Nayin is the paired sound of a pillar
Nayin gives each stem-branch pair a traditional name, such as metal in the sea for one pillar. It is an old label for that pair. It is not a second set of elements, and it does not assign a trade by itself.

Nayin follows a whole pillar
The year pair, the month pair, the day pair, and the hour pair each have one. Change either character and the nayin name can change. It depends on pillars that are already cut.
The metal or wood inside the name is not a second weighting
The metal in “metal in the sea” is part of the label. Element weights are still added from stems, branches, and hidden stems at 1, 0.5, and 0.3. Nayin is not added into that total again.
When the year pillar has a nayin
Illustration: the year pillar’s nayin prints wood of the great forest. You can say that pair’s traditional sound is wood of the great forest. The day master’s element remains the day stem. Do not turn the nayin into a new day master, and do not turn the birth year into an assigned trade.
Common mistakes
- Replacing the day master’s element with nayin.
- Adding nayin into the weight total.
- Assigning an occupation from the nayin name.

Frequently asked questions
Should the four nayin names be merged?
No. Write each pillar’s sound on its own. The day master remains the day stem.
If nayin disagrees with a ten god, which stays?
The ten god. Nayin stays at the level of a name.
If the hour is missing, is there still an hour nayin?
No. An unsettled hour pillar has no settled nayin. Do not pick an hour to obtain a pleasant name.
