Dear Mina,

1. All major Chinese concepts uses the Chinese Lunar Calendar system.

This is where, when we look at even Chinese astrology, it is based on Chinese Lunar new year.

And the Chinese Lunar calendar use is wide-spread. Thus, when we need to determine a birth-date. This year, Chinese New Year starts on 12th February 2002.

Thus, when we need to check the birth-date, any child born between 1st January 2002 to 11th January 2002 is considered born under the Year 2001 for purposes of Gua calculation.

This site and many other book authors; therefore use the Lunar Calendar system. As far as I know; solar (Xia or Hsia) is used only in Pillars of Destiny as mentioned in detailed to you in earlier postings.

Therefore, I do not see the rationale for the use of solar?

If someone asks you to use the solar calendar. It is prudent to ask the question: " What is your rationale of using the solar calendar".

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
