The Tallest Man in The World

Sometimes ago, I have written on the Jia Yin Day which was an excellent day according to Dong Gong method of date selection. I have wondered that Bao Xishun, who currently holds the title of tallest man alive in the Guinness World Record, is born on a Jia Yin day. I have search high and low for his birth date but to no avail.

One of my reader suggested that I looked at another record holder. He is no other than Robert Wadlow. Born in 22 February 1918, Robert is often called "Alton Giant" in his hometown. His height as the tallest man in the medical history is irrefutable until now. He pass away at the age 22 and his last measured heights is 2.72 m or 8 ft 11.1 in.

So can bazi tell a person physical attributes? Yes, up to some point.

Though Robert Wadlow is not born on a Jia Yin day, you can find the Jia Yin Pillar in his chart and it's right on the Month Pillar. It is the most prosperous element in the chart being born right at the start of spring. Imagine a tall, lush, green forest!

Green Forest
That is how Robert Wadlow going to look. Tall, extremely tall!


Robert Wadlow's Bazi Chart

Robert's Day Master is Geng Metal. Being born in spring it is the weakest element in the chart. The chart also does not show the Geng Metal rooted in any of the three pillars. I doubt that the hour pillar has the metal element to support the day master as well. Imagine an axe being used to chop forest of woods. It is tedious work all the way.

According to Wikipedia, Robert started the abnormal growth at the age of 4 when he entered the Luck Pillar of age 4. Between age 4 to 23, Robert was going through the Luck Pillar of wood element. This explained his rapid growth from an ordinary boy to a well-known "Alton Giant".

Robert's popularity began from 1936 at the age of 18 that is in the Luck Pillar of Bing Chen. The Bing Fire in the stem is an Influence Star to Robert. It brought him tremendous fame among the American. It was estimated 40,000 people turn out in his funeral.

His fame as the "Gentle Giant of Illinois" will continue even after his death as shown by continuous fire element from his Luck Pillar of age 14 onwards as well as the Ding Fire in the Wu Horse on the Year Branch.
