One of the most famous and enduring of these methods is the Chinese Gender Predictor Chart. It’s a fun, simple way to join in on a centuries-old tradition and add a little extra excitement to your pregnancy journey.
While this is a beloved guessing game, please remember that it is not based on science and is for entertainment purposes only. Enjoy the fun and mystery!
What is the Chinese Gender Predictor?
The Chinese Gender Predictor is a legendary chart that claims to predict a baby's sex based on two key pieces of information: the mother's Chinese lunar age at the time of conception and the Chinese lunar month in which conception occurred. By cross-referencing these two lunar calendar values on a specific grid, the chart reveals a prediction of either 'Boy' or 'Girl'.
The Legend and History of the Chart
The story behind the chart adds to its mystique. Legend has it that the original chart is over 700 years old and was discovered in a royal tomb near Beijing during the Qing Dynasty. It was said to have been a prized document used by the imperial family to help them conceive sons to carry on the family lineage. While its true origins are a mystery, the chart's enduring popularity makes it a fun connection to ancient traditions.
How to Use Our Gender Predictor Tool
The lunar calendar is complex, so our tool does all the conversions for you. Simply provide your details from the standard (Gregorian) calendar:
- Enter Your Date of Birth: Provide your birth date, and the tool will automatically calculate your Chinese lunar age at the time you conceived.
- Enter Your Date of Conception: Provide the date of conception. If you're unsure, you can use your ovulation date or estimate 14 days after your last period started. The tool will convert this into the correct Chinese lunar month.
The calculator then finds where your lunar age and lunar month intersect on the ancient chart to give you its fun prediction!
