Chinese Birth Gender Chart - History and Background

Throughout the history of China, most Chinese prefer boy. The reason is simple, male is more powerful than female!

Traditionally, China is an agricultural country. In ancient chinese, more boys mean they could help their families do more heavy works in farm. As a result, they could make more money. Girls, on the other hand, should stay at home until they reached sixteen or seventeen, during which time they were little more than an expense. They were then taken to

their husbands' home and their own families had no further control their life or conduct. This through many years and centuries has generated in the popular mind a feeling that it is "bad business raising girls for other people,"

Besides, it is only boys that can inherit ancestral property, carry on the family farm or business. In these situation, it is not surprising that ancient chinese had developed some sort of techniques for getting boys.

The ancient Chinese Gender Chart (or Chinese pregnancy Calendar) is used to predict the sex of unborn child. The chart was buried in a tomb near Beijing for 700 years. The original copy is now in the Institute of Science in Beiling, and because of its high accuracy, it is getting more attention from both Western and Eastern world.
