The Structure of BaZi
The Ten Heavenly Stems and the Twelve Earthly Branches are a “must know” if you are to practice
BaZi reading. The reason for this is that each of the characters represented by the Heavenly Stems
and Earthly Branches allows us to analyze in-depth and gain a better understanding about a person’s
character, potential, and destiny with the elements that appear on his/her BaZi Chart.

4.1. Di Kan, Earthly Stem:
1.3 Earthly Stems
Originally, they are considered as Twelve Branches. In Dun Jia way, included stems of branches are
used at first. According to ancient Chinese phylosophy, people think heaven is moving, and earth is
staying. Therefore, twelve branches are always set at the same position, despite stems are changing
their positions by time passing.
There are two patterns to position 9 stems like following:
Under Yin Dun, three San Qi come at first ascendantly, and six Liu Yi follow next descendantly.
Under Yang Dun , six Liu Yi come at first ascendantly, and three San Qi follow next
descendantly,
We use situation numbers to arrange nine stems, which made up special situations by making
formations.
At first, the position of Wu stem is the home position of the same number Gong with situation
number. For example, if current situation number is 6, the position of the first stem (it should
be Yi under Yin Dun, and Wu under Yang Dun) is at northwest, which is the home position of
Liu-Bai (six-white) Gong.
1.4 San Qi means three high-valued symbolic agents and consists of, Yi 乙 Wood, Bing 丙 Fire, Ding 丁
Fire
1.5 Liu Yi (six symbolic flags of the king and feudal lords.) is a stem which is be rearranged by
hidden Jia.
It consists of , . Liu Yi is determined by stems and branches
automatically.
For example, if stem-and-branch of year, month, day, or hour is Yi You, No 22, we can find that Liu
Yi is decided to Geng stem.

What is Stems and Branches?
Stems and Branches theory is about cycles, transformations and interactions of qi that affects
a person both internally and externally.
day and night and the changing seasons. the natural rhythms of nature underlie the most
fundamental aspects of our lives and are thus fundamental to our health. Everything in the universe is
connected. A vibration in any part affects the whole. Although everything is made of qi.
How is Stems and Branches Used?
The ancients applied this to medicine and called it acupuncture. We call it classical Stems and
Branches.”
“Life is ceaselessly built on rhythms, through the yin-yang oscillation of day and night, the moon’s
waxing and waning phases and the turning seasons of the year – this knowledge preserved in the
Lunar and Lunisolar calendars of ancient China – and through the cycles presented in the
sexagesimal sequence of the heavenly stems and earthly branches.”
