CULTURAL DOSSIERBone-Weight Reading
- When did it emerge?
- Bone-Weight Reading is transmitted as a later imperial Chinese birth-weight verse tradition, commonly linked in legend to the Tang dynasty.
- What does it represent in China?
- The year, month, day, and hour are assigned symbolic weights; their total points to a short rhymed life verse.
- Who developed or used it?
- It is traditionally attributed to the Tang figure Yuan Tiangang, a famous physiognomer and astrologer.
- What did practitioners actually do?
- A table converts the four birth components into qian and liang units, then matches the sum to one fixed verse.
Historical noteThe attribution to Yuan Tiangang is traditional rather than firmly proven, and different tables can produce inconsistent results.
