Chinese Calendar Methods

The traditional Chinese calendar system assigns each day to one of the five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each element is associated with a specific gender based on the day of the month:

Wood days (1, 11, 21) - Male
Fire days (2, 12, 22) - Female
Earth days (3, 13, 23) - Male
Metal days (4, 14, 24) - Female
Water days (5, 15, 25) - Male
Wood days (6, 16, 26) - Female
Fire days (7, 17, 27) - Male
Earth days (8, 18, 28) - Female
Metal days (9, 19, 29) - Male
Water days (10, 20, 30) - Female

For months associated with the five elements, the gender prediction is reversed.
