Ba Zi (Four Pillars)5 min read
Lunar Calendar, Solar Terms, and Feng Shui Years
Bazi year often changes at Lichun (Start of Spring), not Lunar New Year
If you were born between Lichun and Lunar New Year, verify your year pillar with a pro calendar before reading.
Key takeaways
- Births around Lichun may have different year pillars—confirm with a calendar.
- Tai Sui and Five Yellow follow the stem-branch year aligned with Lichun tradition.
- Lunar New Year is cultural; can be weeks apart from Lichun.
