Birth Time Verification

Li Siguang’s birth date follows public sources: 1889-10-26, with Huanggang, Hubei as the birthplace. No direct birth-hour record has been found. This page marks the hour as candidate hour, and the local record keeps candidates across the twelve Chinese hours. Among the candidate hours, Yin and Mao make Wood too heavy and push the reading toward a purely scholarly temperament. Wu, Wei and Xu make Earth and Fire too heavy and can press down on Yi Wood. The Chen hour gives Ji Chou, Jia Xu, Yi Hai, Geng Chen. Yi Wood sits on Hai Water, Geng Metal as Direct Officer appears in the hour stem, and Chen Earth in the hour carries the feel of a Water storehouse and geological layers. The chart has both scientific discipline and the tangible sense of geology, minerals and resources. The Chen hour is used because it explains Li Siguang’s path from geological research to national resource judgment, and also his scientific organizational responsibilities inside institutions.

Core Analysis

Read with the Chen hour, Li Siguang’s BaZi is Ji Chou, Jia Xu, Yi Hai, Geng Chen. Yi Wood sits on Hai Water, and Earth appears heavily in the year, month and hour. The local calculation reads this as a Direct Wealth pattern with a balanced day master. Metal and Water are helpful; too much Wood or Earth is not.

Direct Wealth here points to land, minerals, strata and verifiable resources. Geng Metal as Direct Officer in the hour represents scientific rules, measurement standards and state responsibility. Hai Water under the day branch gives knowledge and mobility, letting Yi Wood find a path through thick Earth.

After 1945 he entered the Wu Chen Direct Wealth luck cycle, and his return to China plus national geological work gradually took shape. After 1955, the Ding Mao Eating God cycle made academic expression and theory clearer. He died in 1971, during the Bing Yin Hurting Officer cycle and Xin Hai year. Xin Metal as Seven Killings appeared, Hai Water echoed the day branch, and Metal, Water and Wood moved together at an advanced age. Traditional life-limit reading would look at pressure on liver, tendons, bones and cold-damp conditions.

16yrs education

Went to Japan to study

Li Siguang went to Japan in his early years, where he encountered modern science and revolutionary thought.

BaZi Note
In the Ren Shen cycle, Resource and Officer arrived together, suiting overseas study of scientific rules. In 1905, Yi Si brought a Si-Hai clash to the day branch, clearly showing travel and a change in life direction.

Returned to China after receiving his doctorate

After completing his studies in Britain, Li Siguang returned to China and entered geological education and research.

BaZi Note
The Xin Wei cycle carried both Metal and Earth, strengthening degree, rules and geological substance. In 1920, Geng Shen made Direct Officer Metal strong. Returning to teach and building academic order fit the image of Officer as favorable.
1950
61yrs Career

Returned to New China for scientific construction

Li Siguang returned from overseas to Beijing and took part in the building of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and national geological work.

BaZi Note
The Wu Chen cycle made Wealth Earth very heavy, bringing forward national resources, geology and institutional responsibility. In 1950, Geng Metal as Direct Officer appeared, while Yin-Hai combined into Wood. This shows both state office and academic roots.
