HuaZhiHui
A platform for Chinese folk culture, with Traditional Chinese as the priority.
Liqiu (Start of Autumn) is the exact moment when the sun reaches a specific ecliptic longitude — Beijing 19:42, Vancouver 04:42. Therefore, the Year Pillar and Month Pillar are aligned with absolute time, while the Day Pillar and Hour Pillar use local time. Most tools feed the birth time directly into a calendar library, and this step is wrong — and if it's wrong, there will be no prompt. This site lays out every conversion step, letting you verify for yourself.
