Birth Time Verification

Li Zhengdao's birth date is checked as 1926-11-24. I did not find a reliable public birth time, so 16:00 is kept only as a candidate hour. The four pillars shown here are Bing Yin, Ji Hai, Ding Si, Wu Shen; the reading gives more weight to the verified date and public life record.

Core Analysis

Li Zhengdao's chart is Bing Yin, Ji Hai, Ding Si, Wu Shen. The Ding Fire day master is born in the Ji Hai month, so the reading starts with temperament, pressure, and the way talent is put to use.

The page focuses on Intellectual Creativity and Professional Recognition. The chart is read together with public life events: work, reputation, conflict, and turning points.

Because the birth time is not confirmed, the hour pillar stays as a candidate.
