The Legend of the Sixty-Year Cycle: General Introduction
0. Origin
Tianlai, the spiritual wanderer, delves into meditation, exploring the wondrous realms of the sixty-year cycle (the Ganzhi, or sixty stem-branch combinations) and the interwoven energies of their Five Element (Wu Xing) affinities. Through this deep reflection, Tianlai deciphers the legendary tales hidden within the sixty Ganzhi—soon to be unveiled in order:
1. Fire Chapter: "The Radiance of the Southern Vermilion Bird"
Corresponding to the crown chakra, representing the primordial spiritual energy.
Witness Wu Zetian’s creation of the character 曌, symbolizing the sun and moon shining brightly in the sky—the moonlight offers compassionate energy in the darkness, while sunlight provides wisdom in the day. 曌 embodies total awakening, 24/7, every single day of the week!
The Southern Vermilion Bird channels six fire energy streams:
- Furnace Fire (stoking inner transformation): No. 3 Bingyin (Fire Tiger) & No. 4 Dingmao (Fire Rabbit).

- Heavenly Fire (celestial clarity): No. 55 Wuwu (Fire Horse) & No. 56 Jiwei (Fire Goat).
2. Water Chapter: "The Clarity of the Northern Black Tortoise"
Corresponding to the root chakra, representing primordial essence and the energy of life’s foundation.
The elegance of calligraphy’s Eight Principles of Yong (永) encapsulates the life journey:
- Independent Self: a solitary stream flowing freely.
- Social Self: rivers converging in unity.
- Universal Self: all waters merging into the vast sea.
The Northern Black Tortoise embodies six water energy flows:

3. Wood Chapter: "The Growth of the Eastern Azure Dragon"
Corresponding to the heart chakra, spiraling leftward, representing the primordial life force.
Wood is trees, not dead logs, silly! It grows as:
- Individual trees: symbolizing personal independence.
- A forest: representing society.
- A dense jungle: mirroring the grand scale of the universe.
The Eastern Azure Dragon channels six wood energy currents:
- Great Forest Wood: No. 5 Wuchen (Wood Dragon) & No. 6 Jisi (Wood Snake).
- Willow Wood: No. 19 Renwu (Wood Horse) & No. 20 Guiwei (Wood Goat).

- Pomegranate Wood: No. 57 Gengshen (Wood Monkey) & No. 58 Xinyou (Wood Rooster).
4. Metal Chapter: "The Resonance of the Western White Tiger"
Corresponding again to the heart chakra, spiraling rightward, emphasizing clarity and refinement.
In ancient wars, the beating of gongs signaled retreat—a practice mirrored in the battle of life. Feel the autumn wind! It’s the universe’s way of urging you to put on a jacket and pause for reflection, silly!
Metal resonates as:
- Pure Metal: personal independence.
- Alloyed Metal: social unity.
- Exalted Gold: universal harmony.
The Western White Tiger carries six metal energy vibrations:
- Sea Gold: No. 1 Jiazi (Metal Rat) & No. 2 Yichou (Metal Ox).

- Ornamental Gold: No. 47 Gengxu (Metal Dog) & No. 48 Xinhai (Metal Pig).
5. Earth Chapter: "The Return of the Central Qilin"
Fallen leaves return to their roots, performers bow out when the curtain falls, and the inn closes when the play is over. Goodbye, my beautiful life.
In truth, life is a stage, and the real "you" watches your role unfold from the homeland of your soul—laughing quietly as the play goes on.
Earth manifests as:
- Solid Earth: independence.
- Unified Earth: community.
- Exalted Earth: universal alignment.
The Central Qilin embodies six earthly forces:
- Roadside Earth: No. 7 Gengwu (Earth Horse) & No. 8 Xinwei (Earth Goat).
- City Wall Earth: No. 15 Wuyin (Earth Tiger) & No. 16 Jiayin (Earth Rabbit).
- Rooftop Earth: No. 23 Bingxu (Earth Dog) & No. 24 Dinghai (Earth Pig).
- Cliffside Earth: No. 37 Gengzi (Earth Rat) & No. 38 Xinchen (Earth Ox).
- Courier Station Earth: No. 45 Wushen (Earth Monkey) & No. 46 Jiyou (Earth Rooster).
- Desert Earth: No. 53 Bingchen (Earth Dragon) & No. 54 Dingyin (Earth Snake).
Tianlai’s Revelation: Life is a symphony of elements, each energy flowing in rhythm with the others, weaving the intricate tapestry of existence. Each of the sixty stems and branches holds a unique story, resonating with humanity’s journey.
