Three Marvels

Three special stem trios (Jia-Wu-Geng, Yi-Bing-Ding, Xin-Ren-Gui) appearing in order through year, month, day and hour. Traditionally read as unusual talent and coherence.

How it is derived (fixed classical table)

San Ming Tong Hui, volume 3: "the three marvels should be laid out in order and not reversed, such as Yi-Bing-Ding or Jia-Wu-Geng, spread in order through the year, month, day and hour stems." The trios are the heavenly marvels (Jia-Wu-Geng), earthly marvels (Yi-Bing-Ding) and human marvels (Xin-Ren-Gui). This site counts only the "in order" reading; reversed or scattered order is not counted (the source records other readings which we do not use).

Reading it in real life

In practice it reads as a note for thinking in sequence: writing ideas down and going step by step tends to produce more than opening many threads at once.

How this site uses it

Used on this site: listed as a note-only marker on the chart (it is not scored and does not change any score).

Rule of thumb: these markers are read from fixed classical tables, and the scores and advice come from a separate model. Both are laid out on the site, and neither is a claim about what will happen.

Disclaimer

These readings follow the traditional Chinese system (BaZi / Zi Wei Dou Shu) and describe how the classics read a chart. They are not predictions and not medical, legal or financial advice, and no outcome is promised.

FAQ

Which trios count?

Jia-Wu-Geng (heavenly), Yi-Bing-Ding (earthly) and Xin-Ren-Gui (human); the source says in order is auspicious and reversed order is not counted.

What if only two of the three appear?

Not counted here; all three must appear in order through year, month, day and hour.
