Birth Time Verification
Wen Tianxiang's birth date is checked as 1236-06-06. 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 Bing Shen, Jia Wu, Ding Si, Ren Yin; the reading gives more weight to the verified date and public life record.

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

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