Case 11 of 26
True-solar crossings
Chengdu: clock time crosses an Hour Pillar
Historical DST and western longitude move 11:30 back to 09:26.
Boundary question
Can true-solar correction change the branch used for the Hour Pillar?
Yes. The corrected time falls in Si Hour rather than the branch suggested by an uncorrected late-morning clock.

Conventions and limits
What this case does — and does not — prove

Universal agreement across Bazi schools, interpretation of a real person, or certainty where the historical record is incomplete.
