The 12 Day Officers in Chinese Alamanac "Tong Shu" is an entry level date selection technique in both FengShui and BaZi Four Pillars of Destiny applications that is essential for separating generic usable dates from good usable dates. This method is translated into 12 Day Officers or Deities. "Deity" here has no relation to spirit or godly features. There are used in both FengShui applications and BaZi Four Pillars of Destiny analysis. The names of these 12 Day Officers are derived from the 12 types of Qi energy that govern the body of Qi for that particular day.

The concept of the 12 Day Officers is each single day of the month as under the control of an officer. There are together 12 officers, hence it named the 12 Day Officers.
