The Qing Gong Chart uses the imaginary age algorithm because the Chinese were very filial and respectful of their mothers in ancient times. When a mother carries a child for ten months, she counts the ten months in her womb as her age, as a way of thanking her for the pain she endured for herself during these ten months.
