Birth Time Verification
Public records confirm July 30, 1895, but not a reliable birth time; this page uses a Shen-hour candidate. The chart used here is Yi-Wei, Gui-Wei, Wu-Yin, Geng-Shen. It is a Wu Earth day master with an Direct Officer structure; favorable elements lean toward Water and Wood. The page keeps source-backed facts separate from BaZi interpretation. When the hour is inferred, that uncertainty stays visible.
Core Analysis
Qian Mu is read at 16:00 with the chart Yi-Wei, Gui-Wei, Wu-Yin, Geng-Shen. This is a Wu Earth day master with an Direct Officer structure; favorable elements lean toward Water and Wood, while excess Fire and Earth tends to add strain. Qian Mu (1895-1990) was a historian and intellectual historian. Self-education, teaching, Outline of National History, New Asia College, and his later Taipei years define this case. This chart is most useful for reading the way effort appears in public life. The Direct Officer structure is not a personality label by itself; in the timeline it appears as a mix of opportunity, recognition, responsibility, and cost.
