.These constellations are tianfu H", heavenly complements, sui huie"|, the year meets, tong tian fuP H", identical to heavenly complements, tong sui huiPe"|, identicalto the year meets, and tai yi tian fu A H", Taiyi heavenly complements. 5.4.1.Heavenly Complements, tian fu H" Whenever the annual periodand the qi controlling heaven of a particular year are identical in their as-sociations with the five agents, this is called heavenly complements. Theassociation of the stems and branches with the five agents applied here isthat characteristic of the doctrine of the five periods and six qi (see above,Appendix 1.3).Su wen 68 states:[Huang] Di:If in a year of a soil period, one sees major yin [qi] in the upper [half of thatyear],if in a year of a fire period, one sees minor yang [qi] and minor yin [qi]in the upper [half of that year], Unschuld,Huang Di nei jing 12/2/02 1:35 PM Page 463appendix 463if in a year of a metal period, one sees yang brilliance [qi] in the upper[half of that year],if in a year of a wood period, one sees ceasing yin [qi] in the upper[half of that year],if in a year of a water period, one sees major yang [qi] in the upper[half of that year],how is that?Qi Bo:[In these cases, the qi controlling] heaven meets with the [first half of a year].Hence the Book on the Heavenly Origin calls this heavenly complements. 117Su wen 71 states:When in a wu zi [year] or a wu wu [year], [that is, a] major zhi [year],minor yin [qi] comes down in the upper [half of the year];when in a wu yin [year] or a wu shen [year], [that is, a] major zhi [year],minor yang [qi] comes down in the upper [half of the year];when in a bing chen [year] or a bing xu [year], [that is, a] major yu[year], major yang [qi] comes down in the upper [half of the year].There are three of this [type].When in a ding si [year] or a ding hai [year], [that is, a] minor jue [year],ceasing yin [qi] comes down in the upper [half of the year];when in a yi mao [year] or a yi you [year], [that is, a] minor shang [year],yang brilliance [qi] comes clown in the upper [half of the year];when in a ji chou [year] or a ji wei [year], [that is, a] minor gong [year],major yin [qi] comes down in the upper [half of the year].There are three of this [type].118The meaning of these paragraphs can be explained by two examples.Ina wu zie"lyear and in a wu wue"»year, the celestial stem is wue".Thetwo celestial stems wue"and gui correspond to fire.Hence the annualperiod of wu zi and wu wu years is fire.The earth branch of a wu zi year is zil; the earth branch of a wu wu year is wu».The two earth branches ziland wu»are associated with minor yin, that is, ruling fire.Hence in a wuzi year and a wu wu year both the annual period and the qi controlling heavenare associated with fire; that is, their five-agents associations are identical.In a ding siBxyear and a ding haiBËyear, the celestial stem is dingB.The two celestial stems dingBand ren correspond to wood.Hence the an-nual period of ding si and ding hai years is wood.The earth branch of a dingsi year is six; the earth branch of a ding hai year is haiË.The two earthbranches sixand haiËare associated with ceasing yin, that is, wind and wood.Hence in a ding si year and a ding hai year both the annual period and the qicontrolling heaven are associated with wood; that is, their five-agents associa-tions are identical.Such constellations are named heavenly complements.
