Gwan-Hwan Hwang (黃冠寰)
Even as of now, it is still very hard for me to believe that I am publishing a book about BaZi. As an engineer by training and a researcher in academic for over 20 years, mastering BaZi was never part of my plan. When I first started years ago, all I wanted to find out was whether BaZi has any truth in it or simply is a thousand-year-old baloney. I did not have any teacher to guide (or misled) me. I studied everything on my own, with the same systematic method I used in my academic research works. In my career I have published many papers and professional articles, but never a book addressed to the general public. Allow me to start by asking you to bear with me if in any part of this book the use of words is less than perfect.
Contrary to most of the books about fortunetelling, the main objective of this book is to help debunk superstitions. There are a lot of fortunetellers who practice without trying to improve or even verify their own analysis. Whenever the result is not accurate, they conveniently attribute it to Karma or some sort of will of divinity. They are never wrong because they always say things that are ambiguous and unverifiable, with the sole purpose to scam more money out of the client’s pocket. Those who fall for their scheme often lose a lot more than just money. Some happy couples are torn apart. Others simply do not dare to enter relationship. Some even send their children away for adoption because some fortuneteller tells them that keeping their children in the family could threaten their own lives. All these are, undoubtedly, superstitions, and should be condemned by all.
The art of fortune telling, especially BaZi, was considered highly valuable in ancient China. Each school of practitioners guarded their knowledge as the top secret. Many of them did so by spreading out false or misleading information so that they can keep the real knowledge within. This is why we are seeing so many false knowledge and superstition in the art of BaZi today. The only way to restore the knowledge to its purest essence is to study it with a scientific and logical attitude. I hope that this book can serve as a beginning of such endeavor.
The influence of BaZi and Five Element to one’s luck and life, although significant, is never absolute. Learning BaZi helps us understand the influence of the energies around us, but the purposes is to help us better plan our moves, not to make us submissive. We are still the masters of our lives. All we have to do is to incorporate the influence of BaZi as we plan ahead and maintain a proactive attitude.
Learning BaZi not only gave me the ability to help others, it also helped change my perspective toward life with a more open-minded and inclusive way. I become more interested in the topic of philosophy and life, and more willing to help others. Not only I make constant charity donation from the income of my BaZi practice, I also urge my clients to do the same.
I would like to thank my wife Hsin-Fen, who co-authored this book with me. Hsin-Fen has been my greatest help throughout the course of my BaZi study. She is a smart lady and is a lot more sensitive in personal interactions than I am. Therefore she can always provide me valuable feedback. A lot of insights and findings that I developed came from her inputs. I always discussed every case with her.
Since the first edition in Chinese was published, our readers have provided us lots of positive feedbacks. Such recognition is the best reward that drives us forward. We have also received lots of questions from readers (prof.hwang.fortune.telling@gmail.com). We always replied each one of them as best as we could. Many readers even visited us in-person. Some of them come all the way to Taiwan from Hong Kong, Singapore, USA, and Canada. I have always been moved seeing that each of them carrying a copy of this book filled with their footnotes and remarks all over the pages. We really appreciate having such a group of supportive readers.
The basic principle of BaZi is simple, but applying it into real lives is a highly complicated art. I have the fortune to have a group of students, who identify with my idea of studying BaZi in scientific and logical perspective, and strengthened our course along the way. For that we are thankful.
This is our first English version. We made a lot of efforts to help English readers cross through the cultural barriers, which could have been the most difficult part for non-Chinese speakers to learn BaZi and perhaps the main reason that BaZi is less known outside the Chinese society. We believe that the principle of BaZi can be learned across cultures and does not need to be lost in translation. With that in mind, we made unprecedented changes such as marking Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches with simple symbols (H1 – H12, E1 – E12) instead of sticking to the Chinese phonetic translations (Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding,…). We also translate the Ten Spirits with the same principle – making it easy to understand for English readers, rather than sticking to the phonetics.
Anther major effort we made in the English version is adding a number of case examples familiar to our English readers. The original Chinese version contains mostly examples of people in Taiwan. To better relate the art of BaZi to our English readers, we added a number of cases examples of persons familiar to English readers, such as Ernest Hemingway, Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jordan, Van Gogh, and the recent presidential campaigns of US (Trump vs. Clinton) and France (Macron vs. Le Pen). We believe that these examples will bring the art of BaZi closer to our English speakers, and prove that the principle of BaZi is universal.
We are excited to have this book published. We hope you like our book and find the art of BaZi fascinating and look forward to any feedback you may have.

Hsing-Fen Chiang (江幸芬)
I was exposed to fortune telling since I was young. Many of my family members and distant relatives sought help from fortunetellers of all schools, such as Zi-Wei-Dou-Shu (Chinese Astrology), face reading, palm reading, even the local temples with mediums. You name it, they mostly have tried it. Sometimes I went with them and observed the process. Whenever the fortuneteller told them that they are destined to have a rich and prosperous life, they were cheered and felt life full of hope. On the contrary, if the fortuneteller warns them that they will have trouble, lose their wealth or get sick, they got worried and depressed. If the warning is about their marriage, they got suspicious to their other halves and started to nose around, or even force their other half to vow for their loyalty. This sometimes ended up ruining their marriages (which ironically fulfilled the “prophecy”). Even worse, some of them believed in what the fortune teller said and made aggressive investment, in the end losing all his retirement saving.
Having observed what happened to my relatives, I could not help but wonder why different fortune tellers, based on the supposedly same school of technique (for example, BaZi), could derive in opposite conclusions? The same person could be judged to have a great life by one and to have a harsh life by another. For a while I tried to understand the theory behind these arts of fortune telling and bought some books from the market to study. However, the more I read, the more confusing I got. Not only these books lack the basic principle and logic, they are full of special cases and exceptions. I finally gave up and stashed these books deep in the storage. Perhaps fortune telling is for someone more gifted than myself.
A few years ago, my husband brought home a few boxes of book about BaZi, and started to study them in his leisure time. For a researcher in the technology field like him, the inconsistencies and ambiguities filled in these books was really unbearable. He finally decided to get to the bottom of it. He started to analyze and compare across all the books, weeding out the inconsistencies and controversial part. Finally he was able to build his model of modern BaZi theory around the main principle of Yin/Yang and Five Elements. With that he started to verify and modify based on the real-life case examples through practice. This led to all that we present here in this book.
The modern BaZi theory extracted the real essence of BaZi out of superstitions and folklores, making it a practice that could apply to our daily lives. Each of us carries a combination of code from the time of our births. The code combined with the Grand Fortune, Year Flow and Month Flow, created a series of production and countering flow of energies that is unique to each individual, and forming the pattern that affects the person’s life. Knowing your own flow of energy helps us better understand who we are and build our plans accordingly. The flow of energy does not dictate what would happen to you, but simply tells you who you are and how you could best plan your life. It helps you better choose your career, plan your investment, doing the right things at the right time, managing your relationship with the way that best fit you. It is not a superstition, but a tool that you can use to gain control of your life.
I am thankful to be part of the journey of the BaZi research of my husband, who has the patience and attitude to study in the logical and systematic way. It has been a rewarding and memorable experience to study and discuss all the cases with him. I am also very thankful to my friends and family, who openly shared their life experiences to help us verify and improve our practices.
Since the First Edition in Chinese was published in 2013, we received tremendous feedback and acknowledgement around the world. Along with them hundreds of cases for us to further test our theory, making it even more solid. For that I can’t appreciate enough to all these readers who support us.
We cherish each person that is brought to us on the path of studying BaZi. Studying with friends of common interest is always a pleasant thing. I invite you all to join our journey and move forward together.
