Zhang YushengBaZi Chart Analysis
Ding Fire Day Master, three Wu (Horse) branches create an extremely strong fire force. The chart lacks Water for control. His voice, burning with life, transcended eras. At age 31, the Ding You (丁酉) Luck Cycle resonated with his Day Pillar, and the flame was abruptly extinguished, leaving behind an eternal echo.
BaZi Chart
Birth Time Analysis
Zhang Yusheng was born in the Wei (Goat) hour (1-3 PM), giving the Hour Pillar Ding Wei (丁未). The Hour Stem Ding Fire is a Peer, reinforcing the Ding Fire Day Master with its kind. The Wei Earth branch contains the Talent (食神). The Hour Pillar forms a 'Peer generates Talent' pattern. The extreme strength of Ding Fire is vented through the Talent, representing immense creative energy, expressive desire, and artistic output. Born in the Wei hour, the peak of Yang has passed, but the Ding Fire candlelight remains bright. Wei hides Yi Wood, a Mystic (偏印), providing another root for inspiration in his chart. Compared to the Day Pillar Ding You (丁酉), the Day Branch You Metal is the Venturer (偏財) for wealth, while the Hour Branch Wei Earth is the Talent for artistic output—Zhang Yusheng's greatest life value was his creative artistry, exhausting himself in music, fully embodying the Talent's nature. The Wei hour aligns with his life posture of 'passion burning to the last moment.'
Core Analysis
Zhang Yusheng's BaZi Four Pillars: Bing Wu (丙午) Year, Jia Wu (甲午) Month, Ding You (丁酉) Day, Ding Wei (丁未) Hour. The fire force is extremely strong—Year Pillar Bing Wu double fire, Month Pillar Wu fire (Jia Wood generates fire), Hour Pillar Ding Wei. The chart's Fire-Earth energy is dense. The Ding Fire Day Master is extremely strong, nearly a 'Follow Strength Pattern' (从强格) fire configuration. The Venturer You Metal sits in the Day Pillar, but Metal is overcome in this fiery land, difficult to utilize.
Pattern Analysis: This life is characterized by a 'Strong Fire, Venturer Pattern' (偏财格), with some tendency toward a 'Follow Strength Pattern' (extreme fire, following its momentum brings fortune). Jia Wood, the Mentor (正印), is revealed in the Month Stem, Wood generates fire, making the Day Master even stronger. Three Wu, two Ding, plus Bing as a Rival (劫財), the fire Peer/Rival force is immense.
Day Master Ding You (丁酉), You Metal Venturer sits on the Day. Ding Fire sits on its Birth (长生) position (You is Ding's Birth). Venturer on the Day indicates strong financial perception and career decisions often follow 'Venturer logic' (unconventional thinking, cross-boundary innovation). Zhang Yusheng was both a singer and a songwriter/producer who helped launch A-Mei, perfectly illustrating the Venturer Pattern's 'unconventional path, innovation at boundaries'.
Luck Cycle (Da Yun) Progression: Age 11-20, Yi Wei (乙未) Luck Cycle (1976-1985), Mystic revealed, talent germinates. Age 21-30, Bing Shen (丙申) Luck Cycle (1986-1995), Rival revealed, career drive peaks—fame, albums, solidifying his place in Taiwan's music scene. Age 31-40, Ding You (丁酉) Luck Cycle (1996-2005), Peer Luck Cycle. This cycle's stem and branch are identical to his Day Pillar (Ding You), resonating with it—a time for self-reinforcement and ascension. Yet, just one year into this cycle, in October 1997, he was in a car accident and died in November, manifesting the fortune principle of 'extreme strength leads to breakage'—excessive fire force, at its peak, invites change. The chart lacks Water (Water is the Officer/Warlord, which can control fire). Overly strong fire meeting Water is extinguished; the car accident was an unexpected 'Water' cutting off the candle flame.
Zhang Yusheng's chart perfectly illustrates 'extremely strong fire': pouring everything into the most blazing years, leaving eternal light, yet when a candle burns to its peak, it is time to go out. At 31, just as his music career was poised for greater breakthroughs, it ended abruptly, a profound regret.

Trait Analysis
Fiery Creative Passion
The chart's Four Pillars show an extremely strong fire force: Bing Wu Year, double Wu Month/Day branches, Ding Wei Hour. Fire Peers/Rivals are continuous. Strong fire represents intense passion, desire for expression, and creative energy. Zhang Yusheng's obsession with music surpassed the ordinary—he persisted in creation during military academy, then devoted himself fully after discharge. With burning passion, he wrote timeless classics like 'My Future Is Not a Dream' and 'The Sea', the ultimate portrayal of a strong fire life 'burning with all its might'.
Jia Wood Mentor's Scholarly Foundation
Month Stem Jia Wood, the Mentor (正印), is revealed. Jia Wood as Mentor represents orthodox learning, strict training, and knowledge accumulation. Zhang Yusheng graduated from Chung Cheng Institute of Technology (a military academy), receiving rigorous STEM training. This logic and systematic thinking granted by the Mentor gave his music not only emotional depth but also unique structural sense and intellectual weight, fundamentally different from typical idol singers.
Venturer Pattern's Cross-Boundary Innovation
Day Branch You Metal is the Venturer (偏財). Venturer governs unconventional paths, cross-boundary integration, and sharp market sense. Zhang Yusheng was not just a singer-songwriter but an excellent producer—he spotted talent, discovered and nurtured A-Mei's debut, integrating music resources from a producer's perspective, surpassing the limits of most singers at the time, showcasing the Venturer Pattern's unique vision of 'skilled integration, spotting latent value'.
Talent's Diverse Artistic Expression
Hour Pillar Ding Wei (丁未), Wei contains Ji Earth, the Talent (食神). Plus, the two Wu branches in the Month also hide Ji Earth. The Talent has multiple roots in the chart. Talent governs artistry, expression, and creative output. Zhang Yusheng combined singer, songwriter, and producer, even attempting concept albums and avant-garde experiments. The Talent's diverse creative energy was fully released in him, making him an exceptionally rare all-around talent in Chinese pop music.
Chart's Lack of Water and Brief Life
The Four Pillars show almost no Water (Ren, Gui). The chart severely lacks Water. For a Ding Fire chart, Water represents the Officer/Warlord—both a constraint and a balancing force. Extremely strong fire lacking Water's constraint and balance is like a candle flame without a holder: bright while burning, but unsustainable. At 31, the Ding You Luck Cycle matched his Day Pillar, showing extreme strength. The chart lost Water's balancing effect, making accidents (representing loss of control, sudden change) the greatest hidden danger, ultimately realized in the car crash.

1997 Ding Chou (丁丑) Annual Cycle. The chart shows almost no Water. The extremely strong fire suddenly encounters a shock representing accident.
