Results for "Kim Xà Thiết Tỏa"
Is there any problem if a child is born in the Kim Xà Thiết Tỏa hour?

The book Việt Nam phong tục by Phan Kế Bính records the custom of calculating this hour from the early 20th century, but no research has proven that children born in that hour are harder to raise than other children. Parents should care for their child according to medical guidance, and should not worry because of this convention.
