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.
