How to determine the hour in the Yijing prediction? What is the standard for determining the hour? Is it based on Beijing time or local time? Actually, the only standard is the sun's position relative to the earth, which is called the true solar time in astronomy. That is, True Solar Time = Mean Solar Time + Equation of Time. When determining the birth hour, it must be calculated according to the local mean solar time at the place of birth, and then calculate the true solar time from the mean solar time. It cannot simply use the Beijing time. The following is a table of the difference between the local mean solar time and the Beijing time for major cities in China, for reference in determining the hours.
