Four Pillars of Destiny

The Four Pillars of Destiny is a Chinese, Japanese and Korean conceptual term describing the four components that supposedly create a person's destiny or fate. The four components within the moment of birth are year, month, day, and hour. The four pillars (a translation of the Chinese dynastic phrase ''Shēng Chén Bā Zì'') are used alongside fortune-telling practices such as ''Zǐ wēi dòu shù'' within the realm of Chinese astrology. Comparisons have been made between Western astrology and Ba Zi. However, unlike astrology, Ba Zi analysis does not look at an 'alignment' of celestial bodies of stars and planets but is based on the 'alignment' of blocks of time delineated by the ''Wan Nian Li'' (萬年曆), the "10,000-year" Chinese almanac.〔Richard J. Smith, ''Mapping China and Managing the World: Culture, Cartography and Cosmology in Late Imperial Times'' (Oxfordshire, England: Routledge Press, 2012).〕〔''Traditioneller Chinesischer Mondkalender'' (Traditional Chinese Lunar Calendar), (Berlin: 2 Kehrer Verlag, Heidelberg, 2000)〕〔T. Aylward, ''The Imperial Guide to Feng Shui and Chinese Astrology'' (London: Watkins Publishing, 2007)〕
==Etymology==
The "four pillars" refers to the Chinese term (生辰八字, ''Shēng Chén Bā Zì''), which translates as "The Eight Characters of Birth Time". This is also referred to by the Chinese term (四柱命理學, ''Sì Zhù Mìng Lǐ Xué''), which translates to "Study of 'Four Pillars of Life' Principles".
Commonly referred to by the shortened terms, "Four Pillars" or ''Bā Zì'', a frequently used alternate phrase is "Four Pillars of your birth time". It is called Bā Zì (八字), Eight Characters, because each of the four pillars (representing the year, month, day, and hour of one's birth, respectively) is represented by two characters; one character for a "Heavenly Stem" and one character for an "Earthly Branch". There are 10 Heavenly Stems (天干, ''Tiān Gān'') and 12 Earthly Branches (地支, ''Dì Zhī''). The 12-zodiac-animal reference is a folkloric representation of the 12 Earthly Branches. One four pillars text was that of the Qianlong Emperor.
