The
Chinese have a unique way to determine the gender of their future children.
They use the Chinese Gender Chart to do it. It
is a chart that predicts the gender of baby by cross referencing the month of
conception, the date of conception and the mother’s age. That is how to use it.
The basic understanding is that women of the same age give the impression more
likely to give the birth children of the same gender. On the other hand,
some women use the Chinese chart to plan the child’s gender. So it can be used
to predict the baby’s gender, or it can be used as arrangement for your future
child.
According
to the legend which is an urban legend possibly, the ChineseGender Chart was found in a tomb of Chinese royal over 700 years ago. It
has been used to predict the baby’s sex. Legend said that the chart had been
invented at the early era of the Qing dynasty around 1644 – 1912 AD. The chart
was created with the help of I Ching which included the Eight Trigrams, the
five elements, and Ying Yang symbols. The location of royal tomb where the
chart was found is near Beijing. Today, the original chart is kept in Peking
for further scientific study in the Institute of Science.
Actually,
there is a reason why the Chinese invented this chart. From the history of
China, male children were preferred by the Chinese. The only reason
was because males were stronger than females physically. In the history
of ancient Chinese society, boys could help their family by doing hard duties
so that the boys were capable to make more money than girls. On the other hand,
the girls must stay at home until they were matured, about sixteen or seventeen
years old. Of course, the girls could not make any money. On the contrary,
parents had to spend more expense until they would be taken by their husbands.
Because of it, the ancient Chinese emperors really concerned about their future
children. They really wanted male children as the heir of their throne. Even
though there is no report saying that it is accurate, many people still use
this method up to now. From the feedback of them who already use it, most of
them said that it is accurate.
When
you are trying to use the Chinese Gender Chart,
you must remember that the Chinese have their own way to count their age by
using Chinese lunar month. So if you want to use it, make sure you already
convert your lunar age into the Chinese lunar month. If you don’t convert your age
first, the result seems to be incorrect. Moreover, you should put the date of
conception correctly. If you miscalculate it, the result will also be
incorrect. You can find many different versions of the chart that are available
online.
There
are two main versions of The Chinese Gender Chart.
The first one is the ancient chart and the other is the modern chart. To use
the ancient chart is quite easy. You can predict the gender of your unborn
child by cross referencing the chart. Find the age of the conception. The
numbers are located across the top of the chart. Then find the month when the
conception occurred. The month list can be found in the left side of the chart.
Then find the right point where the correct row and column intersect. At the
intersection you will see a letter B or G that represents a boy for B and a
girl for G. The modern version of it is available but in the form of generator
of prediction. The way it works is more advanced than the ancient chart. The
generator of prediction uses the actual conception date and also the mother’s
actual birthday into account, not only the years and the months that the event
occurred so that it might be more accurate in term of prediction. However, some
of them use lunar month and Chinese lunar month. If using lunar month, you
should convert it first. But some generators already convert your lunar month
birthday automatically. Remember, no one guarantees that this method is really
accurate. However, most people who have already tried this method said that the
result is accurate.
