Birth Time Verification

Zheng Banqiao (Zheng Xie)'s birth date is checked as 1693-11-22. I did not find a reliable public birth time, so 20:00 is kept only as a candidate hour. The four pillars shown here are Gui You, Gui Hai, Yi Wei, Bing Xu; the reading gives more weight to the verified date and public life record.

Core Analysis

Zheng Banqiao (Zheng Xie)'s chart is Gui You, Gui Hai, Yi Wei, Bing Xu. The Yi Wood day master is born in the Gui Hai month, so the reading starts with temperament, pressure, and the way talent is put to use.

The page focuses on Integrity and Creativity & Artistry. 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.
