The day pillar in the eight characters represents “I” and it called “Day Master”. The Ten Gods are centered on “I” and are a symbol system constructed through the relationship between the five elements and the differences in yin and yang attributes between the heavenly stems. Its essence is an abstract modeling of social relations and human characteristics in ancient times. The judgment rules are as follows:

Yin and Yang attributes: The other Heavenly Stems and Day Master have the same Yin / Yang (both Yin or both Yang) or different (one Yin and one Yang)

Generating and overcoming relationship: The five elements of generation and restraint between other heavenly stems and the day element
