Tai Ji Noble: five-group table, origin and examples
Tai Ji Noble (Tai Ji Gui Ren, 太极贵人) is a traditional branch lookup grouped by the stem’s element. Its name invokes beginning and return. Associations with inquiry and reflection are imagery, not proof of special powers, spiritual status or religious belief.
Five stem groups have different numbers of candidates
This guide uses the Day Stem (the upper symbol in the birth-day column) and the branch convention below, grouping Jia with Yi, Bing with Ding, and the remaining stems by element. One target can match; a row need not be complete.
Wu and Ji have four candidates while other groups have two. Raw match counts therefore begin from different candidate sets and cannot serve as a ranking of insight.
| Day-Stem group | Candidate branches |
|---|---|
| Jia / Yi | Zi / Wu 午 |
| Bing / Ding | Mao / You |
| Wu 戊 / Ji | Chen / Xu / Chou / Wei |
| Geng / Xin | Yin / Hai |
| Ren / Gui | Si / Shen |
Does Chen mean the same thing on Wu and Jia days?
Wu targets Chen, Xu, Chou and Wei, so Chen at the month is one Tai Ji location. Jia targets Zi and Wu instead; Chen alone does not meet that row.
Chen still contains Wu, Yi and Gui whether the marker matches or not. A different Day Master changes their Ten Gods; the Tai Ji label does not add or remove hidden stems.
Beginning, return and everyday inquiry
Sanming Tonghui explains beginning and return through images such as Wood receiving Water and ending in Fire, Metal with Yin and Hai, and Earth with the four stores. Transcriptions contain omissions; this guide identifies its branch convention instead of inventing a new table from an incomplete sentence.
The image can invite questions about what you enjoy investigating and how you test your understanding. Learning and practice provide better evidence of ability. Clarify does not currently calculate Tai Ji Noble.
