About

The Qing Palace Gender Chart is a statistical chart allegedly discovered in a royal tomb near Beijing. It relies on two specific variables: the Lunar Age of the mother at the time of conception, and the Lunar Month of conception. Unlike Western age, Lunar Age starts at 1 at birth and increments on the Chinese Lunar New Year.

Most online tools fail because they input Gregorian dates directly into the chart. This tool calculates the exact Lunar Age by comparing the mother's birth date to the Lunar New Year of her birth and conception years. It then maps the coordinates to the 336-cell matrix to reveal the traditional prediction.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The Chinese Gender Chart is an ancient statistical observation or folklore method. While many claim a high success rate (often cited as 50-70%), scientific studies demonstrate it has an accuracy rate of approximately 50%, similar to a coin toss. It is for entertainment and traditional interest.
In the Chinese system, you are considered 1 year old at birth. Additionally, you age up on the Lunar New Year, not your birthday. A baby born one day before the New Year becomes 2 years old just a few days later.
Yes. In the Chinese Lunar Calendar, leap months are occasionally added to sync with the solar year. Conventionally, conception in the first half of a leap month counts as the previous month, and the second half counts as the next month.
