{The Five Elements Unfailing}

original: 五行不敗 (Wǔxíng bù bài). This section lists specific sexagenary pillars (combinations of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches) where the "Melodic Element" remains strong and does not suffer the "Failure" or "Bath" stage usually associated with those positions.

{Fixed Rules for Non-Extinction}

original: 不絶定例 (Bù jué dìnglì). "Extinction" (Jue) is the point in the twelve-stage cycle where energy is at its lowest. These pillars are exceptions that maintain their vital force.

The "Twelve Palaces" (十二宮) refer to the twelve stages of the life cycle in Chinese astrology, used to determine the strength of an element at a given time.

{Longevity}

original: 長 (Zhǎng). The first half of the term "Changsheng." In Chinese metaphysics, this represents the birth of an element and its entrance into the world.

The stage of Longevity ensures a life of long-lasting glory;
Especially when meeting with auspicious deities in the chart.
When this influence reappears in the day and hour of birth, it produces a spiritual nature;
In youth, such a person may pass the civil exams and enter the Royal Palace.

{Birth}

original: 生 (Shēng). The second half of the term "Changsheng." While the Woodblock divides the character into two headers, they represent the single "Birth" stage of the life cycle.

If one encounters the phase of Birth in their destiny,
Parents, wife, and children will suffer no harm or misfortune.
From birth, one is destined to lead the ancestral estate to prosperity,
Enjoying peaceful blessings and protection from beginning to end.
