Birth Time Verification
Tu Youyou's birth date is checked as 1930-12-30. I did not find a reliable public birth time, so 04:00 is kept only as a candidate hour. The four pillars shown here are Geng Wu, Wu Zi, Jia Yin, Bing Yin; the reading gives more weight to the verified date and public life record.
Core Analysis
Tu Youyou's chart is Geng Wu, Wu Zi, Jia Yin, Bing Yin. The Jia Wood day master is born in the Wu Zi month, so the reading starts with temperament, pressure, and the way talent is put to use. The page focuses on Inventiveness and Perseverance. 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.
