly Earthly Branch Si combines with the Month Branch Shen in the birth chart, activating the Partial Wealth Star (wife star) in the Month Pillar, indicating marriage or romance this year. Simultaneously, the individual was in the Bing Chen Major Life Phase. The Major Life Phase Earthly Branch Chen clashes with the Day Branch Spouse Palace Xu, forming a Chen-Xu clash, indicating an unstable foundation for marriage and relationships over the decade, prone to changes. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Ji Earth Wounding Officer appears, also representing emotional expression and giving. This year was the Year of the Tai Sui, with many changes in fortune; the marriage was concluded amidst this 'active' fortune. However, the underlying issue of the Major Life Phase clashing with the spouse palace also sowed the seeds for future relationship difficulties.

Finding a Soulmate in the Cold Night, 'Moon Reflected in Second Spring' Pours Out the Heart

Abing met the widow Dong Cuidi in an opium den, and the two depended on each other in hardship. This profound companionship stirred his deepest emotions. During this period, he began composing and performing his immortal masterpiece, 'Moon Reflected in Second Spring'.

Analysis
This year was the seventh year of Abing's Bing Chen Major Life Phase (1927-1936). The Major Life Phase Earthly Branch Chen Earth clashes with the Day Branch Spouse Palace Xu Earth, indicating a decade of turbulent emotional life and drastic changes in relationship patterns, foreshadowing an unconventional union formed in hardship. The Yearly Pillar was Gui You. The Heavenly Stem Gui Water Proper Officer combines with the Hour Stem Ji Earth Wounding Officer. The Wounding Officer represents talent, artistic expression, and unrestrained emotion. Being combined by the Officer Star means his suppressed emotions and artistic talent found a formal, reliable outlet. The Earthly Branch You Metal is the Proper Wealth star, also the wife star, and combines with the Major Life Phase Chen Earth, activating the wife connection. Simultaneously, the Major Life Phase carries the Heavenly Joy auspicious star, indicating unexpected joys and emotional opportunities in life. Overall, spouse palace activation meeting wife star combination, coupled with activation of the Wounding Officer star, corresponds precisely to the period of significant emotional change (cohabiting with Dong Cuidi) when his deeply hidden artistic soul was fully ignited, transforming the joys and sorrows of his personal experiences into the deeply moving melody of 'Moon Reflected in Second Spring'.

Due to the Japanese invasion of Wuxi, Abing took refuge in Shanghai. He worked as a qin player (playing the sanxian) for the Kunqu opera troupe Xian Ni She and played a blind extra in the film 'Seventh Heaven', opening a new stage in his artistic career.

Analysis
This year, Abing's Yearly Pillar was Wu Yin, during the Yi Mao Proper Seal Major Life Phase. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Wu Earth Food God appears, representing the display of talent and skills, and means of livelihood. The Earthly Branch Yin Wood is the Longevity position for the Day Master Bing Fire and also a Partial Seal, signifying new environments and artistic refuge. However, the Yearly Pillar forms a Si-Shen-Yin Triple Punishment with the birth chart, and Shen and Yin clash. The Month Pillar (Shen) is clashed, and the Month Pillar represents hometown, foundation, and original career environment. This clash and punishment correspond precisely to being forced to leave his hometown Wuxi due to war (Killing Officer activation), shaking his foundation. The Major Life Phase Yi Mao Proper Seal is a favorable element; Wood generates Fire, enhancing the Day Master's energy and nobleman luck, allowing him to find a new foothold in Shanghai (Yin Wood represents the East) amidst turmoil, making a living as a qin player and actor. The Yearly Auspicious Stars show Heavenly Virtue Combination and Lucky Star Nobleman. Although amidst punishment and clash, there are also signs of turning danger into safety and encountering opportunities.

Drifting in Hardship, Artistic Path Pauses

As his original residence was reclaimed, he was forced to move to Sheng'anli, and his life fell into destitution. To make ends meet, he had to stop evening performances and once turned to street performing at Huishan.

Analysis
This year, the individual entered the Jia Yin Partial Seal Major Life Phase. The Major Life Phase Earthly Branch Yin and the Month Pillar Shen form a clash affecting the foundation, and it also harms the Year Pillar Si. This shakes the foundation, indicating drastic changes in living environment and a life of wandering. The Yearly Pillar Ding Hai forms a Heavenly Clash and Earthly Clash with the Year Pillar Gui Si, which is a Clash with the Tai Sui, with extremely strong impact force, directly triggering changes in residence. Although the Yearly Earthly Branch Hai clashes with the Year Branch Si, it combines with the Major Life Phase Yin, forming Yin-Hai combination into Wood. Wood is a favorable element, seeming to offer a turnaround, but the combination contains damage, making the process arduous. This year sees the simultaneous presence of Killing Officer (Hai Water) and Rob Wealth (Ding Fire), with pressure and competition coexisting. Life was difficult, forcing him to struggle for livelihood, and his artistic career was forced to halt.

Finally Emerging from the Depths of Addiction, the Strings Fall Silent Forever

Abing was sent to a rehabilitation center for opium addiction. After release, his health deteriorated sharply, forcing him to completely abandon his street-performing career, which he relied on for survival, marking a fundamental turning point in his life trajectory.

Analysis
This year, Abing was in the Jia Yin Partial Seal Major Life Phase. The Major Life Phase and the Month Pillar Geng Shen form a double clash, known as a 'Major Life Phase Clashing the Foundation', severely shaking the foundation of his life, indicating drastic changes in health, career, and living environment. The Yearly Pillar was Wu Zi. The Food God appears in the Heavenly Stem; although the Food God can control the Killing Officer, it also drains the self. Particularly crucial, the Yearly Earthly Branch Zi Water and the Hour Pillar Hai Water form a repetition. Repetition indicates sorrow, repetition, recurrence of old illnesses, and disasters related to close relatives. The Hour Pillar represents later life, the body, and final destiny. Repetition here is a strong signal of health collapse and a forced change in life's path. The Major Life Phase Jia Wood Partial Seal is originally a favorable element, but it is overcome by the Yearly Wu Earth Food God. With the favorable element constrained, he suffered physical and mental torment, ultimately leading to the abrupt end of his skill-dependent livelihood.

Immortal Legacy, Six Melodies Define an Era

In his later years, overcoming numerous difficulties and using borrowed instruments, Abing formally recorded six timeless masterpieces including 'Moon Reflected in Second Spring', leaving an immortal artistic treasure for posterity.

Analysis
This year, Abing was 57, in the Jia Yin Partial Seal Major Life Phase. The Major Life Phase and the Month Pillar Geng Shen form a 'Shen-Yin clash', which is a Major Life Phase Clashing the Foundation, shaking the foundation of his life and indicating fundamental changes in career and living environment. However, this clash also forms a 'Upright Qi Without Punishment' pattern, meaning immense pressure and challenges could transform into miraculous achievements. The Yearly Pillar Geng Yin intensified the forces of the Si-Shen-Yin Triple Punishment and the Shen-Yin clash. Although it was a Year of Punishment Tai Sui, bringing much vexation and turmoil, it also thoroughly activated the energy flow of the Partial Wealth Pattern in his chart. The Heavenly Stems of the Major Life Phase and Yearly Pillar Jia and Geng clash, with Partial Seal (Jia) and Partial Wealth (Geng) in conflict, representing the intense collision between his artistic talent (Seal) and worldly value (Wealth), ultimately immortalized in the form of art. The Yearly Pillar and Major Life Phase both carry the Lucky Star Nobleman. Amidst hardship, he finally received help from noble individuals, completed the recording, achieving an eternal breakthrough in his artistic life.

Rebirth of a Masterpiece: The Race Against Time to Record

Professor Yang Yinliu from the Central Conservatory of Music personally went to Wuxi, planning to use the advanced wire recorder of the time to salvage Abing's musical works. Abing practiced specifically for three days for this, leaving behind six immortal works including 'Moon Reflected in Second Spring'.

Analysis
This year, Abing was 57, in the Jia Yin Partial Seal Major Life Phase. Both the Heavenly and Earthly Stems of the Major Life Phase are Wood, which is the favorable Seal star in his chart, governing culture, reputation, and noble individuals. The Yearly Pillar was Geng Yin, forming a Heavenly Clash and Earthly Comparison with the Major Life Phase Jia Yin. The appearance of Geng Metal Partial Wealth clashes with the Major Life Phase Jia Wood Partial Seal, forming a 'Wealth Damages the Seal' pattern, which typically damages reputation and wealth. However, the clever aspect is that the Month Pillar Geng Shen forms a Si-Shen-Yin Triple Punishment with the Yearly Pillar and Major Life Phase, and Shen and Yin clash. This is a 'Year Clashing the Foundation', indicating severe shaking of life's foundation and dramatic changes. Yet, the Major Life Phase and the birth chart form a 'Upright Qi Without Punishment' pattern, capable of transforming immense pressure and turmoil (such as life hardship and poor health) into breakthrough achievements. The Partial Seal represents the sorting and inheritance of cultural heritage. The Lucky Star Nobleman appears, coinciding with scholars (noble individuals) at the national level coming to salvage his art, allowing his nearly lost music to be 'reborn'. This is precisely the manifestation in fate analysis of 'turning misfortune into fortune, achieving unexpected success'.

FAQ

Why did A Bing go blind according to his Bazi?
Blindness is often associated with damage to the Fire element, which represents the eyes and spirit. His Weak Fire Day Master was severely attacked by the strong Metal and Water elements. The critical Wounded Officer见官 clash in his chart specifically signifies major physical misfortune or disability.
How did his Bazi contribute to his musical success?
The Wounded Officer (伤官) star is the primary source of artistic and performance talent. The Weak Fire structure made him highly sensitive and receptive to emotional currents, which he channeled through music. The 食神 (Ding Fire) in his Day Branch also supports technical skill and enjoyment in artistic pursuit.
What was the role of his luck cycles in his life story?
Early Earth (食伤) cycles (己未, 戊午) helped develop his skills. The Fire (比劫) support cycles (丁巳, 丙辰) coincided with his rise to fame. The later Wood (印) cycles (乙卯, 甲寅) brought internal conflict but also the inspiration for his masterworks, though they could not ultimately save his weakened Fire.
Why did his legacy grow after his death?
The posthumous recognition aligns with the strength of the Metal (财) element in his chart, which represents legacy and value. His Weak Fire being 'extinguished' allowed the true value of his Metal (talent/works) and the depth of his Water (emotions/experiences) to be fully appreciated by the world.
Is A Bing's Bazi considered a 'good' destiny?
From a conventional perspective of stability and fortune, his chart shows great hardship. However, from an artistic and spiritual legacy standpoint, it is a powerful destiny. His Weak Fire was refined by suffering (官杀) to produce brilliant, enduring art (伤官), achieving immortality through his cultural contributions rather than personal comfort.
