Patient's question:
I am a female, 25 years old, and three months pregnant. I want to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. How accurate is the Qing Palace chart?Doctor's answer:
The gender prediction chart (Nong Sheng Nong Xiao Qing Gong Tu) lacks scientific basis, so it is not advisable to predict the gender of the fetus solely by referring to it. The gender prediction chart is a tool compiled based on ancient calendars, incorporating theories of yin, yang, and the five elements. It holds some reference value and can be used as a general guide, but it should not be blindly trusted. To scientifically determine the gender of the fetus, the most accurate methods currently available are ultrasound, amniocentesis, or blood tests to examine DNA.
