Sixty pillars, thirty traditional names

NaYin groups the sixty valid stem-branch combinations into thirty fixed names, two pillars at a time. Sibyl treats it as a chart reference label—not an element score, personality type, or standalone conclusion.

NaYin is not counted toward element strength or favourable-element assessment, and this page derives no compatibility, event, or destiny ranking from it.

How to use this table

Find the two characters of any year, month, day, or time pillar in your chart, then locate its card. The name documents a traditional classification and image; it does not replace Day Master, season, Ten Gods, Hidden Stems, or whole-chart analysis.
