Chinese Pregnancy Calendar - What Is A Chinese Pregnancy Calendar?
The Chinese pregnancy calendar is an absolute must have for any mother to be. If you don't already know what it is, a Chinese Pregnancy Calendar is a chart that was buried in the tomb of royals around a 700 years ago. Currently on display at the Beijing Institute of Science, it is supposed to tell expectant couples whether or not their child is going to be a boy or a girl. The calendar has two axes: the age of the mother at conception and the month that the baby was conceived. There's no telling exactly how accurate the chart is, but it correctly guessed the sex of both my brother and me when I looked it up.
The Chinese pregnancy calendar hardly seems random when you take a look at it. If the mother was 18 when she conceived the baby, the odds of the child turning out to be a boy are five out of six. On the other hand, if the mother was 21 at the age of conception, the odds of having a boy are only one in twelve. When you take a quick look at the color coded chart, it seems as though when the mother gets older, the chances of having a boy are about as likely as having a girl.
It's all very interesting when you look at the history of the Chinese pregnancy calendar. You have to wonder how many generations of people relied on it when deciding to have a baby. Still, there are a lot of questions that remain in regard to the mysterious entombed document. Was the chart something that was available for the general population, or was it exclusively reserved for the elite class? The world may never know, but now we all have access to it whenever we want.
